MRP / Trib. Ablett found NOT GUILTY of intentional strike

[catempire]

“Intentional” is crazy. Punches and eye gouges are intentional. Raising your arm clumsily is not.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Martin actually struck him on the shoulder. But, Dangerfield was allowed to strike a bloke twice and got off, so, i am expecting “the Geelong allowance” to be applied here.

Chief set up a reservation for Richmond barrackers to keep them from infecting the rest of the board with their obnoxious idiocy.
Get back to it before they notice you've escaped.

Qualifies as joke of the week.

 

[DrakeOMalfoy]

I agree!



Is that even a ground for appeal?

Players with an exemplary record can argue that they’re good record constitutes exceptional and compelling circumstances, which would provide tribunal with discretion to apply what sanction they choose.

Change your team supported to Geelong and you're likely to be carded for that.

Players with an exemplary record can argue that they’re good record constitutes exceptional and compelling circumstances, which would provide tribunal with discretion to apply what sanction they choose.

This is all I could find in the rules that applies to mitigation:

(D) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES In determining the appropriate classification to be given to a Reportable Offence, the MRP will not take into account any provocation or whether a Player was acting in self-defence. However, while the Tribunal will generally apply the sanction corresponding to a particular offence, the Tribunal has the power in exceptional and compelling circumstances for the Tribunal to substitute another outcome if it is appropriate in all the circumstances to do so.

There's no mention of matters relating to "exemplary records"

(G) IMPACTOFAGOODRECORD
Players will not automatically receive a reduced sanction for a good record. However, if a Classifiable Offence is contested or referred to the Tribunal, a Player with an exemplary record may argue that their good record constitutes exceptional and compelling circumstances under Regulation 18.6(a)(ii) (which would make it inappropriate to apply the consequences in Appendix 1 to the determined classification). This record refers only to matches played at AFL or State League level and leave of the Tribunal Chairman is not required to tender evidence in relation to this issue. In such circumstances, the Jury members would determine the appropriate sanction in their absolute discretion.

Cheers, found it.

LOL, they even have a picture of Ablett underneath it!!!!!!

Clearly it’s all be set up for him haha!

Prophetic to say the least.

Just goes to show how propagandised the whole thing has become.

Anyone interested in a proper discussion about the forensics?

Check out the Cousins suspension:



Hits Petrevski-Seton with a forearm in the head (without jumping), and gets rubbed out for intentional & low contact.

Ablett:



Hits Shiel with a forearm in the head (and jumps), and gets rubbed out for intentional & low contact.

GAJ, is not going to beat intentional, as he jumped at Shiel and they are both the same height (182 cms).

Both players who received contact get up and play on, so that didn't rule out the low contact factor in Cousin's case.

If GAJ gets off, then Cousins should consider himself very stiff.

See a very big difference between both of them. The context is extremely dissimilar. For a start cousins elected to go a high wack front on when the ball was kicked. There was absolutely no legitimate intent trying to go for a smother as he had no action of trying to smother the ball. He elected to go the man and went high. That’s a suspension everyday of the week.

Abletts was in the context of a over the top handpass that he didn’t get the timing right in an attempted smother. Hence the two open palms out and also the jump upwards from the side.

Two extremely different cases when you actually look at them.

What a clever poppet you are, but no matter you still won't win next week.

I know, but you lot won't win the flag, so it's all about the draft picks then. I'll take our ones.

 

[Chinacats]

Really soft. Seemed his fingers touched him first then came the sliding elbow. Should appeal. Maybe no holy trinity this week!

 

[AlcoaCat]

Who is Christiansen to judge the son of god

Yes, the blasphemer. Calls himself a Christian. Deserves to be smited.

 

[Daniel McL]

I can absolutely see why they’ve graded it intentional considering he left the ground with a raised forearm as Michael Christian and others have said.

It was insufficient force though. That’s the difference between the Grimes/Cousins ones and the Ablett one, Cousins hit Petrevski-Seton flush, Grimes hit Elliot flush, Ablett’s hand gets Shiel’s face/head and then Ablett’s forearm gets the back/side of Shiel’s head which at that stage was at absolutely insufficient force.

This might be the saddest post on Bigfooty

 

[maryjames]

Cousins from Hawks got 1 week for the exact same thing last week. Pull the other one.

Absolutely deserves a week.

His hit was way harder. Abletts was soft as. Watch again

 

[Reppie]

Just a week.
Not to fussed really.
Seemed fairly soft though.

Ah. The snake in the grass reveals its true motive here.

Gazza trying to smother the ball and momentum brushes his arm up and slightly shields heads butts Abletts arm ever so slightly.

A week for that. Lol afl what a joke.

The first one the hawks player connected harder .. but look to be an accident.

The headbutt on the weekend were more dangerous then these incidents and he got nothing. Odd

You guys need em nice and high. Mr Wells plucks kids like LDU late in the draft just for fun.

Exact same thing? Um, no
