agree with the margin. i'll go a range of 30-39 would not be surprised with a 1st qtr blow out

no need to bring facts into it, gonzo

heard one of the mrp members on radio this morning. he said they would be busy reviewing 10 incidents. if they haven't met yet, who decides which incidents get looked at (and not looked at)?

going price is $600+k reportedly cats offering peanuts

as religion is such an inspiration, how about a public stoning in fitzroy gardens. to add a touch of capitalism we could get boral quarries to sponsor and supply suitable rocks and unlike life of brian all genders would be welcome. of course a license from yarra council would be required for a small fee. biffo as master of ceremonies, dieter to cast the first stone. fun for all and a salient lesson to greedy developers

maybe more emphasis on cotchin because (a) he only needs a fine level penalty to be out and (b) danger didn't get taken off for concussion (though probably a close call) sloane's bump is worth looking at/discussing though

he's a [censored] free agent just realised from 2016 post - lol

should have been a free to danger though. as it turned out it cost [censored] 2 goals

they could have easily windowed the kick for goal and still caught the other action. got the technology, use the technology

good effort by port, specially considering richmond could stack their side with listed players due to being still in afl finals

at least the toiges don't have to wear a crummy predominately white strip at least they are wearing their colours even if not in the traditional config i don't mind the reverse image strip but i'm not a toiges fan because they did it for aints i guess they have to be consistent and do it for the toiges wouldn't be happy if i was a toiges fan but it's not really to bad given it's still 'yellow 'n black'

for the last time.... i am merely discussing this incident as i see it on the basis of the current afl bumping rules and previous mrp rulings this year, and whether cotchin breached these rules. i have intentionally avoided discussing the right/wrong of these rules as it has nothing to do whether cotchin breached the current rules and is a red herring that will just go around in circles. i'm well aware you have been promoting tackling rules for the afl along the lines of the nfl or nrl and this thread is simply not the best place to go there. what the mrp will decide i have no f'n idea though i expect they will do anything to find a way to find him not guilty over and out

still being silly if you want a discussion on changing the afl rules regarding tackling, or the process, consistency and independence of the mrp then start a new thread

you're just being silly now, macca

your comprehension skills are not too good today, macca i only said he was gone according to current rules (and precedents) i have said a number of times (and gave reasons) why it could go either way i also said i wasn't overly fussed how it turns out

there is a good chance the mrp(afl) will rule no case to answer which won't satisfy many will further the case of mrp inconsistency and afl incompetence and.....is really no good reason to chuckle

the key, bub, is cotchin opted at the last minute to bump and not tackle. the rules state that in that circumstance the onus is on the bumper to have a duty of care such that any head contact is a reportable offence

disappointed you couldn't have worked a banana into your analogy, mr leg

whatever, macca back in the real word there are real current rules and that is what should decide this issue but being the afl/mrp i very much doubt it

having watched it again and listening to the arguments here, i'm wavering according to the current rules (right or wrong) he is gone according to the 3 fines rule he is gone going on how the mrp work it is anyone's guess going on previous finals he probably gets off if it is up to the afl (i.e. $$$s) he gets off ........and then there is sloane......

how come richmond finish lower and get a home ground advantage (again) let them wear the canary yelllow rig suffer in their jocks

one-trick pony i heard

really! i thought it was the carlton medical report

suppose that means umps will be wearing yellow tops
