How does Jack Ziebell get cleared for contact on Sam Mitchell.

see hit here (http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/video-jack-ziebell-reignites-north-melbourne-and-hawthorn-tension-with-late-bump-on-sam-mitchell/news-story/cd107958473e4b9d411ff86589d01bec)

I refer everything back to the Jong incident which was assessed as 3 matches, an 1 match discount for early plea.

It's simple really. They kept rubbing Zieball out and he walk out of the tribunal and say 'I'm not changing the way I play'. So they had to keep suspending him or not.

How ridiculous that a judiciary system working for the AFL would opperate in this manner.
Imagine the uproar if our judicial system worked the same way.
"Your honor my client yes did have the intent to murder his wife in their bedroom but because the outcome was both unsatisfactory and underwhelming for my client,
I can see no other option for you my lud and the good people of this jury to acquit my client on all charges of intent to kill her because she is physically still in our presence as we can all plainly see for ourselves,like our very noses on our faces,

You can interpret the knee in the face two ways:

1. He tried to free his foot by lifting his leg, and thereby a knee in the face or

2. He meant to give him a little jab and thought it wouldn't be picked up.

For me, I interpret it as point 1 although I can see a marginal case for duty of care. Danger had freed the ball by hand, Geary still had his lower leg wrapped up with his arm and Patrick looked like he had to use a fair degree of force to free himself from the hold. If this was Bont being held up by Geary in a similar fashion I would hate to think that Marcus would be rubbed out or fined for it.

That was my point exactly. The Redpath one was exactly the same IMO. Redpath was being held by the legs and lifted his leg to get clear. In doing so he stumbled. Dangerfield was exactly the same. The only difference was Dangerfield collected his opponent on the way up with his knee, Redpath on the way down. Dangerfield's had more force. Neither deserved a suspension.

Of course the incident when Dale Morris was hit high trying to pick up the ball wasn't even assessed by the MRP. Yet if he had to be stretchered off there would have been weeks handed out. Dumb luck and Dale's toughness has saved him.

Now I don't believe the Swans player did anything wrong, but it was still high contact and deserved a free kick at least. The lack of consistency in it not even being assessed is astounding.

C.f with Jong. The difference was the outcome only. Yet one was an immediate report, free kick and subsequent suspension. The other was dismissed completely. Morris looked distressed after the contact, he does not embellish.

Matt de Boer, Fremantle, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Marcus Bontempelli, Western Bulldogs, during the third quarter of the Round 23 match between Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs, played at Domain Stadium on Sunday August 28, 2016.

In summary, he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Western Bulldogs Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with low impact to the head. The incident was classified as a $1500 sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1000 sanction.


So do you need to be knocked unconscious before it is classified as medium impact? Forced from the ground bleeding isn't enough obviously. That it wasn't even paid as a free kick at the time was a joke.

Have to agree there. It is a spot that bleeds easily, but drawing blood has to be medium impact at a minimum

I see what you mean but I think that if it's an area that bleeds easily then try not to hit it. If you do hit it and you do draw (quite a lot of) blood then it's got to be more than careless.

If anything they've been consistent on not penalising those to the point we have a thread dedicated to it.

I would have thought that a stomach punch, although not of of long term consequence, places a big restriction on a gut running mid fielder for some time. That alone should make it something that the MRP could look at. It happens far too often to be anything else than an attempt to gain an unfair advantage.

From the weekend, Steve Johnson is the only one who is any chance to be rubbed out.

The other offences are all worth fines under the current system. Hawthorn work the system perfectly and just belt blokes in the throat and the chest and get away with $1500 fines.

Its a funny game when a bump is judged far more harshly than a punch to the throat.

When I arrived at the ground, I actually thought that it was a fairly soft landing to get Sydney in the first GF that most (or all) of us have experienced.

By soft landing, I mean that it wasn't by any stretch a fierce atmosphere - no angst - like we would probably have experienced if we had run into Collingwood, Hawthorn or St.Kilda for instance in a grand final. If Sydney had have won, you wouldn't have expected any of their supporters to antagonise you.

Hard to say a bad word about the way Sydney's players or supporters conducted themselves, and you would hope they would feel the same about us.

It was certainly a different feel in GWS - where it seemed (we) bulldogs supporters who were on tour, were on a mission and brought the hostility up the highway/across the border!
