Wines on Langdon

[ashep]

Very lucky but then again Buddy's had at least a couple of these this year so I can't whinge.

What difference does it make if Langdon got up. He left the ground, it was late, he chose to bump instead of tackle and it was to the head. Should be minimum 2 weeks. The MRP have lost the plot

It makes a massive difference in the grading of the charge.

but nice melt.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Clearly.

The MRP is incompetent. Hardly a surprise they stuffed this one up.

EFA.

Why? Some players break easier than others. It's absolute lunacy to assess based on injury to the victim. It's the action that counts most. Someone could do the exact same thing and if the victim gets concussion the player will be suspended 2 games. The way the MRP works does not discourage actions and behaviours. It's just farcical.

Do you know what is farcical? That Redpath didn't get 3

 

[Jaeger]

Hodge got weeks for bumping Wingard a couple years ago even though Chad was fine.

Ollie lucky they didn't add the potential to cause injury...

Redpath was silly. I expected 1 with 2 weeks because of his record. It sucks we're playin port this week because it dilutes my argument :-(

Lucky Wines wasn't playing against Carlton. Their medical team would of lied again and got him 2 weeks

 

[MAGA]

Very lucky

I'm not sure what people are arguing was graded wrong.

They never grade them intentional if they are in the play like this, so careless is nailed on.

I guess there is an argument to be made for medium impact, but impact grading is trial by medical report and it always has been, so Langdon getting straight up with no ill effects made it pretty hard to grade medium there.

Take off your bias glasses

hahaha, thought that myself.

So what part of the grading would you change?

 

[Footy Smarts]

Chapman missed a prelim final for something almost identical to that except Wines added in a raised elbow. Consistency eh...

what ever they found for the mumford one...

matthew boyd got 1 week for the same thing last year, meanwhile in that same game a melb player got off for same thing.

Lol that was more than a bump.

 

[Hawk_francais]

How did he not get a mandatory week?

I don't like seeing players suspended, but the MRP did not get this one right.

Another baffling decision really, given some of the soft things players have been given weeks for.

But in truth I long for the days when we wouldn't even be talking about suspension for something like this and he just gets a free kick and 50m penalty.

 

[ZingerB]

Yeah I guess Mummy's hit was a whole lot worse than Wines, Eh?

Rubbish.

To me Mumford is the outlier. They were never going to keep to that standard otherwise people would be missing 2 weeks all over the place. I'd be pretty miffed if I was GWS though. The jump was really irrelevant. Do you think he intended to hit the guy in the head yes or no? If you don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt, no one gets it, like Cameron. To grade it medium impact (like Mumford's) would just be absurd.

 

[firefighter]

So much for this wanting to protect the head BS!!!

 

[Struggle]

Mumford must be really dirty at this

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

lol what a suprise port fans dont think he did anything wrong...

 

[El_Scorcho]

No, Port fans think the grading of high contact, careless conduct and low impact and the resulting $1000 fine is correct.

 

[Knock knock]

So much for this wanting to protect the head BS!!!

Absolute joke that he got away with that! Hawkins should take note and next time he is frustrated jump into the air and elbow someone in the head instead of barely touching them with a jumper punch.
