MRP / Trib. 2015 MRP/ Carlton Tribunal News & Reports (aka Chook lotto)

[Jabba73]

I lost all faith in the MRP the day Hodge got off hitting Hendo in the throat with an elbow because the ruckman ran the wrong pattern at a stoppage.

I thought that was as staggering as it could get, yet they continually are able to raise the bar.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Which one?

Exactly ... you saw nothing. Keep it that way.

 

[LanceRomance]

Little annoyed the cotchin incident wasnt assessed given that others have gone for similar things

 

[Keyza]

So Selwood only gets one week for his chicken wing tackle, Judd got 4 weeks.
Howe also cleared for his sling tackle. I have no idea, neither do the MRP by the look of it.

 

[Dramoth]

What a ****ing joke...

I can't help but think that maybe us conspiracy theorists, about it being the AFL vs Carlton with us getting the rough end of the pineapple, might be right!

It was against carlton, why would it be looked at? Struggling to find words to describe the mrp

 

[HARKER]

So they were wrong. Who knew?

Credit where credit is due though..... At least they admitted being wrong.

 

[ESKIE]

Just you think it can't get more puzzling, these eff wits prove you wrong

Regarding?

 

[Keyza]

Mark Evans has apparently just said that Schulz should have been cited.
Changed his tune from last week when he said that the difference was that Gibbs' took 2 steps before the tackle.

 

[Pick7]

They are just a joke at this point.

I'm hoping Gibbs lets his "Pal" from Port know about this development.

It would just invite "suck shit pal" response from the SANFL player.

 

[Navy Cream]

It would just invite "suck shit pal" response from the SANFL player.

True...... and Gibbs wouldn't be able respond being out for the rest of 2015.

 

[HBF]

Staggering that some Richmond supporters think Vickery shouldn't have been suspended. Their delusion is blinding.

 

[Jabba73]

At least they are consistently inconsistent.

 

[mediumsizered]

They are just a joke at this point.

Ball, Sewell, Burke, Christian. In what universe did the AFL think this group could make intelligent decisions about player indiscretions?

The idea that ex-players are able to pass judgement on reportable incidents is just laughable. A much better idea would be to have a panel of ex-umpires who at least have some concept of applying the rules of the game.

Just put the two side by side - not sure how they can be separated (apart from resulting injury - but that wasn't such an issue then). The resultdifference seems to come from the commentators 'dismay' and resulting witch hunt. What a surprise - death by media!!

 

[JamisonRun40]

How many players were knocked or nearly knocked out unconscious over this round of football matches?

Yeah not sure about neutrality there. Shouldn't have anybody that has played with or against those they are sitting in judgment over.

Just posted in their thread.

Can you believe there are a couple of Tigers posters who believe Jamison ran into Vickery?

How anyone can look at the footage and see that is astounding. This sort of delusion is why cults grow. See what you want to see...

And saying Jamo should watch where he is running.

 

[ShanDog]

Players should be responsible for seeing what's around them, but you can hardly blame the guy for focussing a little more on his man and the likely incoming ball... that was 50m away....

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Yeah, having that very discussion on the umpiring board Shan.

 

[mediumsizered]

Ball's previous position as AFLPA president would certainly compromise his impartiality & I don't know how Sewell could be involved in any deliberations about someone like Sam Mitchell, who has now got away with kneeing an opponent twice this year.
