MRP / Trib. MJ in trouble?

[Sman-21]

A lot of talk about MJ could be in trouble over a bump on an injured player.
I haven't seen any replays but my memory from the game is that MJ approached the player and looked like he was going to rough him up but the NTH player was the one who initiated contact once he saw MJ headed towards him.
Even if MJ initiated the contact which is not how I saw it at game at worst it should be a fine not a suspension.

I think he will be in more trouble over Nahas being tackled and he went in and slightly bumped him on the head that is the biggest worry for me.

They have 2 things to screw him for. Think he will be gone for sure. 2 reprimands like ballas. It will hurt missing his rebound against west coast.

In relation to black MJ did bump him as he was leaving the ground injured. I think MRP will come down heavy on that

I reckon it was pretty clear MJ who initiated the contact. The thing that might get him of is that it was a pretty soft contact - it wasn't particularly forceful. He went in roughish, but the contact was nothing major and the Nth player (Black was it?) turned and protected the shoulder and that was the end of it.

Yeah, the Nahas one was interesting. Certainly stuff like that has been looked at before - would be pretty unlucky because Nahas was going full tilt head down. He ran into MJ more than the other way around and there wasn't really anything else MJ could do, and that is usually what the MRP look for - did he have other options. My initial reading says he'll be OK.

That's without replays. Might change my mind if when I get a chance to look at them again.

MJ bump on Nahas, check out 3rd North free kick: http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay?round=CD_R201401406&matchId=CD_M2014014060

Not much in it, no real intention to bump, but knowing the MRP MJ will be given 15 weeks

You make contact with the head and you're gone, 2 weeks for MJ.

Unless you are Jared McVeigh

Hard to see it from the AFL footage, initially I thought MJ was just running around trying to get the ball but if he's bracing for a bump as he gets in front of Nahas he's in trouble.

 

[Simmofreo]

Do we honestly think he will go ? We have 3 really tough games to come
And Johnson and Dawson are so important for us. 2 more suspensions here could push us past tipping point and our season could be in Jepordy.

 

[salim malik]

I think its an automatic week suspension if you bump an injured player coming of the ground if the injured player is with trainers

 

[Simmofreo]

This sucks man. Eagles are down a bit and we have a chance of a very very must win game and we may have our 2 most important defenders suspended against their tall forwards. Makes me so friggin angry this undisciplined shit !!!!!! Now we will probably lose because we are "undermanned" throwing away the season so early

Grrrrrrrtrt

Have you seen us play today lol?

 

[Sman-21]

We can cover for them.
Just means we will give up 2-3 more goals in the game.

The problem will still be at the other end scoring enough to win.

I remember saying last year I never understood why teams didn't just keep 1 man in the last line of defence against us.
Instead of getting sucked up with the play to the middle of ground keep 1 guy behind at all times.
We score a lot of our goals on fast breaks/turnovers with players running into an empty or 1 on 1 in forward 50.
We need to keep more players in our forward line and not defensive mids.
Teams are now doing that against us.

 

[Righteo]

Mora and Hannath have also sustained reports in the Peel game.

Unfortunately, MRP doesn't really give a shit who we face next when they dish out suspensions

Time for the return of the giant SNOS.

 

[mike91]

Hes a Fremantle player, he gets a week before the mrp even look at the footage.

 

[DMan 11]

Time for the return of the giant SNOS.

Am I wrong in thinking that he was booked for rough conduct for laying a bump in the first qtr?
Jeez I hope not, it was fair, not high and young Cameron jogged away from it

 

[simpsonwillo]

If we lose MJ and Dawson we are in deep manure I reckon. Fingers crossed

If either of MJ or Dawson get suspended then we should challenge both charges. There has been far worse been done this year and players have not been suspended (ie Glass who only went for 1 and should be out for 2-3. Also, Bartel did far worse today on a Port player and there was no mention of it.

As for the bump that hit nahas... he was bumping a guy in front of nahas and missed him. Stumbled around the first bloke and accidentally grazed nahas. Hit was insufficient force for a start and there's no way in the world he was aiming at nahas. That'll be nothing. Didnt see the other one.

MATCH REVIEW PANEL - ROUND 6 PREDICTIONS

Fremantle defender Michael Johnson is also in danger of attracting the rarely issued charge of misconduct for unnecessary contact with an injured player, but his good record should ensure he does not face suspension.

Soon after North Melbourne's Aaron Black hurt his shoulder and began cradling it on his way to the interchange bench, Johnson sought him out and bumped him.

If Johnson is charged with intentional conduct, low impact and body contact, it would attract a penalty of 125 points, which would be cut to 93.75 for the Docker's unblemished record over the past six years. If coupled with a guilty plea that would cut the penalty to a reprimand and 70.31 carry-over points.

fingers crossed!

 

[Simmofreo]

No mention of Dawson interesting

 

[Taylor]

I find that rule confusing, it came about because Adam Selwood put a bump on Joel and came off second best, then Joel pushed him and told his big brother off about it.

 

[scon]

Was never going to be looked at and won't be.

 

[Harry Reems]

Dermot Brereton said yesterday on Game Day that there was nothing in the Dawson elbow to Harvey, and that Michael Johnson would be unlucky if he got anything more than a reprimand.

But then again, everyone except the MRP thought that Darren Glass deserved 3 weeks.
