1 week suspension with the early plea from the Match Review Panel.
5 year good record helped him out.

was worth it. Great Punch Deano Polo ;D :thumbsup
Our players should do this more often but conceal it a tad better
How many times you see Jackson & Tuck get hit every week

Here's the official MRP report...
Dean Polo, Richmond, has been charged with a Level Three striking offence against Richard Douglas, Adelaide Crows, during the fourth quarter of the Round Seven match between Richmond and the Adelaide Crows, played at AAMI Stadium on Sunday May 9, 2010.
In summary, his five-year good record means that he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), medium impact (two points) and body contact (one point). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-game sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 126.56 points and a one-game sanction.
Other incidents assessed
Contact between Richmond’s Jack Riewoldt and the Adelaide Crows’ Bernie Vince from the second quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. Contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.
Contact between Richmond’s Trent Cotchin and the Adelaide Crows’ Bernie Vince from the second quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. Contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.
Contact between the Adelaide Crows’ Scott Thompson and Richmond’s Jack Riewoldt from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. On the vision that was available to assess the incident, the panel said that Thompson had begun a tackling motion but did not continue with his tackle once Riewoldt disposed of the ball. No further action was taken.

He can't afford to get suspended too many times his career is already in the balance.

Jacko is more than capable of looking after himself. ;)

Tuck doesn't even feel their hits let alone feel the need to take a cheap shot lol

It was childish, and stupid and the only reason Polo did it was because he stuffed up and was beaten the whole game by every Adelaide opponent he had. It was just a frustrated, tantrum-style reaction like a little kid who hits his sibling because he's not getting his way. Drop him after his suspension for a game or two, we don't need that attitude rubbing off on the 1st & 2nd year players.
-
some of you need to watch the game at the ground instead of the TV.
you see 100 hits like that in a game. Most of them cheap shots.
l praise Polo for doing such a thing, should have done it in the 3rd quarter cause his player left the ground.
He knew he was getting beaten & l like to see player let thier frustrations out.
Dont tell me every footy player on this forum aint done something like that ever on the field & bragged about it later

Monk when your ready to join us all in the modern era, let us know. That may have been accepted back in the 70's but not now.
Every player cops a week for that and has been for 4 years (Unless your Goodes lol).
Its stupid and shows no discipline.

you obviously dont watch football properly. Them type of punches are given out before the ball even gets bounced. Many times during the game YES in today modern football. Only the Richmond players are often sited & suspended or dont you know that. Maybe l will get Geoff to write it down on a peice of paper for you, cause he absolutely hates Richmond.
l watch every game every week & see blantant punches in front of the umpires & we even talked about it in one of the threads recently. Most agreed, so l watch my football but l dont know what your watching.
Take your eyes off the TV & get down to the games more often & you might see more out of screen action. ;D press your red button follow Cousins or Jackson all game :rollin
-
BTW Popelord
l only stopped playing a few years ago & stopped coaching last year so l think l'm very up to date on modern football
l'm even thinking of coming out of retirement cause l miss having a kick ;D + l'm still involved in football

I agree with you bout the sly hits and niggles, and we seem to have to wear them without the umpires giving much of a crap most of the time too. It is part of footy, but, if your the sort of player that wants to indulge, then you should be a bit more discrete about it than Polo was or your going to cop suspensions. What really peees me off is when players get pinged for defending themselves after being hit. I have seen umpires see exactly what has happened and instead of punishing the initiator, punish the retaliator. Total BS
-
For a guy who is looking to firstly play consistent footy and cement his spot in the side and secondly is walking the tightrope of possibly being delisted it was an act of lunacy to do what he did and get suspended. No excuses. Did himself no favours and if he was getting beaten by his opponent whacking him and preventing himself from making amends next week aint the answer either. Stupid act.

It's not a question of whether it goes on, of course it goes on and anyone paying attention to the game sees that (probably why umpires don't see it that often - they don't pay attention) - the issue is Polo is in dire straits and needs to really show something this season or risk being delisted. Punching your opponent after you stuff up in plain view of everyone, including the umpires, and getting yourself suspended for a week is precisely how NOT to safeguard your spot on the list post-2010.
It's plain stupidity, something the RFC doesn't need any extra helpings of when trying to rebuild.

Agree, Monk, though tummy taps happen all game, difference was this time Polo was a) "unlucky" enough to get him right in the solar plexus that set the Crow right to the turf and b) be caught on camera.
It was stupid by Polo and he deserved the week but those type of punches happen all game long.
