This week's hit was even later than the one on Shiel last week. There is no way it can be regarded as anything but intentional (except in the crazy, mixed up world which is the AFL).

Repeat offender, must get at least a week. No Brownlow this year for the "Little Master". **** him

They will use the precedent from last weeks decision to get him off, maybe a small fine.

Won’t allow him to be suspended for an accumulation of offences, unlike Levi who got suspended for two late-ish hip and shoulders that barely warranted a free downfield, and an open handed push to the chest of an opponent who had been kidney punching him and chopping his arms at every contest without penalty.
Don’t go looking for fairness or logic in tribunal or MRP rulings.

Really can't wait for one of our players to accidentally hit someone with an elbow and get the full wrath of the MRO, it's inevitable.

Ablett - off the ball, jumps, raises his elbow and collects his opponent in the face - no penalty.
Fyfe - elects to bump, raises the elbow and pushes it into his opponent's face - no penalty.
Durdin - lays a block for his teammate, accidental head clash, opponent concussed - one week.
Seriously - this shit is ****ed. Absolutely corrupt. How Christian can keep his position after this I do not understand.
Part of me wonders if Gary is trolling the AFL. We'll know for sure if he does it again this week.

Not sure you can blame Christian, suspended Ablett last week and he got off on appeal so why go down that track again?
It's a system that penalises injuries not actions that is the blame.
You hit someone with a glass jaw and you get weeks, hit someone with a melon like a brick and there's nothing to see here.
Just ludicrous.
It's crazy.
Garry is being dirty with those hits 2 weeks in a row...when trying to block the player from overlap running there is no need to have his arms so high that he hits the guy in the head...i reckon he's looking to hurt the player a bit. Players now know they can do that with no penalty.
On the flip side, the ball carrier has to be worried that he'll get get an elbow to the face after drawing a man and releasing the footy...
Can't believe the AFL have been so soft on these hits and the off the ball stomach punches. The public are actually wanting it stamped out yet for some reason the AFL seem to want to keep it in the game.

Also Fyfe getting off with a high elbow to head area yet Durden gets a week for accidental head contact when shepherding
Christians reasoning should be seen as sorry Mr Durden but your nothing but a ******* nobody so count yourself lucky you only got a week
Gaz and Fyfey your fine to go nothing but bee stings there when shall we catch up for coffee boys
Whole thing needs a complete overhaul again

I've got nothing..yes I have ..
What a joke ....

Wow, this is such a joke. Ablett getting off twice is pathetic. I hope the club lodged a complaint or something.
**** you, MRP

Better appeal it or there will be enough fines accumulated over the season to make him ineligible for the RS award.
Use the elbows to the head as a comparison and ask for justification. Reckon there is also enough footage of Cripps getting beaten up to ask why others get off and Walsh gets pinged.

Don’t even remember the incident.
Didn't even realise Walsh was involved in anything. Did it come up on the coverage? Any footage of it around?

Very clever.
Also, I wonder if that's Daniel Gorringe's waitress... If so, perhaps that's why his coffee took so long to be delivered....
