    at least with Busse, you pretty much knew what you were going to get. the current generation of players get off lightly by comparison.

    They need to hire actual legal experts who have some vague notion of how to apply precedents and evidentiary standards.  Preferably people with absolutely no connection to any club.  That way we may actually see consistent and unbiased decisions.

    If appropriate penalties were applied for disgraceful acts, then there would be sufficient deterrent to reduce the number of cases coming before the MRP / tribunal.

    Allowing players to get away with a week's holiday for punching an opponent in the head is why there are so many cases to review, and hence the opportunity is there for inconsistency. Provide proper deterrents, and the number of cases to review will drop markedly.

    Ultimately I don't care who is on the MRP, if they are capable of making fair, rational decisions. However I doubt that Michael Christian is the answer given his history. I would like to know what made him the best person for the job.

    I'm not sure what history you are referring to. But one thing will become obvious - he's going to have to have a thick skin. I would expect that he knows that and, in itself, having someone who knows he's going to be criticised but is still prepared to take on the responsibility may not necessarily be a bad thing.

    I suspect differentiating between what is reckless and what is deliberate is the hardest part. The impact and location should be fairly easy to adjudicate. Panel or no panel doesn't matter if there is consistency.

    Correct. With the recently adopted 'head protection rule', it was clear - whether deliberate or not - that contact to the head was to be penalised, instantly. We then had a situation where the players, themselves, worked out that by 'ducking' and 'craning, at times', head contact could be enabled and made look terribly serious when it was not. Certain Port Adelaide 'stars' initiated this rule bending to good effect. I just wonder what 'reckless' and 'deliberate' might mean. Soon, we will have a legalised 'scrum' as seen in rugby ...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
