I'd contest it. Show them up for their lack of consistency. 

It's a joke

I agree. I reckon they would at least downgrade it

From what I understand, several "key" people at the MFC are disillusioned by the grading of "intentional" considering the circumstances. Not sure if they'll challenge it, but they'll make their thoughts known, methinks.

 

Wasn't there someone recently who got a blatant hit that was originally graded "intentional" downgraded to "careless" because of the implication that they weren't the sort of player who would hit anyone intentionally and that it was an unfair smear on their character? Nev would have as much grounds as anybody in the AFL for that kind of challenge.

Or is that only valid if you're a Seventh Day Adventist or similar??

Mrp = mystery result protocol 

 


MRP= Melbourne's Ridiculous Penalties

Dunno why Bernie got off and dunno why Jetta didn't.

Jetta ain't an angel.

Been suspended twice I think.

Good week to lose Jetta with Brisbanes non existent forward line.

Hadn't seen the duryea incident until just then. That really is a joke the two incidents are almost identical. They both deserve the same penalty or lack thereof.

Its this year's precedent  for that type of incident come MRP reviews.  Its the reason to contest.

Jetta has accepted.

Proves the clubs have no faith in getting a fair hearing IMO.

Mahoney pretty much said that too when talking about looking at similar past reports.

or maybe given it's only the lions, took advantage of a week for neville to freshen up and come back stronger for the port game


It looked bad. Let's just call it a draw with Vince escaping and only playing Lions.

Jetta gets smacked in the head weekly & can't buy a free kick

Well there you go, Jetta's week was the result of a demarcation issue.

The problem is that you are not allowed to cite other cases/penalties as a precedent when I firmly believe that is exactly what should be quoted to get consistency.

Obviously the AFL have no faith in our legal system if they rule out considering precedents.   Of course allowing precedents would make it harder to adjust decisions on the fly to ensure high-profile players didn't miss finals etc.

i'm quite sure precedents are taken into account by the members of the mrp (and tribunal) when they discuss among themselves a particular case.

as far as the mrp goes the accused is not allowed to cite anything (precedents or otherwise), in fact he or his representative aren't even present

the only chance you get to put up a defence or discussion is if you challenge it and it then goes to the tribunal, but then you have to risk, generally, an extra week, being the "bribe" you could have accepted for keeping your mouth shut and being a good little boy

Precisely DC.  The person who is cited should at least be given a chance to respond to the charge.  Simple procedural fairness.  To impose a sanction, based on some questionable formula is a bad principle to begin with.  At least give the person an initial right of reply.  After all, we are talking about their livelihoods here.

They are given a chance to respond to the charge. By conceding guilt or challenging the verdict. It's the same principle that operates in the adversarial criminal justice system whereby an accused pleading guilty receives a discount on sentencing. To me, it's utter shite - someone is culpable or not. But whereas the criminal justice system probably operates this way on some archaic Abrahamic notion of confession/repentance, the $$$ AFL's MRP does it avoid extra scrutiny/save cash.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
