If the tribunal had've dealt with Scarlett over the years this would be viewed as a Baker type incident.
However because he has been treated so leniently in the past this he is now a relative cleanskin and this will now become something unworthy of further investigation

Nothing would surprise me with regards to MRP process spacey. I get what your saying but this is week 1 so who knows what the flavour is going to be this year.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
scarlett has nothing to answer for, wasnt head high, yet steven baker you shall receive 2 weeks for being on the ground at the time of the so called incident...i hope you have learnt your lesson.
Baker will go for ten for using his magical powers to direct Selwood's head into Ray's hip. He may get off for doing something similar at the Gabba yesterday re Jon Brown but the MRP are likely to be at least a little bit lenient on the grounds that Bakes wasn't in Queensland at the time. Still, it's the MRP. Never be surprised.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

if baker can get two weeks for cracking someone on the hand because its injured then thats worth 12 ffs.
afl said they want to stamp out unsportsman like acts....so lets see them keep enforcing what baker was used as a patsy for.
If I remember correctly, Fraser got a week for his wack to the guts of Jason Cloke.I also have a feeling that he beat it on appeal
Media pressure is building for the MRP to look at the Scarlett/Roo incident. We'll just wait & see !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
Wasn't Scarlett one week away from having his carry forward points reduced or nullified? That would be KARMA bigtime if he went for weeks.
To say it was a 'Dog Act' is placing way too much emphasis on the fact these Acts are isolated incidents. As outlined, Scarlo has history. IMHO just 'Dog' suits the situation!

Fraser initially got three for that love tap on Cloke but it was reduced to 1 on appeal.

Nope, it was round 6 in 2005 and he actually got two weeks from the MRP, which was challenged at the Tribunal who still gave him a week by varying the points. 2005 was the first year of the MRP and they later said that they got that one wrong, but because it was a St Kilda player, it didn't matter.
2005 was also the year when we could so easily have won the flag, and when Collingwood finished second last because they were unable to kick the ball to teammates. But that's another story.
