Morris cops a week from MRP [updated]

[Rampstar]

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

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

6 weeks thanks 

[Yeahright]

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

More specific please, I want to see Swan get smashed, not Collingwood kick a bunch of goals

From The AFL Website- MRP Statement

Charges laid:

Steve Morris, Richmond, has been charged with a Level Two engaging in rough conduct offence (225 demerit points, two-match sanction) for engaging in rough conduct against Jamie Elliott, Collingwood, during the second quarter of the Round Four match between Richmond and Collingwood, played at the MCG on Saturday April 20, 2013.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Collingwood Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.

As for the other one involving Swan: going by their statement the MRP didn't even look at it.

Have to say I'll take it but is just further proof as to why this whole system has become a farce. One week it's reportable then next week it's not. No wonder fans are doing this

Andy D cleaned up there with all the melee money from the Saints,Bums game. 

2,800 each player for some push and shove LMAO.

[Yeahright]

All sounds fair to me, max two weeks I thought with early plea

Clearly I was wrong as were a few others  . I only based my view on what's gone on before and to a lesser extent what others have got away with so far this season.

At some point the MRP are going to suspend someone for the exact same thing, thankfully for Steve Morris's it isn't going to be him

But I stand by my view that the system is farcical

I know who is wrong and so does the rest of the AFL public.  The MRP have no credibility because of the inconsistency with their rulings so on any given week it's a lottery how any incident will be adjudicated.  Just a footnote to the whole farce that has become the rules and the umpiring really.
