Morris cops a week from MRP [updated]

[one-eyed]

Mark Stevens from the Herald-Sun on Ch 7 reckons Morris will get a couple of weeks for the Elliot incident.

[TigerTimeII]

if they are consistent he will get 3

[WilliamPowell]

Interestingly Ch7 only showed the Elliott incident

No mention of the Swan one which IMV was worse

I reckon he'll be out for a totally of 3-5 because if they consistent he goes for both 

[Yeahright]

For those that say he should go for the one on Swan, can you explain why? I just don't see it. If he goes for the Thomas should go for the follow up bump

There was absolutely nothing in the swan one imo. Looked worse in real time but in slow mo there's nothing sinister about it.

Perfect execution of the bump on Elliot but unfortunately he made contact with the head so he'll cop 2.

With the Swan one IMV Morris is off the ground, not watching the ball, appears to have eyes only for Swan and he got him above the shoulder, throw in it was late and I reckon he is gone for it

That's the one I reckon he's in strife for too WP.

And having said that, I researched the Lindsay Thomas incident from early in the season with regards to the Elliot hit because to me it was a carbon copy and the thing that worries me is that Morris ticks all the boxes for being within the rules that the MRP mentioned in their summary except for contact between the head and the shoulder.  I think Elliot was culpable by seeing and sensing the oncoming impact and then lowering his head but it will all depend on how the terribly inconsistent MRP view it.

So you're both more worried about the Swan one than the Elliot one? I must be missing something and will try and watch a replay of it. I honestly thought Morris's contact was minimal, he turned in midair and slowed right down.

The Elliot one is as clear cut as it gets under the new rules once you try for a bump if u hit the head its gg. Thomas got off bc it was head to head. If his shoulder or any other part of his body had of connected there's no way he wouldve got off.

i didnt see the game but Morro is not guilty. why is everyone trying to turn footy into a game for pansies seriously

Not at all TM reckon he is strife for both hence why I reckon he'll get 3-5 combined

The big problem for mine re the Swan one is how far he off the ground and his intent. There is no grey area for mine being at Least a metre off the ground is the big problem

Put it to you like his Ramps if it was a Tiger player copping the hit we'd be demanding a harsh penalty.

That's what I said as well TM but I think Elliot has to share some culpability because he reacted to the oncoming contact by lowering his head at the last second and helping to cause the head contact rather than the shoulder to shoulder contact that it was initially looking like.  Will all depend on how the weekly MRP lottery numbers roll this week.

Chook lotto numbers I reckon

I'm with TM, I just didn't see anything in it but maybe I missed it? I agree he left the ground which could put him in some trouble but seemed more to smother than to bump in my view so I thought leaving the ground wouldn't mean to much in that circumstance. Anyone roughly remember when it was I want to look again

3rd qtr yeahright, in the centre square just after the bounce immediately after one of the 8 goals
