Anyone want to have stab at explaining why Dale Thomas wasn't even sighted by the MRP for his jumper punch Friday night against Port?
I know it's too much to expect consistency, but am I not right in saying that AA and the umpiring fraternity pledged to crack down on off the ball incidents?
From my armchair, Thomas' hit seemed to have the same force, the same outcome, and the same intent of Baker's hit on Johnson. This time... no comment!

Re: Dale Thomas' jumper punch
Saw it exactly the same, and thought he should have been cited and expected he'd get a week, which would be downgraded. But nothing demonstrated the consistent inequities that exist every week.LoeweBrow wrote:Anyone want to have stab at explaining why Dale Thomas wasn't even sighted by the MRP for his jumper punch Friday night against Port?

Ordinary football fans are contributing hundreds of millions of dollars a year to this competition in memberships, seating, food and beverages, merchandise and additional events. The least I expect is that when I turn up to watch a match, holding the ball means the same thing it did last week, a mark that is only controlled once the player crosses the boundary line is still "out of bounds", and an infringement against another player is policed equally for all.
How is it possible to make an example of S.Baker, and then seemingly ignore identical acts?

The most stupid rule of all time, "the no such thing as precedents rule" has made them unaccountable and it shows with their weekly lucky dip decisions.
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

One of last years 'best' inconsistant MRP clangers came whilst he was on the panel, in the form of Dawson's suspension.bozza1980 wrote:You are right, it's just another example of their horrible inconsistency.saint66au wrote:So when Stewie Loewe was on the MRP?? ...oh thats right only ex players from other clubs are corrupt and could conspire to get their own teams players offstinger wrote:look who's on the match review panel......an ex filth player......an uncle of a current filth player ...and an ex tiger....might provide some answers....

Got a twitter the other day from Bakes...
, saying he was having lunch with his old mate 'Buckets'...
I wonder if Stewie should now disqualify himself from future Match Review Panels, for consorting with 'known offenders'?

What are you on. Peter Carey has nothing at all to do with the Cloke family. Does sound good but completely wrong. I was wondering what you have been on about for the last few days.

Travis Cloke's uncle is a former umpire but his name is Peter Cameron.
I like your comment that you know the family. I suppose if you do know the family and we believe that we will also believe you are a lawyer and have been on the AFL tribunal. If we dont believe any of it which sounds likely considering you dont know it was Cameron then why would we believe anything else you type. I will stick with the cleaner.
