I gave up long ago trying to work out the MRP and its disgraceful bias. But this is [censored] outrageous.

The more I watch it the worse it gets.

Jones actually changes direction at the last moment to bump Hannan.

The point is, if Vince gets done for his bump (the Betts elbow is another matter) we should contest based on the Jones case.

Posted (edited)

It's official, Vince got two games for his elbow on Betts and a fine for his bump. It must be noted that Zak Jones did not receive a fine for his bump.

Oh, and Dustin Martin got off because the MRP said it was an "open hand".

Appeal Appeal Appeal. Just bring up Schofield as precedent, they clearly authorised slight elbows to the head all of two weeks ago. This was on a par with Schofield to me, more contact but equally as severe (as in not very)

Yep. Nothing to lose by appealing. 

Schofield got 2 down to 1 originally too

I guess his bad record went against him, and the trial by media doesn't help you can tell by Monday morning who will be suspended or not, MRP Just reads the paper and decides

So Vince gets two seperate penalties for two offences. Suspension and a fine.

Whereas Dusty who is already sitting on one fine, get a single fine for the two offences, cause giving him separate fines = 3 for season = suspension.

Never seen such a concerted effort to make sure they didn't have any film on Martin punching that bloke from Brisbane. Reckon put the money on now, he's a moral (poor choice of word) The Media are bigger yellow maggots than the yellow maggots .

Just appeal, MFC, nothing to lose. If Bernie cops an extra week, so be it, but surely we can site the Schofield precedent??!!

If that's true, I must revise my accusation that the MRP is insane.  It is totally corrupt.  The AFL sickens me.  Let me count the ways...

AFL report actually states 3 down to 2 with a guilty plea. Original 2 game ban plus 1 for bad record, can except 2 with early plea. Not sure we appeal.

2 weeks .. take it and move on

Port game is almost a certain loss ... he will be missed against North at iceberg Park but at least back for a tilt at the Giants in the Nation's Capitol !!

It would be pretty hard to argue that his elbow was "insufficient force".

Just a dumb thing to do.

Why? Thats what Schofield argued isnt it??

on that logic, may as well appeal and have him rubbed out for all 3.

Totally corrupt or in with the bookies? Interesting that Martins brownlow odds didnt change between the incident and the MRP report isnt it? Youd think with a risk of suspension hanging over his head they might be suspended at least. If this was a cricket match, they'd be in jail.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
