The look of the game, children all over the world were appaulled at the sight of Zach viciously attacking that man. What about the rights of the people!
They are dumb rules, and the now we get to hear Francis Leach and others chomp on about how Zach is selfish because he didn’t think about his teammates, the club, the supporters and every rights group and SJW out there. The game is a joke…
No doubt the tribunal would have asked for the report. There is only one person to blame here and that’s Zerrett.
If It was Zerrett that was hit like that we’d be expecting 2 weeks - well I would be.
Surprise, surprise we get bent over and farked in the ■■■■ again. In anycase I recon he needs a rest, has not been at bit fatigued in the past couple of weeks. Parish to spend more time in the middle. I have confidence Parish can step up for us. Has been in very good form.
Medium impact. ■■■■ that. Can’t respect an opinion that defends the mrp when they’ve clearly manipulated their findings to achieve a desired result. And if that contact caused Plowman any ill effects, then it’s time for her to find a non-contact sport.
“Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Carlton Football Club, the incident was assessed as an intentional conduct with medium impact to the body. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a one-match sanction.”
Load of crap. I don’t defend the MRP ever but you seriously cannot believe he wasn’t gone the moment he did it. If you go back tp the match thread and the after thread most people actually expected him to be gone a week.
But that’s beside the point, Zach deliberately hit a guy, scream all you want but that’s disappointing.
Yeah they let Cotchin off, not sure why that upsets people, it is what I expect from the MRP on decisions, one week nothing, next week 5 weeks for the same thing. They weren’t screwing us over in as much as they let higher profile players off all the time and go after the ones they don’t think mean much to anyone.
Zac did get hit a few minutes before by Casboult. You might say it wasn’t as hard a hit, but it was to the kidneys, versus Zac hitting Plowman to the upper chest, where you are pretty well protected. The effect of the two hits was roughly the same. One got two weeks reduced to one, and the other got a 50m penalty.
