MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[Grave Danger]

The appeal should take about 30 seconds. Just press play on that video clip and then rest our case.

amended for emphasis

Changing the rules after the season started is hardly a level playing field is it.

Changing the rules after the season started is hardly a level playing field is it.

And conveniently has caught Port out twice now.
Geez I hate this corrupt league.

 

[LFC2010]

If the corrupted AFL had any credibility left, they'll save everyone from attending tomorrow night (or when ever the appeal is) and immediately overturn the suspension handed by flog face Christian 1st thing in the morning, then sack the clown!

 

[TheFVK]

The vendetta by the AFL against SPP is borderline racist.

Doesn't fit their noble savage image of the darker NT indigenous aboriginal they've "rescued", but is a more accurate stereotype of the indigenous Australian with some white lineage and difficult circumstances in a society which typically turns its back.

The manner in which he is guilty before being proven innocent, first in the spurious assault charges and now this, is a disgrace. The AFL don't deserve to have an indigenous round.

 

[VineValerian]

Do you no that's just a good tackle and no malice at all SPP could of killed the campaigner in that if he really wanted to he actually pulled out of it a bit CHALLENGE that sh*t of not sit back and enjoy the VFL

Commentators called it a perfect tackle - hardly "careless".
No "high contact" -SPP grabbed him around the torso and tackled him, his head did not appear to hit the ground, there was no second action in the tackle ie. no sling.
Cannot call it "medium impact" - he got up and took the ruck throw-in.

that the afl never took the media to task for their irresponsible and harmful reporting is disgusting.

Rest SPP next week after the decision is overturned to make a mockery of the system

Meanwhile Jordan De Goey plays a game of football after he's been charged with sexual assault by the police.

Yeah I got the same vibes - if Burgoyne did that exact tackle, he wouldn't be facing a week off. That Burgoyne did a worse tackle, twice, and didn't get suspended just creates a very bad look because it suggests that SPP doesn't fit the idealised mould.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Dylan Shiel who was so badly injured by Hartlett he was reported for engaging in a melee in the second quarter.

Liam Shiels.

Dylan Shiel is the ball butcher that plays for Essendon.

 

[Malibu#27]

Seems they changed the rules after Burgoyne.

Redirect Notice

Yep and Burgoyne got cited a second time and got off with it graded low. Compare it to SPP ....

Yep.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

SPP one week for a tackle Burgoyne nothing cause hawks play unsociable footy brah

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

If we do happen to make a Grand Final, you just know that one of our players will have their hearts broken after getting rubbed out for an incident in the Prelim that will be no worse than Trent Cotchin in 2017.

 

[PAFC66]

****ing laughable..

What the hell what Hartlett meant to do as well?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Liam Shiels.

Dylan Shiel is the ball butcher that plays for Essendon.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson ... Doh!

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Yep.

That too.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I await Tim Kelly getting suspended for his tackle in todays game. Its worse that SPP's one.

 

[RossFC]

Forgive the dodgy screen record but here's the tackle.

That's not even a fine, should be our free kick.

 

[Total Power]

Lol...I wish we could be richmond, riewoldt gets away punching jonas on the groin off contest and Lynch is their love child, but this deserves a suspension? Dangerfields elbow to the head was also a fine only. Corrupt ****wits.

 

[Del165198]

Yeah but he's a true blue blonde Aussie battler type mOiTe!

 

[Capital Power]

Concur with the sentiment. So you'll volunteer to tell him then?

 

[Alberton Proud]

The Shiels one got me going so bad at the game

The VFL tried to stop players going in low and taking out the legs cause it's dangerous

Stand up when going for the ball they said

But it's OK to run around with your head parallel to the ground with an automatic free and potential suspension when you inevitably hit someone

I was ropable then and still am now

Farce

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the MRO matrix which is used to determine a suspension is broken when an incident like this is classed as medium impact over others we have seen this year that are graded as low. Once again the grading is left up to interpretation which opens the door for bias whether conscious or subconscious bias.

There needs to be a clear determination in what is low, medium or high impact so we are removing personal interpretations from the equation.

I would seperate them by something on the lines of;

Low impact: Opposition player does not require medical treatment or time off the ground immediately following the incident (eg not able to compete in the next contest)

Medium impact: Opposition player requires minimal medical treatment or assessment following the incident and is required to leave the playing field for a short period but returns, or does not require medical treatment following the game (if incident occurs towards end of match)

High impact: Opposition player requires immediate medical treatment and does not return to the field of play for the remainder of the match, or requires further medical treatment after the match (again if incident occurs towards end of match this separates from medium impact)

Having a much clearer guideline will help make consistent outcomes which is all we are all asking for.

Further to the above, there needs to be a consideration or grading included for if the incident occurred in play (in an attempt to take possession of the ball or tackle), within reasonable distance of the play (50m) or out of play (beyond 50m). Players which are contesting for the ball should not be penalised for trying to win the ball as harshly compared to players who punch others completely off the ball or not involved in the lead up to the play.

The MRO matrix needs a complete overhaul moving forward after this year for consistency and to remove as much of the human element as possible and remove bias.
