Melbourne at the tribunal/MRP 2018

[Sir Why You Little 37,163]

This MRP situation is seriously ruining the game

there is nothing there. If that is reportable, then 200 players will be up on charges each week

Pathetic...absolutely Pathetic....

Please tell me that's not it. FMD. That would happen 10 times a game.

I love it!   (umpires don't)

Yep, feisty but fairy 'Nuff. He responds (after displaying excellent tolerance on multiple occasions) to those physical contacts such as knees in the jewels, knees and elbows at his head once he is brought to the ground in a tackle or impasse, and backhanders or elbows to the face as he is winning the ball. We have all seen these occurrences. In reality, he just picks up those things that the umpires '...fail to see, notice or penalise...' as the written rules state that they should. This umpire behaviour is endemic and is an act of convenience operating against 'lesser' teams for the sake of others' recoveries of their game.

i can't believe it wasn't appealed

absolutely nothing in it

sets a terrible precedent for the season if not contested

I think that's the point. They are saying this unneeded punches are not needed in the game.

I will be ok with it as long as everything else is judged the same in the future. 

So... how much did Majak get for retaliation? 

What? Nothing? FMD.

[Call Me What You Will 751]

My God! Just seen the video. Surely the AFL have not gone this low. Nothing to do with Clarrie, but fair dinkim. Will wait with baited breath when, Cotchin, Danger et al brush off taggers like that. 

The AFL are a joke. 

For the good of the game, we must use our 1 DRS and go upstairs on this one.

 

 

 

[Earl Hood 6,101]

So what happens in round 1 when we watch the pre-game routine of players bouncing off each other in the usual show of strength and aggression just before the bounce? Will they all be pinged $1500? The AFL will make a fortune, clawing back thousands from their employees, maybe no different than Caltex or 711 fleecing their own employees I suppose. But we know it won’t happen come round 1 

and does anyone have any idea on the medical report from Norf that seems to have been a factor in this rediculous decision? Not sure what injury you sustain from an open handed slap to the stomach.

More information from here: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-02-26/match-review-jlt-community-series-round-one

Clayton Oliver, Melbourne, has been charged with misconduct against Ben Jacobs, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of Saturday’s JLT match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at Hobart on Saturday February 24, 2018.

In summary, he can accept a $1500 sanction without appearing before the Tribunal.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as misconduct. A first offence for misconduct draws a $2500 sanction at the discretion of the Match Review Officer. The player can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.

Here we go again one rule for "Elitist" clubs that make a lot of noise another for the rest which includes us.

Sheeit very little in it Typical Sanctimonious tossers at AFL 

We have more sanitation that at a Fat Rats clacker party for incontinence.

We cannot win. Stuff the AFL and there triple standards.

Shhheeeeit I am ropeable!

[picket fence 17,546]

Just watching it again Really I mean Really?? Sheeit this is absolute Caaaaaarp. 

I'm more than Ropeable!! this is just Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh    Eragghhhhhhh     Grrrrrrrrrrrrraannnhauh!! 

[Call Me What You Will 751]

Surely we call the clowns and AFL out on this one. Is it $1500 vs $2500 or have I missed something? We must appeal, for the sake of the game and the down trodden “non elite” clubs.

I wouldn’t say Dusty is a ‘feisty little mongrel’.. he’s brutal, imposing and sublime.  Doesn’t seem to give a lot of yap out on the field at all.

Doesnt really matter anyway- I made the comment before the footage was released.  Clarry’s indiscretion was not feisty, full of mongrel, brutal, imposing or sublime... it was nothing.

[Willmoy1947 4,144]

Trying to get him sucked in early in the season, so as he won't win the Brownlow. The media will know what to do with this.

Err.....................

And North put in a medical report. What bulltish. Comical behaviour by North and the AFL. Bloody hell.

I guess we should be happy that Carlscum’s doctor didn’t transfer to Norf in the off season ..... Clarry would have been rubbed out fir the season.

Must be the wrong video.... That is unbelievable, my five year old daughter hits harder than that. 

Agree. Absolutely zero nothing in that at all.

Christian is keeping up (or rather down) the reputation of his predecessors at the MRP.

this is a joke

[Males 578]

I think it's a joke to get fined for that, but in saying that, I believe it was a closed fist he used. The issue of Jacobs pushing him in the back first doesn't obviously matter to the AFL.

Now the AFL has to show itself to be consistent for this sort of "incident". Considering the amount of little jabs in the side and back that taggers use, I'm expecting the AFL to register their biggest profit at the end of the season. ???

You believe it was a closed fist....on what basis .... on that clip???

Who was the scumbag who did Bernie Vince last year and wasn’t penalized a penny?

I wait, with no real anticipation, Michael Christian applying his high moral standards with consistency and without bias during the remainder of his reign.

Are you all serious?

have you not seen the end of Kill Bill? That was a 5 point palm exploding heart technique. Jacobs actually died after the next 5 steps. 

$1500 is a bargain.

Agree!

Clarries hands are such a weapon that they must be restrained.

Lucky that MC was able to recognise the potential harm such brutality can inflict.

Number 5 For North was obviously instantly delirious and the umpires were so affected by shock to become oblivious to the impact.

This type of action must not be allowed to increase and result in Melbourne players actually believing they can replicate other more deserving teams.

I want an enquiry into why MC hates the MFC so much!!
