MRP watch

[one-eyed]

The media not only single out big Ivan but Rance also 

Richmond will have a nervous wait to see how the match review panel views incidents involving Alex Rance's clumsy late spoil on Jack Watts early in the second quarter and an exchange involving Ivan Maric during a melee.

The AFL is also likely to examine incidents where players struck their heads on the hard Astroturf outside the MCG boundary.

Melbourne co-captain Jack Grimes was concussed late in the match when he landed over the boundary, while Tiger Daniel Jackson was earlier left dazed.

grimes didnt hit his head on the artificial turf. These guys are clowns.

Did anyone notice just before the melee started that a Melbourne player stopped trying to punch the ball and was deliberately punching the Richmond player (who was holding him in a tackle) in the head ?  The players involved (can't remember who they were) were both lying on the ground at the time.

They'll probably cop 2-3 weeks each just to even it up after Conca was allowed to serve his suspension in the Nab Cup.

And that was far worse than Maric's pimp slap

No mention anywhere of the Davey punch, was a bit more than the Maric one from what I saw.

Yeah, someone was hooking into Cotch at the bottom of the pack, thats what started the whole Melee....

Exactly

[Owl]

Yeah the Melbourne player starting punching the tackler in the head, dunno who it was from memory.  Everyone arced up. DH commentators were going on about how tough Davey was because he was punching Ellis...Doesn't take a backward step, maybe Ellis was trying not to get reported for hitting the little prick back.  He better go for a row if our blokes do.

Just punching cotch in the head as deliberate as you can get!

What's Rance's history with the MRP like?

What's Rance's history with the MRP like?

has points - suspended round 1 last year for a late hit on some Carlton player. 2-3 games for memory

Buddy grabs Johncock by the leg. Free kick paid for the trip.
Commentators then ask whether he's in trouble and all say they don't want to see Buddy suspended. 

So not only does Buddy (and a few other pets like Judd) get the rub of the umpiring - note the holding Talia's arm with one hand and pushing in the back with the other - but they also operate to a different set of rules at the MRP.

Hmmm. Not good. We really cant afford to lose him.
