Disgraceful but not unexpected for Golden Boy or this incompetent and inconsistent MRP. He's the new Chris Judd. hits players with impunity.

Selwood escapes sanction

http://www.afl.com.a...20/default.aspx

"The Match Review Panel deemed the impact of the fourth quarter incident was not forceful enough to warrant a charge, after receiving a medical report from the Brisbane Lions."

Contact between the Geelong Cats' Joel Selwood and the Brisbane Lions' Andrew Raines from the fourth quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. The two players are ahead of the ball and running upfield. Selwood makes high contact to Raines with his left hand. After receiving a medical report from the Brisbane Lions Football Club, it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a report. No further action was taken.

Montagna got two for the magner thing. But play on from umpires.

Why did Goddard get off for his mckenzie treatment? Apparently got him in the guts?

Goddard's incident wasn't even assessed

Leigh Montagna, St Kilda, has been charged with a Level Three striking offence against James Magner, Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round Five match between St Kilda and Melbourne, played at the MCG on Saturday April 28, 2012. In summary, due to his previous poor record, his two-match sanction must remain at two matches, even with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of one match suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 10 per cent to 247.50 points. He also has 64.06 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 311.56 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 233.67 points and a two-match sanction.

The Selwood one is inexcusable from the MRP, he throws the first hit and from all angles seems to be as forceful as Raines but because he went down and Raines copped it sweet he gets off. I think he's a brilliant player and has great courage in many ways but it Raines must hit the sweet spot for Selwood to go down like that.

I will say this: Selwood is not responsible for the MRP findings, and they should've recognised Selwood as the instigator and the fact that hit appeared to be as forceful as Raines. You are a dead set joke MRP.

Club a hates club b.

player from club b does something to a player from club a.

Club a report a lot of medical damage.

Player from club b gets a larger penalty.

Anyone else see the hole here?

All I see is massive inept joke of a review system with EXTREME bias towards AFL marketability.

So Selwood will be out there ducking his head into frees once again next weekend..........and remain eligible for the Brownlow.

Mr Dimitriou - you frequently talk of "integrity".......but obviously that does not extend to the MRP....or the "draw", nor ground deals, nor your project clubs. So just where is this mystery "integrity" Andrew?

Add AFL employees leaking confidential information to media as well

To me it looks like both hits were with an open hand. If that's the case then Selwood needs some serious medical tests done. For him to drop like he was being tackled er, I mean, like he was smashed in the head after being [censored] slapped then there must be some ongoing issue with his previous concussions.

I think the MRP is generally better than the previous system - having a systematic way of deciding the penalty is by far preferable. The discount offer removes the farcical tribunal hearings where a player with a black eye says nothing happened. But in this case the MRP have got it seriously, badly wrong by not enforcing their own formula.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
