MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[It Just Is]

There is no way that the tribunal can just dismiss the effect that the Rioli tackle had on this impact. It contributed as much to the outcome as Sam’s actions. The penalty has to take this into account.

This is how it’s worked for a while now. The MRO just ticks boxes and leaves the consideration of external factors to the tribunal. It’s a shit system.

We should be arguing those obvious mitigation.

I am fine with that, as long as the tribunal does its job properly and assesses it for what it is.

Quiet down Brian, or they'll suspend both of them.

I thought it was great, players can walk taller knowing peps is there.

Well when he's there

Suspension and getting his spot back.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's not playing the 1st 6 weeks of the season.

knocked Keane out?

 

[PowerBaz]

As long as the VFL hand out this suspension to a Vic team in the PF we will all be happy.

 

[tribey]

Time to ban the bump then, and every other footy action that can result in a possible concussion. Boxing, MMA, skate boarding, skiing, etc etc should all be outlawed as well.

Yeah I don’t really understand the attitude tbh.

If we’re that concerned about head injuries and future health, so as a guy bracing for unexpected contact in a split second is a hanging offence, just can the sport altogether.

 

[davesnothere]

I’m making a note that every concussion is ‘Severe’ impact this year.

The AFLs legal advice will be there's no such thing as mild concussion.

 

[davesnothere]

Yep, just shows the decision has already been made to hang spp

Absolutely the best outcome will be allowing the Freo trial game to count as a week served.

 

[It Just Is]

I am fine with that, as long as the tribunal does its job properly and assesses it for what it is.

The next bit is the most painful though. The AFL counsel will get on a soap box in front of the tribunal, label Sam a thug and the worst thing to grace a football field since choppy Pickett and call for a public stoning. All in legal pantomime.

 

[Duck Farmer]

I’m sorry, but if the rules state that the bump is legal, then the “ if you elect to bump” bullshit is so AFL amateur hour rule designed to suspend players, when the it’s legal to bump. Just doesn’t make sense. Ban the bump then.

Tend to agree, but it probably introduces more grey areas around what is a bump and what is a natural collision in a body contact sport.

 

[Duck Farmer]

It will. They will suspend both.

 

[Duck Farmer]

I really don't like swots like Whately pontificating over the 'choices' players have when faced with situations that unfold in a fraction of a second.

Whateley should demonstrate his duty of care by ensuring his co-host doesn't turn up to the workplace half cut every night.

 

[chiwigi]

If someone gets injured in a legal tackle that goes wrong…no worries.
If some gets injured in a legal bump that goes wrong….banhammer.

Inconsistent like nearly every rule in the sport.

I’ve got no problem with Sam copping a 2 week suspension. What I don’t like is turning this particular case into something that it’s not just to appease the swarming masses & latest fashionable talking points.

Some of the hyperbole I’ve seen around the traps is wild.

We’re 2-3 years away from Sherrin Gaelic.

Legal tackle?

duursma got injured in a late tackle after he disposed of it v Richmond and Edwards didn’t have to front the tribunal much less cop any flak for it.

Well to be fair, the Crows guy suffered more brain trauma damage from being slammed into the ground on the back of his head, than SPP's shoulder to the front of the jaw.

 

[Portology]

I wish someone would give Whately 4 weeks

Repeat offender, intentional, high severity and high impact.

Give him the whole bloody season off

Anything less than the death penalty will not be enough

 

[Interstater]

As long as there is consistency all year.

Get a Doctor on the stand and ask them to confirm that SPP and not the ground caused the concussion. They couldn’t possibly.

Almost like SPP doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Not bumped would be a start

Get off the armchair mate then you may have a clue

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol who ****ing cares, it's all contrived WWE anyway

Rubbish he'll be straight back in.
