Has willie rioli been handed a lifelong ban for his attack on the ball, collecting rowell in the process?

I heard he got the Nobel Peace Prize which, in fairness, he actually did more to earn than Obama.

 

[DickDunn]

One match ban for Rioli confirmed

 

[Biggie]

 

[Rowan18]

Challenge that shit, he did not make high contact for a start.

 

[Bender_]

"High contact" now anything above the waist.

Almost done with this league now.

 

[WCErevival]

Time to show why we gave DG QC life membership.

 

[Sammy J]

Wasn’t even deemed a free kick. How can you be suspended for that?!

 

[HoneyBadger35]

’s face starts somewhere near his stomach I guess?

 

[KERRPOW]

what a joke, has half a second to brace for impact.

 

[flyinghi64]

Fox commentators were all over. At least made it so it would get scrutinized.
They could have easily said nothing to see, umpires called play on so should we.
HOW THE F@#$ IS THIS JOKE MRO STILL THE MRO??????

 

[DanWCE]

If West Coast and Willie are comfortable being in the media and spotlight this week I think we'll challenge it. Willie was legitimately trying to intercept that kick in the Suns forward line. He only seemed to brace at the last moment when he realised contact would be made. At that point he's already flying in the air.

Should Willie prefer to lay low and just focus on playing footy I don't see the club forcing him to challenge it, they'll take the week.

 

[Goroyals22]

He is lucky he didn’t do more serious damage which may have also come into the ruling per the MRO guidelines..

Rowell had the ball in his hands just before Willie decided to leave the ground so he was late for sure.. was it great to see yeah but definitely against the rules..

Between that and his late bump in the last quarter that cost a goal I hope we aren’t going to see a year of him trying to imitate the last years of chris lewis’s career.

 

[ZergMinion]

Challenge that sh*t, he did not make high contact for a start.

Got any good video of the incident? Rioli's hip is about the height of Rowell's head when they collided so I'd be surprised if there was no high contact.

 

[Doughboy]

As soon as I saw it, I thought he may be in trouble...

 

[Rowan18]

Just my take on the full speed and Rowell reaction. Looks like he was winded and hit in the chest/collarbone area.

Brisbane are going for it, so we might as well have a crack. Make the MRO earn it.

 

[Seadog]

One week is not enough for the lynch mob on fox.

But only one player per appeal sitting gets the charge dismissed!

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Slow mo at it's finest, watch it in real time and it's a none issue.

 

[Smeg Head]

Frankly we get cucked again, mrp continues to be harsher on teams outside of the ones that sell the papers in Vic. Medium Impact is clearly bullshit considering how he played after that.

 

[squashface]

Can't believe evil Rioli could do that to a defenceless teenager.

How dare anyone touch golden boy Rowell

 

[whatis]

The lesson is: don't run back for marks. Too dangerous for the opponent also trying to mark it.

 

[Ishmael_]

There's been a bit of a paradigm shift, a few years ago, there would be outcry at that being a suspendable offence or an offence at all.

Unfortunately I don't think there is the narrative there to get Rioli acquitted. Instead I think this will fall under the 'looks dangerous' category of offence and they'll find a way to rub him out.

 

[Spooky17]

Willie did not make head/high contact initially, had eyes on the ball and a free kick was not paid.

Rowell even played on unaffected.

I understand they are trying to remove head high contact and protect players, but this was a fair bump.

Free Willie… again.

 

[Ochre]

Round 1 and were already getting a tribunal challenge thread?

Maybe this year isn't so bad after all
