In general I would say free kick, nothing more.
In light of what happened last week, and the remarks made by AFL re off the ball instances, Lake needs to be cited and found guilty, 1 week reduced to reprimand.
If the ALF is really serious about behind play niggling, they should introduce a penalty of persistant unsportsmanlike behaviour carrying a 200 point penalty.
That way if players want to do it they know they are going to miss a week, maybe two. It will also relieve pressure on the "umpires should take control" brigade and allow play to flow like it did last friday.

A very large joke known as the MRP continues to grow.
Well done AFL management, you have totally confused players, umpires and supporters with your inconsistent and corrupt ways.

And this is exactly the things that gave me the s***s last week - does anyone know if anywhere in the rules there is a reference to a level of force required to consitute a strike? I seriously doubt that there is and is the re reason that BAker should have gotten off? Whilst they cannot use precedent (convenient for the MRP) they can argue that all case thrown out on the basis of lack of force are arbritary and as such Bakers was of insuffiicient force (it's an arbitrary judgement, impossible for the AFL to have beaten the argument).Sainterman wrote:How funny is that...who knows how they measure force...saintsrus wrote:Officially Lake has no case to answer due in insufficient force

Difference could only be - ACCIDENTAL
as opposed to DELIBERATE as Bakes was .
as opposed to DELIBERATE as Bakes was .
Kyle Cheney, Melbourne, has been charged with a level two striking offence against Brendon Goddard, St Kilda, during the second quarter of the round 14 match between Melbourne and St Kilda, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday July 4, 2010.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a level two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
that a first- even to be looked at?>Contact between Collingwood’s Luke Ball and West Coast’s Beau Wilkes from the third quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. Ball was pursuing the ball after a boundary line throw-in. Wilkes arrives at the contest just before Ball and bends down to gain possession. Ball tries to minimise the impact of the contact and contact is made primarily to the shoulder region of the West Coast player. No further action was taken.

I know the stitch up was (apparently) premeditated, but still this week's MRP findings make our insipid attempt at fighting last week's seem positively childlike.
"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!'
