After his woeful game this week, he might toughen up
vision here:
Guy is bulletproof. Honestly think he would have to knife someone for tribunal to even think about giving him the suspension he deserves.

The Burgoyne tackle on Dangerfield appeared to tick all the boxes for a suspensionâŚ

Cowardly bully-boy. Note that he hit Sexton while Sexton was being held by two other WCEs. Plick should have got a month.

I thought the official response from any AwFL entity is always: âBecause Fark You, Thatâs Whyâ.
AFL will now be changing the penalties in response to the judgment against Burgoyne.
He still wonât be suspended. But other players from round 3 will be.
Not even surprised.
Curious choice to tell the media to pre-announce âsomethingâ.
I guess they thought theyâd look sillier announcing it at the same time they passed a judgement contrary to that.
When do the findings from Sunday games get released?
Was just thinking that, surely they would have announced it already??
If anything happens to Redman we should appeal. He is clearly knocked off his feet by Smith coming into the pack and bumping him. No doubt Mason put a bit of extra mayo on it but he has a legitimate excuse.

Theyâre busy amending the dangerous tackle rules.
Action of the sling tackle will get a week, any further consequence is extra weeks.
Donât see why they canât change the Burgoyne fine to a suspension.
McGovern is challenging his one match ban too.
Maybe they had to change the sling tackle rule before they could ping Merrett?

Clear vision of him hitting a guy in the head with a clinched fist. He wonât win that one.

They changed it because one of the things with Burgoyne was that the rule refers to pinned âarmsâ but he only pinned one arm, so it didnât technically qualify under that rule.
Which is weird, because players have been suspended for sling tackles where they only pinned one arm before. But AFL.

The MRP are all over the shop with consistency. Why canât they have a set of actual videos to view as references to establish what is and is not a suspendible action (and for how many weeks, $$). Match the offence under review to the precedents to determine which category it fits in and decide accordingly.

Whatâs mind boggling to me is they switched to only having one person. One person judges all incidents and is somehow still wildly inconsistent.
