Rance cops 3 weeks [updated]

[one-eyed]

Yet Waite has nothing to answer for for kicking McGaune in the groin 


Contact between Carlton’s Jarrad Waite and Richmond’s Luke McGuane from the first quarter of Thursday’s match was assessed. After examining the available footage and receiving a medical report from Richmond, it was determined that that force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. Further, the Panel was not satisfied that there was any attempt on the part of Waite to connect with greater force. No further action was taken.

That's rubbish.

From the footage it looks like a head clash!!!

They're both of a similar height, and both were upright, and they clashed heads??

So not only is kicking allowed now but kicking an opponent in the groin is as well. What a joke the MRP is!  

No surprises anymore when Tiger players cop harsh sentences yet opposition players get off  . It was a bump off the ball on a player doubling back that happens 50 times a game. Sure Rance got him high and probably deserved a week or two but 4 weeks please!

for what its worth.
It happened right in front of me ( as WP knows where i sat )
Thought it was a stupid thing to do and aint surprised he got weeks.
4 is a bit high, 2 would be correct.
TV footage doesnt show it, I thought that Rance lined him up and could of avoided contact, thats my view on it from sitting behind both of them.

If Rance had avoided contact he probably would've been dragged by the coach for allowing a forward to double back right past him unchecked.

there was a bit of nigggle before that and unfortunately Rance lined him up, end of story.
My thoughts that Waite should of got suspended for the kicking incident.
Not good for the game and the development at junior level.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Rance has copped 4 weeks (early plea reduces it to 3)

You have GOT to be joking.

This is horsesh|t

Exactly right Tony. What a crap penalty. Shame coz Rance was one of our better players on Thursday night.

Cop the next three and we gain him back for our first win of the season against norf.

This is ridiculous.

4 weeks is pretty stiff for contact which looked rather innocuous....especially when you get 8 weeks for king hit.(Hall).

[RollsRoyce]

Disgraceful decision.
Rance gets 4 weeks for an accidental clash of heads, and Waite has no case to answer for a deliberate back-heel kick to the goolies
It just absolutely beggars belief. The more I see of the MRP, the more I'm convinced that their judgements are based on the team's position on the ladder.

[Judge Roughneck]

That's byllshit. I feel sick.

Hille will put someone square in te jaw ad get off

[camboon]

So who plays on the opposition monster forwards, one of our many half back flankers.

I thought he played a reasonsable game and has improved on previous years, seem to run straight and give off to players in better positions most of the time.

4 weeks is very disappointing

Rance was hardly going full tilt at Waite as Waite doubled back. No way was it worth as much as 4 weeks. Compare that to Scarlett's swinging elbow into Nick Riewoldt's ribs (1 week) and Waite kicking McGuane in the groin (got off   ). Sorry Jack the MRP is a joke! There's no consistency.
