King accepts MRP Finding !!
Steven King has accepted the 4 week penalty handed down by the Match Review Panel.
Politically, this was the correct thing to do !!

Welcome to two hours ago.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Pragmatically this was also the correct thing to do.
We can carry on about equity and fairness (and 2007, when we weren't flag contenders, was the time to make a fuss and challenge the Baker decision).
But there was little chance of the penalty being reduced, and we are copping the other end of the stick because we all carried on about the Clarke/West incident last year.
Well, the AFL listened to us and unfortunately our bloke was the next one to do the same thing.
Keep focused on the footy Saints, and the four weeks will go by quickly.

as much as we dont like it and we dont like the four weeks in reality we dont lose much:-
big mac is HUGE for us and with gardo back we dont lose anything at all in reality.

Re: King accepts MRP Finding !!
We will be in a better position in four weeks to judge "reality". Three losses, or an injury or two to a couple of big blokes might make those who seem pretty sanguine about King's treatment realise that bad decisions almost always have bad consequences.Loyal wrote:...we dont lose anything at all in reality.

i dont know, you're right, but i reckon this is a bit of a blessing in disguise. benny is doing beautifully i reckon. he's huge and so is gardo.perfectionist wrote:We will be in a better position in four weeks to judge "reality".

an injury would be problematic but yeah i reckon this is just lovely for benny. he is dominating. more gametime into him is great for finals to have that third reliable ruckman on standby.

Premature adjudication I feel. Just a bit of by play between supporters. I think some people were missing the humour gene today when they replied to the opening few posts!Launcestonsaint wrote:Several posts moved to rubbish bin as they had nothing to do with this thread.
Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.

Robbo (more like Yobbo)really stuck the boots in as did other well known jouro's . It was probably reckless but 6 weeks was a joke.As I said on another post dont be suprised its St.Kilda & the almighty make their own rules as it suits them.
Re: King accepts MRP Finding !!
He actually got 5 weeks and if he had a good record it would have been reduced to to 3 weeks. It had nothing to do with the media. He ran into a player who was minding his own business and knocked him out. The more I see it the worse it looks.saintly_safes wrote:Totally agree was hung drawn & quartered before he even got to the mrp.bergsone wrote:Was that Match Review Panel or Match Media Panel?

The more I see it the more I can't see how he got more than 2.
If a team comes out to rough another team up, then they better be ready for some heat coming back.
King was unlucky that's all...
good point Mav.
it was just disgraceful from north.
and to make matters worse the muppets in the media reckon we should introduce substitutions:
please, you name your 22
if your 22 aren't tough enough then your 22 aren't tough enough.
great effort from kingy, and a great effort from gardo the week before - doing the team thing.
and they praise laidley for being a great coach when we were always, ALWAYS going to run over the top of them.
CJ running wells into the ground.
substitutions, i mean geezuz bloody karyst. harden up north FFS!
