MRP / Trib. Yeo offered a week

[FatPizza]

surely chaplin gets 2 down to 1 for his spoil attempt on ballantyne?

No blood was drawn. And the two main commentators are West Australian so they're not making a beat-up of it.

Was saying the same thing. I wouldn't usually call it but MRP has to stay consistent.

lol

You'll get better consistency out of spoiled milk than the MRP

Was fully aware of the irony in my post. Just sayin'

 

[Bacchus]

yeh agreed no way it should even be cited (nor should have yeo), but its exactly the same thing..

Worse.

Anyone going to carry on national TV that he has a case to answer?
Lingey gave the verdict "it was fine, in the act of spoiling".
Perhaps it all depends on which team you play for?

Yeah Yeo's verdict was a farce, and the club should have challenged. Can't blame Lingey for that opinion though (unless he was one of the guys saying Yeo was in trouble)

What's the difference between the Chaplin and Yeo incidents? Surely Chaplin will get cited

 

[russ]

and of course nothing to answer for.

Ziebells attempted spoil on buddy was very similar. Buddy went down and grabbed his face.
Victorian flog commentators forgot to hang him.

The punch in the back of Buddy's head was worse than any other spoil this year. Clear fist to the back of the head.

 

[Dark Sharks]

^ Yeah that's exactly what i thought. His fist makes a beeline straight for the back of Franklins head, and it wasn't even close to spoiling.

Much much worse than the Yeo incident which i'd like to think was a genuine attempt to spoil. And all the commentators did was chuckle about it like it's totally within the rules "Corrrr heh heh Furrito got him a good one there, nice cheapie...."

How can a direct punch in the back of the head be worse than a swinging arm flailing at the ball?

 

[lmach]

On AFL Game Day they just said Ellis will probably have a case to answer for his slide, but they all just laughed off Firrito's punch to the back of Buddy's head and said it's just a free kick. Apparently it's OK to "make him earn it", as long as you're a Victorian of course.

 

[mick06]

There was no blood for the afl to be worried about mummys pulling their kids out of auskick and toddling down to soccer practice so he probably gets away with that fist to head

 

[Masto]

I have come to the conclusion the AFL just suspend you if you injure someone and that what you actually do is of little consequence - even if it happens a dozen times every week.

Geelong (eg Chapman, etc) often used to slide in with the knees as 3rd man into a tackle.

Part of me would not be terribly sad if Ellis got suspended for something that is a joke, just based on how he has reacted to the vic bias in the past (all aus team reaction and rising star etc.) I can see him giving the afl a major public serve about the bias, quoting examples, having probably researched and found the many inconsistencies ie yeo suspension. I hope this happens.

He probably wouldn't cause it might cost him a bit of cash, not when it involves him personally anyway. Tell you who would give them a spray is Jacob Brennan, one of the best '**** the VFL' accounts to follow on Twitter. Always has good things to say about us and points out a ton of inconsistencies, makes me happy that (ex) players are aware of some of the shit that goes on.
