MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[bomberclifford]

Burton has accepted the charge. Such a weak response.

Gotta keep hold of the monies so Kochie can point at the black on the annual report.

 

[Del165198]

Lol of course we just bend over and cop it. "High" impact for a player that was fine almost immediately after lol. Just another disgrace from this joke league and joke club.

 

[JimmyBC]

Repeat after me as we gather & sing roll over roll over

 

[Black 18]

I'm sure Koch & Hinkley are nothing but AFL people who have no actual interest in us being anything other than a nice, quiet, agreeable, fund raisers for the mighty Victorian Clubs. Hinkley doesn't even care anymore judging by his pressers, just goes through the motions.

Surely you had to appeal that? Even arguing the grading to hopefully get in down from 2 to 1.

My god we are such a weak, nothing club at the moment.

Is it any wonder why we regularly get weak performances from our side when our whole leadership seem to live by that.

Just more disappointment to add to the ever increasing list.

 

[Mutha F]

Weak as piss response from a weak as piss club

 

[Portwon]

Chance of success is slim but absolutely weak as piss.Weak.As.Piss.

And we wait three or four weeks until it changes or it happens to a big name...

 

[Grave Danger]

The club had to appeal the sentence, if only to point out the absurdity of it being the same as the Pickett assault on Sniff a mere week ago.

 

[MrMeaner]

We are meek

 

[Doctor Feel]

Could have argued they agree that it was worth a sanction, but not two weeks.

 

[TeeKray]

Meh. It was a dumb tackle. Just don't do it and then you won't have to worry about how the MRO grades it or whether the club appeals it or not.

 

[RossFC]

Burton lost the plot that game. Really disappointing after such a strong performance the week before.

They wouldn't want to spend the money.

That incident on the wing where he just stoped and looked at the ump because he thought the ball went out to just allow Daicos to jun off with the ball was pathetic.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's a smart move, there is no way in hell we were winning that challenge. They'd argue potential to cause injury then award themselves the win.

In the context of the recent protect-the-head MRP rulings its absolute horseshit, but only in that context.

[240volt]

They wouldn't want to spend the money.

Maybe they can’t afford it might need to start chock raffles at halftime.

 

[Rendaw]

Dont try, just bend over. That's the Port mantra

 

[El_Scorcho]

It's frustrating but there was absolutely no point arguing this. 0% chance of having it overturned.

A better option would literally be Koch mouthing off on sunrise about the disparity in MRP determinations and to cop the fine that way.

4 matches for Broad... chances of Burton getting a reduced penalty pretty much zip.

I reckon the Crows knew that there was zero chance the McAdam decision would be overturned too, but they still publicly backed in their player and gave it a crack. At Port, we just give up when it gets hard. The $10k would have been worth it for player morale.

I bet that when Ryan comes back, he comes back listless. The club didn't back him, why should he be excited to represent the club? Why should he put his body on the line for a club that wouldn't put $10k on the line for him?

 

[Dutchy5150]

The AFL was never going to reverse it. Would of been a huge waste of time and money.

There are better ways to support Burton than setting $10k on fire for him. I assume the decision was made in consultation with him. We haven't had issues recently with players failing to put their bodies on the like and I don't think that will suddenly start happening.

What would be smart would be getting our media mouthpieces to slam the inconsistency of the MRP, and talk about how the MRP grading isn't in line with recent incidents but we had no recourse because of the fact that they don't take into account precedence.

If the AFL were so concerned about mitigating the effects of head injuries why aren’t they mandating protective head coverings for all players?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not an advocate of such a blanket policy approach but it does make you wonder.

probably because head coverings do nothing to prevent concussions
