Laid a tackle after a free kick was paid. Worst report ever and should be withdrawn.

Re: James Kelly reported?
rough conduct charge. On replay it was complete crap and odds on it will be dropped.

Re: James Kelly reported?
It looked a laughable report at the ground and the replay confirmed it.
It'll be withdrawn without hesitation, just a shame the umpire won't be made to account for such a dreadful decision.

Re: James Kelly reported?
As soon as the umpires review the incident the charge will be withdrawn.
From the umpires view it looked as if Kel went in with his knees and made high contact where in fact he hit the ground nothing to worry about

Re: James Kelly reported?
Yeah, he got reported for rough conduct, all he done was lay a tackle, don't know what the umpire saw, but you could hear Kelly say "Are you serious"?. Nothing in it at all, will be dropped.

Re: James Kelly reported?
Slightly off topic, but does anyone think the Sydney player who dumped Ablett in a tackle will be cited? Was a lot similar to the one Milburn got a week for a couple of years ago, and I thought the AFL was cracking down on crude tackles, especially when the player being tackled is slung to ground after disposing of the ball.

"the Sydney player" was the big Mummy! Imagine if he'd done any serious damage to Gazza jnr....his former teammates wouldn't have been too happy with him.

Re: James Kelly reported?
Ump right on the spot sees the Kelly incident and doesn't book him.Razor Ray who was well off the incident runs in and books him.Grandstanding little midget moron.
He's taken over Hayden Kennedys role - every game he must lay one report.

Couldn't put it better myself. Just as I thought we were about to see the last of Kennedy along comes another show pony.

Not reportable - had the ball at the start of the tackle and was all one action. But this MRP is pretty unpredictable...

He just doesn't get it. These are the type of decisions that will continue to keep him out of umpiring a grand final
He just has this massive little man urge to stamp his authority on the match and grandstand

Didn't seem to affect Kel's game though. Was one of the best on ground.

Re: James Kelly reported?
It is by far the worst decision I have seen for a long, long time. A trip to the pasture for that ump for sure. Woeful decision.

I actually laughed. Was not even close to being anything in it but it will be dropped so doesn't really matter.

Re: James Kelly reported?
At the game I thought it looked pretty bad, but on replay it was a fair bump I reckon, not even sure that he got him in the head, however O'Keefe (I think it was) went down like an absolute bitch. Trav certainly has bulked up.

Re: James Kelly reported?
On the replays it didn't even look as though Varcoe made contact to ROK's head, just high up on the body. We put him down a few times yesterday and it was good to see.
The Kelly one made no sense. If that is rough conduct then they could report someone from every stoppage for what goes on under the pack.
