This is a joke.

 

firstly, I assumed Rioli got a fine for the tackle, but no nothing there, instead a fine for a perfect bump to the body.

 

secondly, Sicily was deemed as medium impact. Are they joking.

 

third, Mitchell was said to have made a pushing action, not a striking action. Now I know they are taking the p155. All 3 decisions farcical IMO

[jnrmac 20,310]

I have Cyril is lined up when next we play them, and mitchell, and Gibson, and Sicily, and .........

Why would anyone be surprised by the MRP...

Oh, I am not surprised at all.

 

TBH I would have been fine if Mitchell got off, or only copped a fine, as it really was quite minor, but to say it was a pushing action and not a striking motion is just ludicrous

[93dee 104]

I kinda think that Riolis bump was a good one. 

It was damn close to being dangerous but just got him low enough. 

Mitchell getting off is an absolute joke though.... open hand?!?!?!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,074]

The Hawthorn supporter sitting behind me on Saturday will be very pleased. He wants Sicily out of the team.

I think Cyrils is about right, it was reckless but he pulled it off, just. To say Mitchells was a pushing motion in hilarious. I bet Tom Hawkins is really happy with that interpretation!

Not surprised there was no mention of the spear tackle either.

Cyril can accept $1,000 for rough contact

Sicily, 1 week

 

Random thought 4

Yet no free paid in either situation. Go figure.

Mitchell, cleared.

Mitchell lucky considering Hawkins went 2 down to 1, for equal or less!

I look at those names and have to feel for Sicily, If only he had a differnt name he would have gotten off. Maybe he should consider changing his name to James Hodge, James Rioli or James Mitchell just to ensure this doesnt happen again

Sicily deserves the week.  Rioli I thought is stiff, that was a great bump. 

Mitchell should have been cleared.  He slaps his at most afterwatts grabs hiya face. Nothing in it.

Sicily and Mitchell correct - I give up with Rioli decision. Its either high and he gets rubbed out or, as they deemed it to be the body he gets off - so now players get a fine for hitting a player with a legitimate bump ?????

The bump is well and truly dead - as much as i hate to say it - if i was the Hawks i would appeal the Rioli decision - once they deemed it "not the head"  - he should have been cleared.

It is not  decisions that are wrong in the last two  - it is how they are worded.

The Rioli decision is plain wrong - or they have just changed the rules on bumping without telling anyone... no head no fine...

[old55 23,848]

I'm really looking forward to Cyril playing in a struggling Hawthorn team when Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne and Gibson all retire at once.  It's just not possible to replace that much class.  Cyril and Lewis trying to carry the can.  I think we'll see some frustration.

[Seraph 1,824]

They graded the Rioli hit as to the head but low impact? 

If that's the case then Rioli is lucky Oliver is as tough as anything otherwise he'd be facing weeks.

no - they graded it to low impact to the body which makes it more ridiculous.

It was high impact but it was to the body-  still trying to figure out how he could get fined for it.

If it was the head he would of ( make that should of ) got weeks.

Directly from the MRP statement:

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with low impact to the head. The incident was classified as a $1500 sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1000 sanction.

All bias aside, does Rioli deserve weeks? I thought there was some head contact, he left the ground and went past the ball to bump.

What about Mitchell? Punched Watts in the face. Obviously hits like a little schoolgirl.

Is anyone really surprised?

[Biffen 12,949]

They are the little darlings of the AFL. Mark Jackson was on the money about that.

Go to VFL park.Yes

Go to Tas.Yes

Invest in Pokies.Yes

Do what we say and we'll look after you.Ok

I'm tired of their slurping ways and their false family club image.

Hope they get slapped around heavily.

We made them look old and slow-hope the other teams can wipe them out for 2016.

[mrtwister 652]

All I see in the replay is Oliver's head fling backwards. Not sure how that happens without contact to the head.

They cant even get the reporting right !!!

Charges Laid:

Cyril Rioli, Hawthorn, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round 20 match between Hawthorn and Melbourne, played at the MCG on Saturday August 6, 2016.

In summary, he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

How bizarre is that !!

I am tipping it has to be the one that says head - or he would have ( should have) got weeks.

But if it is a bump to the body i am trying to figure out why he got fined at all !

To me it was 3 weeks or nothing - bizarre ! ( either way it is wrong)

okay - now it says head - YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!!!!! How can you get a reprimand for that !!!!!!!!!! If he choose to bump and hit the head it has to be weeks. I don't give a rats the Clarrie got straight up ( i do actually). How about you smash someone in the face with a fist and if they dont stay down you claim "insufficient impact". The MRP is a joke of the highest order.
