MRP / Trib. 2019 MRP Chook Lotto - Carlton Tribunal News & Reports

[Jabba73]

Need to appeal on several grounds:
1. Sling tackle requires two separate motions by the AFL's own definition
2. Duty of Care applies especially when BOTH arms are pinned in the tackle, one arm is free and the player made no attempt to protect himself
3. The player hit his head a second time, contributing to the injury, after the GCS medico's let him stand up without any support, prior to being medically assessed.

It was a very good tackle with a poor outcome.

Cannot possibly agree that tackle is worth 2 weeks more suspension than a hit to the head of an unsuspecting player 100 meters off the ball.

I don’t think it was a sling, but it was aggressive and deserves a week.

Of course it was aggressive. It was a tackle.

Show me one tackle in the history of the game that isn’t aggressive.

That’s what tackles are.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Your team really needs to appeal this poor decision by the MRO. Shouldn’t have even been a free kick!

He could have been less aggressive and let Powell break the tackle?

 

[FRUMPY]

Should run out with pillows next week and put one under their head before we tackle anyone.

Or don't tackle with intent and let them get their handball away

I think he should’ve tickled him.

 

[FRUMPY]

This is what frustrates me so much. Are we penalizing the act or the result?

From my knowledge (might be wrong) it was a legal tackle. It was 1 motion and the player had an arm free leaving him able to protect himself. If that player protects himself, does Setterfield get reported? No.

On the contrary if it was a illegal tackle and the player wasn't injured from it, it should still be reported.

That's my opinion on this mess of a system anyway.

It's been the result for years. If gc player gets up the nothing happens to setterfield.

Same with Dangerfield/martin, if he does his act and breaks a cheekbone, he gets 4 weeks. Otherwise one or a fine.

Penalise the action, not the result.

Jones' 'Tackle Of The Week' was a worse action than Setterfield's

It wasn’t even a free kick!

 

[Foucault1989]

Well that ruins setters brownlow chances. Good one Michael christian

Setters out is ok. Need to make the most of it. Two week hard training block. He hasn’t been impacting the game anyway.

 

[Jabba73]

I don’t think it was a sling, but it was aggressive and deserves a week.

As a general observation, the player with the ball is being given plenty of time and opportunity to get rid of it which hasn’t helped us at all, as we don’t seem to be able to 100% nail our tackles.

If he doesn’t tackle in an aggressive manner, does he deserve a week off from the senior side because he doesn’t shut down the play?

Might end his career if he cannot tackle with intent.

Yeah it's not the end of the world, Kennedy will come in for him and probably have a bigger impact. Still a terrible decision though and the inconsistency is what's most annoying.

The positive is getting Kennedy some time in the 1's to prove himself and Setters can sort out any niggles coming off the knee and clear his head after his first run of games for 2 years.

Correct.

How can a player get 2 weeks for a natural part of the game tackling but throwing elbows and punches you get a fine or a week ****ing AFL is a farce.
Yes the poor kid was concussed not good but it wasn't a sling it was a great tackle that unfortunately the kid got knocked out. Yet again the AFL go with the outcome not the action Joke.

 

[jackn]

Any murph tackle will do here.

I said tackle, not missed tackle.

They should have put setterfield tackle as tackle of the week

Not a star player, and not playing for a successful club. Maximum penalty is correct weight.

 

[Johnno 10]

Once again the MRO looks at the outcome and not the action when determining the penalty. How this action is deemed to be more severe than Martins elbow in the face or the elbow Grimes handed out is farcical.

 

[Pater44]

You are advocating corrupting a corrupt system further, in your own interests.

I leave it to you to decide if such is cheating. All I'll say is this; what you describe was the weapon of choice of the Essendon football club as they attempted to get their players exempted from sanctions or bans.

Where have I said to corrupt the system??? The system is corrupt. How does suggesting us to have a voice in the media to fight for us and the same at AFL level mean being corrupt? It doesn’t... what it does suggest is its time for us to get a fair go!!! Level the playing field.

We have been on the back foot ever since Elliot was ousted. Not condoning what was done in that era, but bloody hell at least we had a strong voice. Nowadays we are too scared to say anything!!!

This is a disgrace. The Club should appeal. Others have set out the reasons why. Only the AFL could support 1 week for punching but 2 weeks for a solid tackle.

 

[HBF]

Have to challenge.

We sure do. Powell's left arm was free and he could have protected himself as he was tackled

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Better appeal.
Risk whatever else.
Show some backbone.
Management need to show players they have their back.

Bloody good tackle. Unfortunate outcome.

 

[HBF]

Not a bad way to look at it.

 

[Carl]

It's time this club stood up just not on the field but off the field as well. Show some fight and contest this rubbish decision. Show the supporters we are up for a fight. Players might take some note.
