MRP / Trib. Kossie Pickett hit on Bailey Smith

[LukeParkerno1]

When he was at the hawks he couldn't sneeze without getting suspended... wonder what changed

The reality is they got both charges wrong Bud should have got what Pickett got, and Pickett should have been intentional. In true AFL fashion they bugger both up

 

[GWT6]

So Buddy causes more damage and has a shocking record but gets 1 week?

And Buddy lifted his elbow trying to take the blokes head off. Thisa photo just before impact.

 

[HairyO]

Because it's hard to prove he intended to hit him high.

He jumped up at him. Did he slip upwards ?

 

[GWT6]

In a week like this how are the suspensions so soft that’s the part I don’t get. I expected them to go too harsh not the other way!

Yeah, when I was watching and I saw Pickett jump I thought 4 weeks is deserving, but will get 6 weeks to set an example. When I saw Buddy's I thought 4 weeks plus a penalty for the poor record and the player was injured, but AFL will give him one week max, because he is a star.

Looks like Pickett got a small punishment so that Buddy wouldn't have to miss too many games.

What a joke this is.

Bud I had being a 2 week ban, if anything should have been Carless/high/high which is a 2 week ban on the table. How Pickett was not intentional with his WWE shoulder to the head action I have utterly no idea. The AFL are not helping themselves. Now just you watch the Crows bloke get 4-6 now to just drive fans nuts.

Franklin diverted off his line and raised his elbow to hit a player high. How is that not intentional? Both intentional, both high contact, one high impact.

Pickett should get an extra week for stupidity. Franklin should get a couple of extra for being a sniper coward.

Under no circumstances was Franklins worse least the ball was somewhere near the area! Both were stupid and the AFL is worse by their wet paper penalties to both

 

[Bald]

Both should’ve gotten three weeks.

His uncle wasn't huge but was the best 'bumper' of his generation

His uncle's playing weight was 88kg.

 

[Engimal v3]

Fair hit, play on

 

[Hoops]

Based on Stewart getting 4 weeks then yes, but Stewart went to the tribunal. Based on the matrix - they got it right.

Matrix is stupid as there is no way Stewart should have got 4, even Cats fans couldn’t believe their luck.

Either the AFL needs to come out and appeal both or cut the rubbish about them protecting the head because these penalties aren’t.

Yeah I think we can agree the matrix isn’t worth the table it’s written in.

They needed to have sent it to the tribunal before they were penalised. The MRO got it right within their capacity to punish.

Four was about right for Stewart. The action was no worse than Buddies and probably more tame than Picketts, it's just the outcome was worse, but that's how the justice system works. Murder is worse than attempted murder even if the action is the same.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Like a scud missile.

If you slow it down, you can actually see where he turned into one.

They didn't for Frankling and Pickett.

They were graded as careless when both are clearly and 100% intentional.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Looks like Kozzy is going to appeal.
New evidence has come to light that shows that Kozzy didn't actually launch himself at Bailey. Bailey was just inhaling through his nose and Kozzy got caught in the slipstream.

See I’m all about creative banter like this. Bravo sir.

 

[Jeff76]

That hit will be played at every tribunal hearing for the rest of the year, MRP just shot themselves in the foot big time. They seriously don’t give a shit about player welfare.

2 is ok. Wouldn’t have been surprised at 3. Lucky the impact was ok.

 

[Elixuh]

Glad he got 2. Need to get sick hits like this out of the game. Just tackle you scrub. Z

 

[doggies ftw]

So exact same bump on Paddy McCartin and he probably misses 8+ weeks if he’s fit to ever return to the game, and how many weeks does Pickett miss? How is there any argument whatsoever to judge on the outcome when we know that the same action on 3 different blokes will have 3 completely different results.

Punish the act ffs, this was as intentional of a dog act as you will see in the modern game and it’s crazy that he’s not missing at least a month

 

[HBFlanker]

Should have been a minimum of 4. Very ordinary act.

Quickly becoming a very easy to dislike player. Try hard Byron.

I’m completely in agreement with you. We won’t ever live in a world where attempted murder and murder are punished equally. Maybe they should be.

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Both should’ve gotten three weeks.

For mine Franklin's should have been 3, McAdam 3-4, Pickett 6. Pickett's is the dirtiest bump in years, very solid contact and only sheer luck that he didn't knock Smith out.

I do think Christian is a ****wit, but I think the table is also completely wrong. Intentional is only given +1 week when I think it should be x2. It's a joke that careless severe gets only 3+ versus intentional severe as 4+. Intentional/ Severe is the worst thing on the field you can do. It should start at 5-6 weeks.
