jnrmac 20,377 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Can someone please tell me why that weed Hayden Ballantyne was not suspended for the blatant and deliberate trip that cost the Dogs an almost certain goal?? It wasn't even a 50m penalty. This was supposed to be an automatic report?? it wasn't even looked at by the MRP!!!!! As if we didn't know the MRP was completely trucked. This confirms it yet again.

Also, watch the attempted mark by Yarran in the last line of defence against Brisbane and as he is coming down note that J Brown grabs his feet forcing him to drop the ball and Brisbane score a goal from it. Should have been a mark or free to Yarran and Brown should be suspended.
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 The yarren one was a shocker lost Carlton the game.
monoccular 17,760 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Tripping by hand at one stage was reportable AND incurred a 50 m penalty but, as is their predilection, the Rules Committee needed to add to their annual rule change list some time back, as to justify their very existence, , and I believe both penalties were dropped.

Maybe the MRP take into account that Brown has broken just about every bone in his head and have a "not quite there" dispensation they invoke for such occasions.

Should have been a mark or free to Yarran and Brown should be suspended. I watched this incident a few times and in Brown's defense Yarran came accross the front of the pack, Brown closed his eyes as he would have anticipated an impact, and Yarran's boots came perfectly in his hands - instinct took care of the rest. Not reportable, but Yarran should have been paid the mark or been given a free.

Should have used the Shower Scene from Psycho version... a kind of "stay away from the brown acid" cut.
Chook 15,070 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Also, what about the kicking in danger rule? Does that not exist anymore?
nutbean 8,838 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Was I the only one to pick up the trip by hand on Nathan Jones that resulted in him stumbling and fumbling and Robbie Gray picking up the ball and kicking a goal in the 3rd quarter ?

Not doubting you but anyone know if this is right?
Crompton's the man 660 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Geoff Shaw to be President of the MRP following his expulsion from Parliament Consistency to be the hallmark of the new regime under his leadership

jnrmac 20,377 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 AFL RULES OF THE GAME 19.2.2 Specific Offences Any of the following types of conduct is a Reportable Offence: (g) intentionally, recklessly or negligently: (i) kicking another person; (ii) striking another person; (iii) tripping another person whether by hand, arm, foot or leg These are the rules in black and white. So Mono it should definitely have been looked at. It wasn't. Why? Ballantyne is a dirtbag. Can't see why he would be protected over this. He definitely made a lunge to trip. I swore I would not get angry with MRP decisions as they are so pathetic in their inconsistency but this is beyond a joke.

Should have been a mark or free to Yarran and Brown should be suspended. Yes,this was a free kick and on the replay you could see from the camera view over the umpires shoulder Very poor and should be questioned by umps panel about this,as he was staring straight at the incident. Absolutely. And I can't stop smiling. Smile you might,but remember it may happen to us one day and there will be another 1,000 pages on a thread about us being ripped off, AFL RULES OF THE GAME 19.2.2 Specific Offences Any of the following types of conduct is a Reportable Offence: (g) intentionally, recklessly or negligently: (i) kicking another person; (ii) striking another person; (iii) tripping another person whether by hand, arm, foot or leg Asked the local league umpire down the road about this jnr. He said at local level kicking in danger only brings a report or free if there is injury. Tripping is a free kick and a report if injury. He also said he thought the AFL had the same.
jnrmac 20,377 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Time wasting is a 50m penalty as is stepping over the mark or laying a finger on a payer after he has marked it. This act was worse than all of thise and cost the dogs a much needed goal. And it wasn't even looked at by the MRP. I suggest melb players go out and trip everyone this weekend as its clearly acceptable to stop play. Free kick only.

I swore I would not get angry with MRP decisions as they are so pathetic in their inconsistency but this is beyond a joke. Thank you for clarifying that. We see trips almost every week, often intentional, if not reckless or negligent (there would appear to me no way to trip anyone other than by one of those three categories) yet IIRC there have been no reports this year. Yet the pathetic MRP "looks at" and often charges guys whose only intent is what surely must and should be the principal object of our game, getting their hands on the ball, who happen to collide with the head an opponent who in many cases has himself made a reckless low charge at the ball. No balance whatsoever. No common sense whatsoever. No consistency (or maybe just the consistency of those things one may unfortunately, perhaps even negligently or recklessly, step on in a cow paddock). And as a result of their consistent inconsistency, one may reasonably have doubts on their impartiality. Often reactionary. PS: Watch out in the forthcoming round for a spate or MRP referrals for tripping by hand.
sue 9,277 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Agree with all that monocular except you seem to rule out the possibility of unintentional, non-reckless trips which are just a free kick, not reportable. These happen occasionally and are sometimes penalised.
