Mummy, downgrade - 2 week ban - swans consider appeal

[sWAns63]

He's turning into another Lloyd (please dont touch me...or I'll fall over)

[Triple B]

Let's not get too silly here.

This is not an Ablett issue, this is a MRP issue.

Disgraceful.

[Dave]

I'm gobsmacked.

What is the game coming to, ffs.

My thoughts exactly. Totally crap and totally inconsistent.

Disgraceful.

Agree it is an MRP issue. They seem to have very little idea. Still bewildered how Maguire managed to earn a week for a head clash with Bolton.

[stellation]

Ch 10 just reported the Swans will fight the charge and are furious that it was even looked at, given the ROK tackle never rated a mention

As always, Roos and I are on the same page.

[Jeffers1984]

hahaha what a @@@@ing joke.

This is why I'm not confident that the challenge will succeed. Still the penalty for the extra week for an unsuccessful challenge is a game against the undermanned Hawks so it's a small risk to take

[aardvark]

MRP is a joke. Ablett is a protected species, well done Mummy Great tackle!!!!

[Matty10]

It was a really forceful tackle, but that was it as I saw it. Was there a problem with the tackle because Ablett no longer had the ball when he hit the turf? It was not as if he 'speared' him.

[Donners]

Argh, I just put him into my SuperCoach team for Seaby!

Perhaps now White can finally do something?

[707]

Been back and loked at it again. What a @#$%ing joke!

This is just a great strong tackle, I reckon there's a couple of these every week. One can only only assume it's because of who hit the deck.

I'm certain we'll appeal and certain we'll get off. If it goes to three that's no concern as that game is against the P&Ws and Pyke will monster them by himself.

Still stunned by the report ........

[Far Reach]

I think the lifting and twisting in the airis the issue here - exacerbated by Mumford's relative strength. I suspect Mumford will be made an example here to stamp it out though it was an instantaneous and seemingly unintentional event. As others have noted, can't be high contact, was a standard tackle in most respects so hardly reckless - and medium impact may be too harsh given no injury seemed to be sustained by Ablett.

If he can't get off I'd expect Minson in for dogs and us to go with Richards as second ruck with White as back up up forward - I prefer to see Currie in though.

Think SBS first of the news outlets to pick it up:

I tell you what, the moose meat sausages are clearly better than I thought they'd be if that fellow can put away 20 of them.

[hammo]

This is such a joke of a decision. There is no consistency at all.

I assume the high contact is because Ablett's head hit the turf? The tackle was a giant bear hug!
