Campbell Brown-Daniel Jackson clash threads [Merged]
- Thread starter RemoteTiger
- Start date
I am totally bewildered!
The football Gods are definitely against us at every turn - every decision in the game & the running of the AFL is going against us!
The Jackson and Brown incident - Brown off from concussing Jackson who had his head over the ball. Jackson gets done for using his own fringe to brush a fly off Brown's face.
We play Essendon next week and Hille gets off his 2nd MRP incident in 2 weeks - there's gotta be a backhander - money in a "brown" paper bag somewhere here - it has too much aroma around it!
The lack of prority picks yet again as we win the wooden spoon
To name but three foul smelling decisions against Richmond over the last couple of years. There have been many others.
I don't think I'm paranoid - but strewth the way things are going I might have to reaccess that!
Funny how those teams up the ladder rarely have sh!t happen to them when their players are considered by the MRP. (Brown off, Hille off - maybe our club Directors don't mix in the right circles or grease the right palms!)
Footnote - when you're down and almost out and the sh!t happens to ya, it usually happens many times and in all areas.

Re: Brown let off- jackson 2 weeks.....
Haven't seen yesterday's incident but thought for sure that he'd go for two separate incidents earlier this year. He's a late hit specialist and a white Adam Goodes (protected species).
That's what's farcical, Waite's elbow was the most vicious incident I've seen since Hall ko'd Staker.
Have no issue with Brown's hit, was very fair and we'd have loved it if a Richmond player laid that bump at that stage of the game.

My expert footy brain tells me that the Brown hit was just fine. MRP got that right. Dimma got it right. If the situation was reversed the majority of RFC supporters would be crowing (and the Dawks bleating) but that's what you get with passionate lovers of any team. It was just good hard footy from both players. If we had a few more players who regularly showed the grit and courage of Brown then the club would be better off.
The Jackson Glasgow kiss was a joke. Jackson should be rubbed out for 6 weeks for attempting one and failing that badly. MRP got that wrong.

What an absolute joke. Jackson getting 3 weeks for that is a disgrace. I hope we defend the charge.
Whats worse is Mitchell gets next to nothing for pulling Nasons hair. Hair pulling is up there with spitting.

Brown was not tough. A tough player would play the ball, not over run it and hit the player with his head over the footy!
Brown thinks that chucking a brick through the window of a 7/11 to scare an Indian student is tough.
I'm not a Jackson fan and don't really care if he misses matches but that decision is really quite funny. It appears the MRP are so robotic and apply each letter of the law literally without even thinking about it - "Head high contact - check, deliberate act - check, low impact - check" What about the spirit of the game, the circumstances, the emotion, the fact that the act would not have even broken an egg? Why are there even humans on the panel, just implement a computer program.

Agree, we would have a very strong defence I assume based on his remarks

Brown also denied he had been headbutted by Jackson as he left the field after the clash, which drew no response from umpire Damien Sully but is certain to be one of several incidents from Hawthorn's three-point win that is assessed by the AFL's match review panel today.
Jackson was trying to pick up the ball at half-forward, when he was hit head-on by Brown. The Tiger grabbed his head as he lay on the turf before remonstrating with Brown as he left the field. Brown appeared to draw the attention of an official to Jackson's contact with him, but the Hawk downplayed that exchange last night.
''No, I don't think I was headbutted,'' Brown said in the change rooms after his 150th game. ''It was a bit of by-play. He gave away a free kick, I was kind of baiting him a little bit for staying down a little bit too long, and it was just a bit of fun, it happens in footy, it was good. He played very well today.''

i guess that is why you can request to have a tribunal hearing. At least it does have a more Human element. But why the MRP can't show the same common sense is beyond me!Harry said:

Agree on both. Points system is a joke. You can look at an incident and say no way under the spirit of the game should that be worth any weeks but technically it might be head high, low impact bla bla and therefore the total points equal a couple of weeks. Just scrap it already.
I guess you missed the bit where Brown nearly broke your key forwards arm with his attack on the loose ball, not to mention the fact that Brown and Jackson were running head first at each other when contact was made. It was a great contest for a loose ball.hopper said:
Campbell Brown riles up opposition supporters so much for the way he carries on, but you seriously cannot question whether he will put himself in the spot to take the hit, as he's been doing that ever since his first game.
In his first year, he refused to go off the ground with a busted shoulder and stood in front of a leading Nigel Smart, a move that ultimately sat him out for almost half the season and which won Hawthorn the game.

brown clearly turned his body and hit jackson with a hip and shoulder. Jackson had his head over the ball. One player went the ball, one went the man.
having said that, if he didnt hit him high then by the rules he gets off, as he has.
Hardly.Brodders17 said:
They both went for the ball.
Once it was apparent to Brown that he was not going to get the ball he slightly turned his shoulder towards the point of contact, as he knew contact was about to be made.

Not much to say on the lead up to the game.Baloo said:
Pretty disappointing effort all-round really after having to sit through that on SUnday. Didn't feel like a win.
I thought the Tigers were massive improvers though. I hope you beat the Scum this week.
