UnlessI am mistaken, do the AFL not retain the right to challenge the MRP findings if they consider them to be manifestly incorrect ??

Would think Mark Evans would take one look at the incident, one look at the MRP charge sheet, and burst into laughter as he picks up the phone..............

So disappointing.

[spert]

Experienced player should have known better

Just watched it again. Baguley's reaction seemed more spontaneous and genuine that I had thought watching it in slow motion. Probably deserved a week, maybe Milera gets a chance.

[BigMart]

Interesting? This thread, on two counts...

Still

On the actual debate
It is still subjective even with a points system. As soon as you have to grade the force, how do you determine/measure that?

On reaction
What if you hit Joel Selwood compared to Xavier Ellis??

Unexpected vs Expected?

That was a love tap at best... It was no Hall on Maguire... The biggest shame I tribunal history... Alongside Baker on Farmer I suppose?!

If that gets the same penalty as a swinging arm by Thompson with intent to hurt... The game is actually a bigger farce than I even thought

Enjoyed witnessing Sneids back and delivering some cool-headed pieces of play. Just heard he may miss next rd. **** !
but not an injury so regrouping and producing another v. valuable performance is a real possibility in Rd. 7 if not Rd. 6.
I'm loving the blend of senior players really producing quality footy alongside the obvious discipline and belief of our young Sainters.

Saints are just enjoyable to watch and it's great to see the 'old-timers' as Rooey puts it enjoying themselves too.
All the Saints fans l bumped into after the ess. win had a real skip in the stride.

All aboard Sneids Don't miss out !

G O S A I N T S!

Sorry, just realised I didn't quote. Was referring to the Glass incident being a manifestly incorrect outcome.

[ShanghaiSaint]

don't think it was worth a week... from the force barley a free kick... but them's the rules and Adam had carry overs...

[matrix]

good lord a week for that because of carry over points

ok fair enough that it is all there in black and white yadda yadda yadda
but c'mon.
things three times as worse get the same punishment

but yup
complete numpty act
will be spewing and prob so would richo seeing as adam had a great return to the side
need him fit and constantly on the park in the 22, not doing numpty little love taps that get you the same punishment for clothes-lining some bloke.

wonder what hodge will get offered?
wonder how many points he has over his head?

[Cairnsman]

Luke Hodge should get a week then for punching Johnson in the guts.

Yeah it will be interesting to see what that incident attracts from the MRP.

So Hodgy gets off from what looks like similar incidents, not that I get too carried away with tribunal outcomes but I'm just wondering in this instance why the Hodge incident doesn't attract a charge?

[matrix]

prob because he was smart enough to keep hold of stevie j when he tapped him so sj didnt hit the deck.
shouldnt of got cited anyway
nothing in it
crikey tackles are harder than that ffs

Contact between Hawthorn’s Luke Hodge and Geelong’s Steve Johnson from the second quarter of Monday’s match was assessed. The ball has gone out of bounds when Hodge and Johnson come together and Hodge makes contact with Johnson to the stomach. After viewing all the available footage and receiving a medical report from the Geelong Football Club, it was the view of the panel that the force used by Hodge was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

Well there is definitely a punchline, coz' this is a bloody joke.

Contact between Geelong’s Tom Hawkins and Hawthorn’s Will Langford from the third quarter of Monday’s match was assessed. Geelong’s George Horlin-Smith is running with the ball and player Langford turns to chase him. Hawkins attempts to shepherd for his team-mate and makes body contact with Langford. Hawkins has an open hand when the contact is made and it was not a striking action. No further action was taken.

So a swinging arm to the guts is not a striking action?

Yep it looked like it was worth the same as Schneider.
