    Unfortunately Clarry has become the first victim of the new MRP, MC if you like, cracking down on the jumper/gut punch. It appears that force plays a part only in the severity of the penalty. Love taps obviously fall into the fine category. 

    Having said that I'm sure that some AFL favourites will get off scott free. *cough* Dusty *cough*

    i can't believe it wasn't appealed

    absolutely nothing in it

    sets a terrible precedent for the season if not contested

    dc, I think the club is trying to teach players to be disciplined and take responsibility for their behaviours so they won't appeal this and unless there is a lot at stake (eg key player missing finals) they won't appeal future decisions. 

    It is a fair position by the club but I also think there are times when we should stand up for our players.  

     

     

    What annoys me is the MRP has not stated what the 'incident' was so if it was a punch or a strike why not say so?  If this fine is intended to deter others, it won't happen if the MRP doesn't say what the errant behaviour was.  Crikey, the umpire was right there - I wonder what he had to say to the MRP?  Poor performance by MRP on all fronts

    Does anyone know if the 'accussed' or their club can view the other club's medical report or submit info to the MRP before the decision is handed down? 

    It seems not and their only course is to appeal the decision and risk a higher penalty...

    Tough spot for a player if the other club decides to go after him and submits evidence and medical reports that put mayo on the incident.  I have vivid memories of how Carlton doctor's ensured the book was thrown at Jesse last year (with the delayed concussion claim) so he got the maximum rap when a lesser one (or none) was more appropriate.

    Clarry just received a smack in the jewels from the North player. He responded whilst obviously in pain, by quickly, but gently, tapping the North player's mid-abdomen, silently stating that '...anyone can do that to another and there is no room for it in our game.' Watch the video - that is what you see. It was more a case of Clarry pushing the North player's arm out of the way as it looked like another [censored]-smack was on its way. There is plenty of time for the AFL to repeal this atrocious decision against Clarry and appease his honour and dignity.

    Having looked at the video about 50 times I can't believe that this is the actual incident he was fined for.

    If this sets the precedent for the season then this will be ole Gil at seasons end.

    I think that's the softest tribunal decision ever.

    Two decisions in and it's already a joke. Geez

    Im going to get this story wrong but I’m relatively sure the broad outlines are correct. 

    The softest tribunal decision ever was when Colin Sylvia got suspended for something along the lines of ‘rough conduct’ when he didn’t actually physically come in contact with the opposition player. I believe the tribunal said he had ‘intent’. 

    Some weeks later Sylvia had his jaw broken and the other bloke got off!!

    Sad, but actually very true.

    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. ???

    as he should have. once he elected to bump all the onus was on him to avoid the head. been that way for a few years. 1 week was a minimum sentence anyway. i never thought he should have appea;ed even if it was just $10k risk (to club).

    Medical Report from North: 

    Dear MC, what would you like us to put on the report. All our players obey instructions to the letter from their coach. In closing we know you will look after us for the year. Lovingly  #@%?

    most ridiculous fine ever

    YEP and so the ANT ( Auatralian No Touch) have appealed this decision on the basis that our game is now less Physical and more akin to this hybrid code where if you go past someone very fast, it is  deemed a serious serious assault!

    WTF

    Looks like the AFL are going to come down tough on [censored] slaps. 

    they picked a poor example then

    they would have sent a better message if they pinged the mongrel who dangerously pushed him into the pack

    It’s a strange decision. You can push someone in the back into their team mate and no penalty whatsoever but you can’t retaliate with a slap to the stomach. 

    So the AFL are happy with players pushing players in the back off the ball. Righteo.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
