Scratching my head at the MRP once again

I cant wrap my head around how they come up with some of this rubbish..
Decide for yourself. Heres the link, watch the video of the findings and this moron try to explain them.

Walkers I can understand, it was only a matter of time before he was rubbed out again for doing something stupid, I just cant understand how the umpire standing 5 meters away couldnt see how dangerous it was.

Goddards one is an abolute joke, it was a high, open hand that slung around his neck. Its a free kick and move on.

The Douglas head high hip and shoulder on rance is no different than guerras one on betts yet douglas gets nothing, guerra gets 3? Unbelievable

They base the level of impact on the "medical report" that the clubs provide the day after the game. They can say what they want on a medical report to have that player sit on the sidelines.
Not to mention some people just have harder heads than others, some people get up after they get smacked rather than making a big show out of it. Bit of common sense would be nice.

Rant over...

Well said Quinny. That was probably what most people thought.

Cant believe Crameri got 2 weeks what a joke

Just one sentence "The inconsistent MRP strikes again". [iI think I speak for all when I say we just want to see some consistency with charges laid and penalties given.
I am a Brisbane supporter but tell me how much difference really in Goddards actions and Blacks Back hander. How is one worth 2 weeks and the other a reprimand.

Why is he out for 2 weeks for a bump on Addison? Well, Addison is out for 4 weeks now with a broken jaw. I think Crameri should have been out for as long as Addison was out. I'd consider him lucky.

That ones a bit tricky, Crameri wasnt looking at addison, he didnt leave the ground, he didnt raise his arm but he still did collect him high, accidently, and apparently break his jaw

I found the goddard one a bit confusing, but thought the guerra one was quite harsh....

How Guerra got 3 weeks for what he did is absurd.
Maximum off 2 weeks with a bad record, he got 3 weeks and he has had a good recent record.
I look forward to another incident of similar nature to see what the outcome would be.

There was one.. almost identical. Douglas cleaned rance up head high as he bent over the ball and got nothing

YES what a joke once again. When will the AFL do something about this rubbish?
