Title: Re: MRP Results Round 21 Fyfe gets 2 Weeks Harvey referred to tribunal
Post by: Hoggyz_a_legend on August 18, 2014, 04:13:57 PM
From a source- Boomer's incident is being mentioned in the same sentence as Brian Lake's a few weeks ago.

Also, Acres didn't even play for Sandringham last week, so forget about him.

I'm sitting 15th, and have JPK, Fyfe, Beams, Harvey, Ward (TBC) and Pendles (likely to play), with Cameron, and Pavlich covering them all. Looking at at least 2-3 donuts.

Also hearing that Stevie's foot is much worse than first thought.

At least for people with him (I've given up caring), Bartel should come back from his corkie.

Yeah same mate, I'm very suspicious about it.. Someone said it could have the ramifications that Brian Lake's suspension did?

Think the worrying factor also is that the MRP didn't even look at it, and he's been sent straight to the tribunal, ugh

Post by: _wato on August 18, 2014, 04:48:57 PM
All I could find on Boomer..

NORTH Melbourne could be without two gun midfielders for Saturday's clash with Adelaide after Daniel Wells was offered a one-match suspension by the Match Review Panel and an incident involving Brent Harvey was referred straight to the Tribunal.

The MRP cited Harvey with misconduct after a non-broadcast camera captured the veteran slamming Western Bulldogs tagger Liam Picken into the turf.

Harvey then struck Picken with a forearm to the throat.

The incident was viewed to be serious enough to warrant an adjudication from the Tribunal.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-08-19/twogame-ban-for-fyfe

In a sense, it would suck if he manages to argue his way down to 1 match. For me at least. You'd basically have to hang on to him for the SC GF but then that means I have to trade someone else out for an upgrade so I get a worse player... at the moment Fyfe and Beams out with 350k to spend lets me get anyone I want, hello Priddis and Barlow. But if I hang on to Fyfe, it becomes Beams and M.Crouch out for worse options - one of whom will then be wasted riding the pine when Fyfe comes back...

I think they're contesting high vs body as Lewis raises his arm as Fyfe makes contact, so Lewis in a sense deflected it into his own head. Hard case to argue as the MRP has basically take the stance that the "attacking" player is responsible for where the strike lands but it definitely looks as though the intent wasn't to whack him in the head.

TBH in a just world I reckon he has a fair case for 1 week, intentional body contact and incidental head contact BUT the way the MRP have been ruling these things I think he'll stay at 2 and they're just rolling the dice because as you say nothing to lose. Kinda indicates the state of the system though if they're having a crack because who knows what the tribunal will say. If the interpretation of the rules was clear and consistent tribunals should only end up sitting for direct referrals and the odd dispute once in a blue moon.

100% agree.

If they face away from the ball in a marking contest and make contact - free kick.

Just apply that to around stoppages.

It makes my blood boil doc, not just from a fantasy perspective either. A legend like Boomer who plays footy the way it is intended has to tolerate a parasite jockey riding his back all day, frustrating the living daylights out of him. We all just want to see the best players going round playing great footy.

Fyfe another victim of a "run with" player.
In what way? Lewis wasn't "running with" Fyfe ???
Langford?
So because Langford is tagging Fyfe he lashes out and strikes Lewis ???

A good 10-12 players at least get tagged each week but are able to control themselves, Harvey and Fyfe should not be praised for being cowards and cheap shotting their opponenets

I am in an agreeable mood tonight.

Yeah can someone explain how it went down to me? I was following Schmook's live chat and it seemed like it didn't even go to the jury, the chair just said "nah mate you're done" and threw the book at him? From the vision I've seen I reckon Fyfe's defense is spot on, the intentional contact was body level, not head level... Did I miss something?

Fyfe's camp asked for the hit to be graded as follows:
-reckless if high contact
-intentional if body contact

I'm fairly sure it was thrown out because Fyfe's camp admitted the hit was intentional, therefore the chair said "if you admit to hitting intentionally, we can't grade it any other way, no matter where you intended to hit them" and therefore threw it out.

To me, that seems pretty common-sensical.  If you intend to hit someone, you should be accountable for wherever you hit them.  I find it ludicrous that a player could get off by saying their intent was not to hit them in the head, and therefore it should not be graded as intentional contact.  That is entirely subjective and would set a precedent for other players to contest their charges in a similar way.

I will be extremely disappointed in the MRP if he wins the appeal.

Promising and much needed, 1 week is acceptable.

Haha I'm almost completely the opposite, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't get downgraded to one week. I accept the logic of if you intend to hit then you're responsible for where it lands but isn't it a bit like murder vs manslaughter (disclaimer: not a lawyer) - if you set out to kill someone and plan it so then yep fair play you're done for murder. But if you set out to teach them a lesson and injure them, but they die as a result, it's manslaughter... the end result was the same but the intention was different. In this case the defense is not that Fyfe wasn't trying to hit him, he's admitting that, but it was Lewis' actions that caused the hit to be high. So the strike was intended to cause body contact, it was not an intentional head strike. Otherwise where would you draw the line, there's heaps of niggle off the ball with shoulders and pushing, if someone ducks their head into a shove is that also then a 2 week offense? The duck-er has created that situation, even if the duck-ee intended to shove in the first place...

As you can probably guess I disagree lol.  If a player shoves another player with enough force that the MRP have to look at it, then of course they should get weeks.  Don't want a suspension?  Don't shove someone so hard (mind you, it'd take a lot of force for the MRP to look at a shove).  I don't believe the MRP would ever give leverage to the perpetrator.

Sounds familiar?
QuoteBart: OK, but on my way, I'm going to be doing this: (starts waving arms and walking towards her) If you get hit, it's your own fault.
Lisa: OK, then I'm going to start kicking air like this. (kicks) And if any part of you should fill that air, it's your own fault.
(they walk towards each other, and start fighting)

Post by: GCSkiwi on August 20, 2014, 09:03:32 PM
Yeah fair enough though the bart/lisa thing is a bit oversimplified no? The MRP are basically squashing any time someone touches the general head region of another player so if you go back to my hypothetical duck/shove and apply the same logic as was applied to Fyfe, it's two weeks again. Fyfe's hit on Lewis did nothing, so there wasn't a lot of force in it, certainly no more than what you'd see from a defender on a FF after they score :P He's not saying he should get off, just that the grading wasn't right for the circumstances. I guess I just think the circumstances need to be looked at holistically, the system of "intentional or not" + "body or head" + "sufficient force or not" makes it far too black and white when these incidents rarely are. Part of me agrees in the sense that you don't want to create a situation where violence is accepted as part of the game like ice hockey, but if this is a two week offense then most weeks pretty much everyone should be copping a reprimand or 1 week for intentional body contact based off the general niggle...

I agree, the main problem is the grading system.  Intentional + low impact should not be 4 activation points.  Stupid.

The problem is Fyfe's camp can't contest the combination of intentional + low impact because he admitted to it being intentional.

Not really... Fyfe clearly swings and cops Lewis below the shoulder, and at the same time Lewis swings his arm up and causes Fyfe's arm to then slide into his jaw, it's hardly a case of Fyfe clocking Lewis completely unawares. It's hardly Bazza vs Staker, there was no intent to hit him in the head... Actus reus and mens rea, no? Yet because the hit was A: intentional and B: ended up head high, it's classed as an intentional high strike. I completely agree with the Fyfe defense that if you're judging the intention then the strike is intentionally low, if you're pinging him for high contact then it was reckless high contact.
In April Douglas copped two weeks for a high bump on Ward, which was classed as reckless, high contact and high impact, two weeks. A bump is an intentional action, but he gets off with reckless because he didn't mean to kill Ward in the process - how is this any different? A swinging arm is a deliberate act as much as a bump is, and the intention of a bump is to take out a player, let's be honest. So if Douglas gets two weeks for a hit that took Ward out of the game, how is it fair and consistent to slap Fyfe with the same ban for an incident that arguably had no effect on Lewis' game? 1 week for being a dickhead.

I still reckon it was a 'cheap shot' but I agree with '1 week'.

As for Boomer - I reckon 2 at most.

Is it just impossible to get consistency?

Post by: GCSkiwi on August 21, 2014, 07:18:08 AM
Consistency is always going to be difficult when the grading system is attempting to be black and white, I think the system should change. Look at what was the intent of the action and what was the affect on the player who copped it.

Boomer is tough, his argument if I understand was that he was just trying to get up but Picken was holding his jumper, and the elbow to the throat was just part of trying to get off the deck while Picken held him down... Basically "I wasn't trying to elbow him in the throat, I just happened to push with my elbow on his throat region as leverage to try and stand up". Pretty thin wouldn't you say? Agree Picken was asking for it and probably should have copped something for his role in it... But I reckon Boomer was already sitting around 1 week, possibly 2 for that beautiful suplex alone, the elbow was on top of that. I dunno doc, throats are delicate little things that can't be strengthened, in the very least Boomer needs educating on more effective ways to stand up from the missionary position... :P
