Conca cops a 3 week suspension [updated]

[tiga]

After the rules were clarified by the AFL, the Tigers don't even have to make the NAB Cup final - a highly unlikely prospect after they lost to the Roos in their first game - to take advantage of the new loophole.

Who writes this crap?? This sentence completely contradicts itself. How can you have a clarification of a ratified rule change which was designed to prevent players infringing preseason from being punished in the season proper classified as a loophole? 

Definition : A loophole is an ambiguity in a system, such as a law or security, which can be used to circumvent or otherwise avoid the intent, implied or explicitly stated, of the system.

There is nothing ambiguous about this rule change at all. I wonder if this journo would have called it a "Loophole" if it was a non Richmond player! They just love kicking us don't they!

Am happy with this. I would have been happier if he got off but under the rules he did well not to miss the first week of the real stuff. Seemed to have stepped up from last year so we will welcome the midfield depth he provides come round one.

Tigers accept the penalty

 

No brainer I would have thought

[Mr Magic]

Knew Reece was hard at the ball. Nice to know he's hard at the man also..

[Mr Magic]

Media starting to realise not only who this guy is but that he can play. The week's events have lifted the young man's profile somewhat..

Yep reckon Concs is a beauty, happy he is playing round1.
On the suspension spose it's a fair deal in the environment we are operating, all the same turds (and that's all they are) wanting him drawn and quartered need a good look at themselves.
There was no malice in the event just a really nice block a bit far off the ball, even Concs could of got hurt the way it panned and what that says is he has a knack of protecting himself and getting in the right position.

Oh yeah and Norf, they liked to bully us and when the table is turned whine like the little biatches they are.

[Yeahright]

What happened to bumping off the ball being intentional? Maxwell got nothing

[tony_montana]

Didn't he cop 2?

  Maxy out round 1 next year only. Thank god I'd rather he played against us.

Norf fans think he will serve it in NAB Cup ala Conca. Can't wait till they realise this isn't the case. Gunna sit back with a few tinnies and enjoy the lulz.

Poor wording. I didn't mean it specifically my bad. But I thought off the ball was automatically intentional and he only got reckless?

He's gunna be serving a lot more than the NAB Cup regardless - 6 weeks!!!
