MRP gives Vickery 2 weeks + fine & Thomas 1 week.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

The Tigers have accepted the penalties for Vickery & Thomas

Vickery's out for 2 weeks & Thomas 1

As per the AFL web-site 

Have we found out why four activation points can equal 125 points or 80 points????????????

If you are talking about the Thomas -v- Thompson and why one is 125 the other 80 points

One was classified under "rough conduct" (thomas)  the other as a "strike" (Thompson)

Rough conduct has a higher points weighting, than a strike

I guess the question that I am now pondering is why?
Why would an actual strike be less than rough conduct?

Strange....

thats just mental

dont bump em, just punch em, you get into less trouble.

I am just glad Vickery was rubbed out.  It means we don't have to suffer him in the seniors for the next two weeks.

Only thing I can think of is that rough conduct captures everything striking doesn't eg flapping point elbows

Also if you look at some of the ones they've grade rough contact eg the head high bumps have had nasty consequences

Also grade 1 striking is 80 points. The higher the grading the higher the points

If I were Matt Thomas, I'd fight it. Insufficient force for mine, doesn't look anywhere near as bad as Franklin's and he got off.

Absolutely. They played them back to back on Ch7 and Franklins looked far very week.  worse. Also Thompson whacks guys like that every week. He should be out for two.
They should suspend that little turd Harvey for staging.

Ballantyne just got off also. l don't understand this MRP & tribunal it's out of this world some of these decisions

[🏅Dooks]

would have thought we'd appeal Vickerys sentence.

2 weeks is not enough
