MRP didnt think anything of the incident, free to play against hawthorn!!!

AAAAH! Brey!!!!! How dare they delete my thread!!!

Anyhoo, Aaron wasn't told off for smacking baker either. Thought it was worth mentioning.

 

Yeah, I know. Damn my verbal incontinence...


From the AFL:

Contact between Melbourne's Matthew Whelan and St Kilda's Luke Ball from the first quarter of Friday's match was reviewed. It was the view of the panel that Whelan ran from eight to 10 metres from in front of Ball. Ball was tracking the Melbourne player in possession and, just before contact was made, Whelan turned his body to shepherd his teammate, resulting in contact between Whelan's back and Ball's chest. The momentum of the contact result in an accidental head clash. Under the tribunal guidelines, as this was an accidental head clash, it was the view of the panel

- the force was not excessive, given the short distance that Whelan moved;

- Ball was actively involved in the passage of play;

- Ball was in a position to protect himself;

- Whelan did not use either his shoulder or his elbow to make high contact;

- Whelan did not leave the ground at any stage.

As such, the action was not deemed to be reportable.

and...

Contact between Melbourne's Aaron Davey and St Kilda's Steven Baker from the third quarter of Friday's match was reviewed. It was the view of the panel that Davey made contact with Baker's neck after the St Kilda player had disposed of the ball. Davey's action was a pushing motion and not a strike, and was not considered a reportable offence.

What about Hodge??

Luke Hodge, Hawthorn, has been charged with tripping Nigel Lappin, Brisbane Lions, during the third quarter of the Round One match between Hawthorn and the Brisbane Lions, played at the Gabba on Saturday March 31, 2007.

In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 66 points towards his future record with an early plea.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of three activation points, which relates to a Level One Offence, drawing 80 demerit points and a reprimand. He has a total of one match suspended within the last three years, which increases his penalty by 10 per cent to 88 points. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 66 points and a reprimand.

 

good to see that they have good sense and not report wheelan, when i saw the article that schwab wrote today i nearly tore the paper to shreds, what is that idiot on? he couldnt coach and now just writes crap articles!

did he purposely grab his leg to stop him running? how could this be negligent, shouldnt it be deliberate?

negligent could only mean that it was not on purpose and he shouldnt have taken more care. ie he had fallen over, was trying to get up and lappin ran over his legs. of course it was deliberate...at least it was reckless (ie he was trying to tackle and missed)...


Glad to see that whelan the wrecker will be available to take on the hawks.

Whelan will be needed if the dees are to restore some pride agaisnt the hawks. His inclusion to the starting lineup is a massive bonus.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
