MRP - Parker and Nankervis

[CureTheSane]

Not sure about the result of an action having a bearing on the penalty.

Imagine if speeding drivers were only booked if they had an accident?

Kind of annoys me when you see deliberate punches connect, but as there was no injury it's all ok.
Not sending the right message.
This also applies for Toby's incident. Not intentional, so for me, not an issue.

Yes, good point, and on a slight tangent: even though Sam Mitchell was on the receiving end this week, it seems like every third week, he is having some sort of deliberate cheap shot assessed. With these, he either gets off or gets a slap on the wrist. So I think that essentially what the Tribunal has done, is to train him how deliver an illegal blow, with just the right amount of force to cause pain to and anger an opponent, but with not enough force to be suspended.
Probably not a great outcome.

So glad that Nankervis is free to play. With Tippo coming into the senior side, probably Nanka will play in the ressies. Tom Derickx has had to carry the load in the reserves since Sinclair went down. Galloway is useless and Tom has pretty much had to go it alone in the ruck. He was hit in the face in the 3rd qtr and looked ready to throw in the towel but played on despite the threat of serious long term injury.

Harvey fined - careless conduct, low impact to head.

Careless??
Not intentional??
I call BS.

The MRP saved the AFL website some embarrassment as the passage of play in which the Nankervis collision occurred is listed at No. 2 on the "round 21's best moments" video! (The final seconds Nic Nat goal to win the match against GWS was (unsurprisingly) No. 1.)

Very true Meg.

Ludwig, excuse me but did I read this correctly? Are you saying something complimentary about Tom Dx??

He's been doing a tremendous job in the reserves carrying the entire load in the ruck. I was working up a sweat just watching him play, although I admit that may have something to do with living in Thailand. Looks prime to have a big finals series. I'm getting a bit nostalgic thinking about his impending retirement. If there were a salary cap on modelling, then we might have a shot at keeping him.

I see that Trent West announced his retirement, which adds to the nostalgia. Who can forget the ruck battle at the Gabba between Tom and Trent in May 2014 in one of the great ruck duels of the modern era. Tom carried the ruck load that day for a hobbled Mike Pyke. Tom kick the sealer and we came away with the victory 123-39. It was one of Tom's better games in a magnificent 15 game AFL career.

its almost beyond belief that boomer Harvey cops a fine??????? Imagine if Adam Goodes copped a fine for that. You would still hear the crying and the booing would have increased by triple.

They have been going off on the radio about the Harvey decision.

I can't stand Harvey but I had to admit that I cheered when I saw Mitchell had copped it for a change. I'm evil [emoji6] !

It was an unfortunate incident. He was taken by surprise when the ball came into his hands and he smacked himself in the mouth. I'm waiting for the training photos to come out to see how much damage was done. Crossing my fingers.

The funny thing about that photo is that umpire hadnt even balled it up yet, they were both checking themselves out on the scoreboard.
