mjb said:Nothing to lose by appealing. According to RFC site, his recent record means that he doesn't get a reduction for an early plea, so 2 games no discount not 3 games down to 2.
Do it Tigers!!!!
BrisTiger24 said:That's not what the MRP report says. In the last para of that report it says he gets an extra week for bad record which takes it to 3 which can be reduced to 2 with an early guilty plea.

D) IMPACT OF A BAD RECORD ON CLASSIFIABLE OFFENCES
The base sanction for Classifiable Offences will be subsequently increased where
a Player has a bad record. In particular, a Player charged with a Classifiable
Offence which attracts a base sanction of two or more matches will receive an
additional one-match suspension if he has been suspended for at least two
matches in total in the two previous AFL Years.

They dodged a bullet with Priddis winning last year. Not risking embarrassment a second time.St Kevin said:Fyfe's eyes were nowhere near the ball. Coupled with his bad record, I was sure he'd get a week.
Seems like a policy decision not to rub out the Brownlow favourite.
Mac said:If you've got access to view highlights of the cats v roos game, near the end of the 3rd qtr (1:33 mins to go to be exact) number 43 for the roos (Sam Gibson?) steam rolls Joel Selwood.... possibly in retaliation to his chicken wing tackle before that. Intentional/deliberate and forceful contact with body to the head of Selwood who is laid out flat and looked in trouble for a bit and very lucky not to be concussed.... probably was slightly, but he eventually got up and played on - but the fact he wasn't officially ruled as concussed shouldn't diminish the seriousness of the bump.
It gets replayed in slo mo.
I defy anyone to defend this (in the current climate of rules) as not being worthy of report and having AT LEAST the same penalty Vickery got.
Yet it wasn't even reviewed as far as I can tell.

Not the case at all rosy. The club might find it to be an appalling decision but unless they can make an evidence based case to counter the findings they would be wasting their time and giving Vickery an extra week.rosy23 said:Surely not challenging it means we accept it was a reasonable decision? I'd be very disappointed if the club believed it was wrong but just went with the flow.
WesternTiger said:My biggest issue with the weekends MRP outcomes is that Fyfe, Mitchell and Adams actions were malicious and specifically intended to maim their opponent while Vickery 's intent was solely to block a player. How on earth does he then get the bigger suspension and his action seen by most as the bigger evil?!
