MRP / Trib. 2024 MRO & Tribunal discussion

[TEDDY24INC]

What a joke.

But did we expect anything else? Bit of a mess the game atm

 

[bruce lindner]

This over correction to protect the head at all costs is becoming an expense in some scenarios to the spirit of competitiveness and the contest

 

[Dee Train]

Just visiting to show my support. What an absolute bullshit decision. Hope the Cats appeal and win.

flopping his head last night might help the narrative this week

I'd honestly like to see the AFL and umpiring fraternity put on a practical demonstration of a guy tackling a player from behind, at approx 30kmh, and doing it differently.

 

[OzeSparky]

Did I just hear on the news the Cats are challenging the Dangerfield decision?

That's been the line since yesterday - think they have to wait until tomorrow to make it official

 

[Generalissimo]

Have to challenge that, it's complete bullshit.

 

[Spearman]

I think the holding onto both of Walsh's arms will work against him. Aside from the head touching a blade of grass in a tackle, that has been on the markers. And didn't they seem to say last week that a sling alone is ok.

I still think that there should be media campaign promoting the tacklee showing duty of care for himself. If he feels the grip of an opposition player, he is 'tackled' and must give himself up and stop.

Happy with the decision to challenge, but part of me was thinking that if Dangerfield was out the Match Committee would nearly be forced to play one of the VFL guys that haven't been rewarded - Knevitt, Mannagh, Hardie

They would just bring Parfitt back.

Who?

 

[BotsMaster]

When was the last time we challenged?

 

[fpm84]

When was the last time we challenged?

We challenged a one week suspension to Close for a tackle on Jordan Dawson last year but the appeal failed.

AFL tribunal hands down verdict on Cats forward Close's ban

Brad Close has learnt his tribunal fate.

[Hamingja]

When was the last time we won a challenge? Our record would be shocking

I posted before that I'd like to see the AFL and umps give a practical demonstration of a guy running his opponent down from behind at a speed around 30kmh, and tackling him without pinning both arms and without taking both to ground.

I'll venture it's impossible.

At a minimum it'd require the tackler to use one arm only, which would almost defy physics, certainly create an unbalanced action, and consequently cause a higher probability of injury.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I was dead certain Dangerfields suspension was being upheld. Now the media has talked me into it being overturned.

Who knows

 

[Hamingja]

I think Danger did what he could and Walsh contributed to his head hitting the ground but going to be a hard one to successfully argue at tribunal I feel

Apparently we will also be arguing for medium impact to be reduced to low which would overturn the suspension.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I don't think Paddy will get the ruling downgraded.

Not a dig, but a serious question.....how else could he have tackled him, what else could he have done??

Released Walsh to allow him to either dispose of the ball or run off b
