Buddy lucky. It looked like 2 weeks. Tippett 1 is fine.

The big problems with the MRP come where non malicious acts (see May) get multiple weeks due to a player being injured.

Otherwise taking injury in to account isn't a bad idea and the MRP have got most right so far this year.

thought buddy was lucky

thought it intentional or reckless, not careless

There is no reckless.

In their wisdom the MRP removed negligent and reckless and combined them for careless. So it's now very hard to find the middle ground that the 3 previous categories provided.

I'm p1ssed off only because I'm forced to trade out Lance in my DreanmTeam for one week, therefore getting rid of a trade coming into finals time. Franklin you Pr&$k!

remembering shirtfronts are an illegal tackle

Franklin decision is pizz poor. If his name wasn't Franklin, or if he played for anyone else (apart from the expansion clubs), he would have copped 3.

Too right. And the bigger issue is the fact the because Edwards wasn't concussed he's only got one week. It absolutely shocks me that it requires a player to get concussed for the correct penalty to apply. That had far far more potential to injure than Steven Mays yet he's got a third of the time. The consistency may have improved in the MRP, but it still doesn't mean theyre not consistently rubbish outcomes.

I think the careless grading is in reference to Buddy making contact with Edwards' head. i.e. He may have laid an illegal tackle etc but it was not his intention to make contact with Edwards' head

of course it was intentional. He chose to leave the ball on the ball that he had to run past to go and bump an opponent, it could be nothing than intentional

I'm surprised Franklin and Tippet didn't get off!

Franklin should have got 3 and Tippet 2 but really did anyone expect they'd get that?

Have to agree Dr G. In what parallel universe is Franklin's one week? The normal grading jargon bs is always trotted out but it bares no relation to what we all saw with our own eyes. One week for an intentional shirt front is garbage.

On another note, we haven't had anyone front up to date this year (from memory). Is this unusual and how does it compare to other clubs? - can't be bothered looking it up. Are we soft, lucky, disciplined, been given favourable treatment?

Buddy should have had at least 2...

Tippett could have gone the Merritt defence but after last year & Lewis I think that may have been closed off.

What if Edwards doesn't play this week due to concussion? It is a crazy little system the have in place I thought he was gone for 4ish.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
