Ban him for life.

And the longer they delay making a decision the more idiots come out having an opinion on it. Just hand down the suspension and have done with it, we all know he's copping one.

Of course the intense media scrutiny will help justify handing down an inordinately long suspension, so that's probably their aim.

What happened to the MRO coming to a finding within 24 hours?

Maybe they’re worried if they’re harsh on Marley, they’ll have to be harsh on one of their favourites

Only starts in the home and away season apparently

Former North premiership player David King believes match review officer Michael Christian's ruling on Williams' bump on Western Bulldog Ed Richards will set a season-long precedent.

I think there is an opportunity here at the start of 2020 to say this has to be outlawed from our game," King told Fox Sports.
"If you're going to change behaviour, it has to be four or five weeks [suspension]."

Christian will release his verdict on the Williams case later Monday

I imagine the narrative would be different if the transgressor was (Hodge/Fyfe/Cotchin/Dangerfield etc) or any other AFL pin up boy, but North player, lets make an example and get this out of the game is par for the course, will cop his whack and be back ready for active duty.

Should get off as it was an accident, but he wont. General principle is if you choose to bump when you could have tackled then you are responsible for the outcome. On that basis, 3 for 2 I'm guessing, but he is a bit stiff.

You’re a breath of fresh air

 

[Tectonic]

Jeez

9 times out of 10 when a player is in Marley's spot with a teammate having a better line to the ball you'd go to bump

And 9 times out of 10 the player in Ed's spot doesn't fall into it.

It's unlucky that it's careless/high and should be 2 weeks max. If you "make a statement" on this bump we might as well be playing basketball.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

What does he want to stamp out next, players pushing each other during a centre bounce?

 

[hilly]

Easy target. Happens to us far too often. He was silly and should get 1-2 but farking hell..

 

[SMaturin]

I’m fairly sure I can remember King making similar pronouncements at this time last year and the year before.

Wasn't the ball loose though? Can't tackle without old ginger spice having the ball. Anyway, what's done is done, 1 week and lets move on. 1 week for sheer tokenism.

 

[One Eyed Roo]

No f*n way it's intentional.

I think all Kingy did then was let us know that he hasn’t bothered to watch it.

Imagine a high-profile Collingwood supporter saying one of their players should be suspended for five weeks. Just wouldn't happen.

 

[apollo_creed]

I haven't seen the Williams one but from the sounds of it a suspension is likely (and warranted) but have seen the Crouch (on Oliver) one and he should definitely get games.

Still entitled to bump if within 5 metres (I think).

Whately's view was 2 weeks for Marley and 1 week for Crouch (I haven't seen the Crouch one).

Did they mention Zorko? I had to turn it off after Kingy campaigning to get Marley 5 weeks.

Zorko needs to be pulled up for what he did.
Shite act from a shite bloke.

If it had of been into the fence rather then the bench he’d be in big trouble

 

[shinboner magic]

Kingy is flog and would step on his own mother to move up a rung in the world

They did once an sms’er brought it up but I, like you, wasn’t listening closely as the King rant had me fired up at the time.

2 weeks for Marley

crouch got a fine
