    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!

    ok, intentional then

    remembering shirtfronts are an illegal tackle

    I would have too. Because he didnt do anything.

    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'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?

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    Why is anyone surprised? The superstar discount is always factored into suspensions.

    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

    Hopefully Stefan Martin appeals and gets three.

    Why?

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
