I am not only disappointed in Match Review Panel but also Richmond who I bleive should have challenged this. Is a disgrace.

I reckon the decision was probably made on the chances of winning rather than on emotion about what seems a steep sentence.SCOOP said:Double What? I thought the club would appeal. Rance is standing still, Waite runs into him. But kicking backwards is ok.
The Match Review Panel is still the biggest mystery in AFL.

Does anyone know if there is footage of the hit? I've only seen the one angle from the live match and you can't really see anything.
Cheers PA. Hard to see how there aren't mitigating circumstances? It can't be intentional, Rance only held his ground there was clearly no intent. Is intent part of the MRP's points system?Phar Ace said:AFL site has a story entitled MRP..... look for the red picture. It has three showings, two are similar, one is hard to see anything. Still hard to tell with confidence whether Rance stopped or not. It was off the ball, Rance was left standing and Waite wasn't - never a good look.

Col.W.Kurtz said:Dunno how you can tell that, I look at the incident several times and the video is pretty inconclusive. There are bodies going everywhere, players looking at their man and the incoming kick, it’s entirely conceivable that it was just one of those things that happen without intent. If Rance had grabbed his head and faked like it was an accidental head clash rather than Waite’s head on his shoulder he probably would have got off.
Have to agree with that, to me it always looks as though Rance plants his foot to take position then Waite (who finally decides its time to look in the same direction as he's running) runs smack into a brickwall.SCOOP said:Double What?

I don't remember hearing anything. Terrible news. I feel for Rancid. He showed a bit last week, too.
