MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[DazzaTys]

Did we honestly expect anything different. Somehow we didn’t get f$$ked by the umpires but they’ll still find another way. Club needs to appeal it. The MRO is a joke

Tackle received both a free kick, and a suspension??? Shit's ****ed. AfL is a rabble.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Have to say, when Mcdonald was on the ground whinging about it I was very surprised they didn't call it a sling tackle/dangerous tackle.

What chances this being even looked at if not for McDonalds reaction.

Zero I'd say.

Driving your head towards the ground in a tackle is the new dropping the knees/raising the chicken wing to make the tackle go high.

Appeal that. Not even a reportable tackle and even if it is how can you justify that being medium impact. Wtf is low impact then? A kiss on the cheek?

That’d be high emotional impact

Once again the AFL manage to encourage players trying to get hit in the head.

It's Tom Jonas. Why bother.

Because there will come a time and a player when it does matter. A lot?

And us as a footy club sending a message on a principle of what and what is not an acceptable standard for suspending players is important for when that time comes.

It tells our playing group we have their back if they go hard at the ball within the rules.

Unless the club thinks the MRO got it right, of course.

I raise you Kane Cornes on Sam Mitchell lol

Kane Cornes got a week down to a fine for some Richmond nuffy running into him back in the day. Was the reason I joined BF on my 1st account. I wanted to whinge about it and found my people.

Agreed, needs to be challenged on principle alone because if left, then we are likely to cop one of these in a final with a critical player.

I’m all for Jonas being suspended but I reckon the MRO could have found 1 or 2 more worthy incidents if they wanted. Baffling.

Probably should have got one for bashing zurhaar last week, so they plucked a BS one instead lol

He'll get off that.
His arms were free and he didn't drive him into the ground nor was there a slinging action.

The umpire is 1 metre away and paid holding the ball? If it's a suspension than I'd expect that umpire to also be called out and dropped for a incorrect decision?

The games broken.

 

[PAFC66]

Viney could've been fined for the unnecessary cheap shot on Boak.

That was 100 times worse than the football act from Jonas... But hey they only give a shit about the head .. internal bleeding is fine.

Lol these gradings must be done by lucky dip. Seriously how the f@&k does Hunter get graded Medium for a shirtfront while Rioli gets graded Severe for a trailing arm? It’s bonkers.

Kidney awareness next up, maybe in a few decades after a few law suits

Basically all comes down to the result / injury.

We cannot accept this as a club. It's just such a bafflingly poor decision. Nobody would believe a recognisable player from a major Vic club would lose a game over this

 

[yepits2020]

Most ridiculous suspension ever

I’d prefer Jonas to not be in the team tbh
