While the adoring Media keep talking/scribing bloody Selwood up as the bravest player to ever pull on the boots he will always be sacrosanct. Would also be good to put in public domain whether or not the MRP get any salary for their efforts or is this honorariums type dedication to their old teams/affiliations?

I loathe Selwood as much as the next guy and maybe my eyes aren't as good as they once were but the vision I've seen on this seems to show his forearm striking Mitchell's back and then sliding up to the back of his head.   I haven't endeavoured to do a frame by frame analysis though.  Did they grade it as high or to the body?

was graded under the star player category - "nothing to see here"

Not sure what the grading was but Scott went as far to say on 360, there is a difference between intentionally throwing an elbow to the back of the head and tripping over a players legs and bracing for the fall as the latter was the case for Selwood.

Laughable!!!

Not that I like that kind of stuff, but Bugg knew exactly what he was doing and sucked Easton Wood into it big time...

Agreed, I don't like seeing it but did laugh when he ran to the top of the square (so he would get an easy shot), then looked over his shoulder waiting for the hit to come. Sneaky little bugger.

I must admit Chris, i thought that moment was not so much as being a pivotal moment, than more as being capitulation by Footscray as being completely done over then. ie beaten

Interestingly the Sunday Sessions podcast for last Sunday where Nathan Burke said about trying to get all players off has not appeared. Wonder if AFL House did not want those statements being able to be heard again. Cat definitely let out of bag.

I still don't understand how the sentence for elbowing someone in the head ( Selwood) or punching someone in the kidneys (Reiwoldt) is exactly the same as for wrestling with someone ( Jetta). i.e $1,000.

Because you didn't factor in the famous player/big club discount.  

The title of this thread is wrong, its not a farce, its a disgrace.

It would be a little bit awkward for Bartel to suspend Selwood then play golf with him during the week.

Rance was found to be staging but not "excessively" staging....what an effing joke

Does "excessive" staging require costumes and make up??

But wait....the incorruptible AFL will now be looking out for a test case, so Demons beware, don't even stage mildly or you will cop a 4 down to 3.

After the remarks on this site, i'm now thinking that there is not much chance of getting a fair deal this Sunday. And i had my hopes set so high for another great win.

The Carlton doctors strike again:

"RICHMOND defender Bachar Houli has been sent straight to the Tribunal for his strike on Carlton's Jed Lamb after the Match Review Panel graded the hit as intentional and high impact...with a medical report from Carlton crucial in the finding against the Tigers defender".

The hit on Lamb looked pretty serious so the MRP probably reached the right decision.

But can't help feel that the Carlton medical reports in this case and those on Hogan and Lewis are sending a message that any opp player that dares touch a blue boy will find themselves out on a limb.

The problem being what exactly? Surely Carlton's obligation is do the right thing by their players, not help out Houli after his thug act. Hogan & Lewis both deserved to be suspended, and Houli deserves a long holiday.

We should demand independent doctors officiate in our next game against Carlton.

IF the MRP / tribunal system was ever going to be at all independent and professional, they would instigate independent medical reports in relevant cases.

SO, won't happen.

I was furious at the time with our penalties, but more because of the fact that the penalty is tied to the consequence and not the action.  However, with time to reflect, footy's got a long tradition of covering up thug acts.  Players saying they were fine, didn't hurt etc with hand on heart, club doctors understating the impact, resulting in light or no penalties.

If club doctors start being honest about the impact of these actions, and it results in players getting harsher penalties (with the AFL's stupid system) it might - *gasp* - make the players think twice before punching each other in the head.
