Player Watch Willie Rioli

Basically to ensure no accountability and full ability to manipulate outcomes to suit agenda.

I like my method better.

Try it, it’s interactive.

1 week suspension

 

[manureid]

1 week suspension

Best result we could have hoped for

 

[Hot Port]

One game ban. Confirmed

 

[Janey]

Two was ridiculous, one the best we could hope for.

 

[Festerz]

Best result we could have hoped for

Nope.

Best result we all hoped for was a fine, given results earlier this year for similar actions.

But downgrading the penalty to one week based on low impact rather than medium impact is what we will accept as fair.

AFL counsel arguing tonight that slap had the potential to cause a broken jaw is a double down on their idiocy.

That he is free to play against Geelong is a just outcome. My anger at Murphy for flopping remains.

[Ford Fairlane]

Now that's a dog act. Boom tish.

 

[OneGreatClub]

1 week suspension

Common sense prevails

 

[Interstater]

I still want to know why it was not even mentioned by the commentators at the time (at the 16:10 minute mark of the 4th), but was then shown at approx 14:40 with a full script ready to go.

Is there any footage of what was thrown at the TV in Toorak?

 

[manureid]

Nope.

The afl were never letting him off without some sort of suspension. So, 1 week was the best we were ever going to get.

Although I still think if Murphy doesn't flop, playing for a free (which he totally deserved, and I have no problem with him playing for), then he probably doesnt cop a game.

I can at least live with 1. A far more sensible result, than the ridiculous 2.

Its still frustrating to me though that in game we will call that a player ducked or faked it. Yet when there is clear video evidence that the slap was miniscule and it was a clear play for a free, that we aren't honest with that and call it what it was.

Ah well, hopefully we beat the Crows and stay injury free, ready for a huge tilt at Geelong.

Why is a "low impact" hit something that requires a punishment anyway, and where do you draw the line?

Such a strange sport this is. You can open hand slap someone on the ear and get banned for a week, but jumping into the middle of someone's back, causing actual harm with your knee is just part of the game.

 

[Capital Power]

As good as Port could have expected. We aren't Collingwood or Richmond you know...

If we can't beat the Crows without Willie then we have bigger problems than his week off.

There was brief mention of the medical report on Murphy, no bruising, no attention required at the time of the incident, no effect on his ability to play out the game. It was a dive, pure and simple but no-one in the media will just come out and say it.I agree, a fine was all it deserved, and if it was Daicos with the Brownlow at risk, that’s all it would have got.

 

[Incarnate]

I have to say that I think Murphy flopped like biatch and deserved his own reprimand for wasting peoples time but any strike to the head in any form should hold some form of mandatory minimum suspension.
Come at me!

 

[Interstater]

Will be having a close look at this Friday night's game.

Does anyone have Michael Christians number, I'll let him know if I determine anything looks dangerous?

My favourite comment came from twitter where the poster ended it with "#voteno". Can't find it again tho.

 

[Harlott]

What are Michael Christian’s credentials for his role?

 

[RossFC]

Good challenge by the club, 1 game is fair.
