question on MRO
Normal week, we'd find out tomorrow. then a day to appeal and day for it to be heard.

that would be friday night before Jye would know if he can go on thursday's team sheet
anyone know what happens with that from our game?
Can probably name him pending appeal and then late change

I don’t think they’re suspended unless they accept the charge or the tribunal confirms it, so until then you’re free to act as usual.
 
The whole point for me is it is just a dumb action not needed in the game. Do not care how soft the impact is you simply do not need to do it. He deserves a week for stupid. My opinion is if you want to punch a bloke you get 1 week to start off with as low impact then you go up the scale from there. It is not a football act . If you want to punch blokes then take up boxing. I would be more impressed if he stuck to his normal game and just kept up the physical contact with his tackling and pressure.

Shouldn’t even be a fine but this is the same MRO that officially cleared Zerk-Thatcher for head butting Isaac Heeney’s fist.

Caldwell was close to best on ground for the first half though so that was good to see.

The matrix saved him. I reckon they thought very hard about giving him a week, but figured due to it ultimately being low impact, it'd get reduced to a fine anyway on appeal.

Was an absolutely stupid move on his part.
They know they stuffed up with merrett and thought the efc bleating about Caldwell potentially missing would another excuse for efc supporters to whinge. Especially when him playing (or not) against the cats will have no impact on the inevitable reaming we'll cop.
 
Yes. It's good to know there's an agro mongrel not far from the surface. At some point we may need his inner Toby.


He'd know what Toby is like more than all of us.

Flip and Shiel would likewise.

Edit: Same with Setterfield.
