When is something going to be done? Our treatment by the MRP has been a joke.

Agree. Absolute disgrace.
If that was Judd they would have thrown it out. :
That MRP have prejudices against certain players (ie ALL Richmond players).
AND they seem to judge in favour of interstate teams.

Does anyone know the stats in successful appeals vs unsuccesful appeals. Can't remember a successful appeal.
It almost feels that the AFL hate to be wrong (or the structures/processes they create) and this appeal process is nothing but a time wasting joke to all clubs.

Amazing that they sent the investigator to gather evidence for King to be charged by the MRP. Thought that *smile* only happened with incidents where video was lacking, like Selwood's? If the AFL wants to get you, they'll get you.

Re: Jake King (Merged)
I am ok as long as there is consistancy.
Pre game McGrath was the aggressor, apparantly King is not supposed to retaliate, King retaliates and misses a week.
Third Quarter, McGrath the aggressor, contact to King face (eye), King does not retaliate, free kick reversed.
Same game same umpires, why wasn't McGrath sited for the third quarter incident?
It seems there is little chance of suspension if there is no blood, and almost certainly if the infringed player does not go to the bench.
Using this formula players should know not to make head/face contact as these are more likely to cause bleeding, which is automatic benching.
We have seen many incidents go unpunished,Waite for kicking, punches to groin, last game Edwards king hit off the ball...all with no blood and player stayed on the field of play.
So be physical, be aggressive, but also be smart.......King was not smart, punch to lip = high percentage chance of blood.

McGrath admitted he & Kingy were jumper punching each other, if thats the case surely he gets a week as well ????

Re: Jake King (Merged)
I don't really understand why more wasn't made of King's poke in the eye. If it is true that now the MRP are judging severity of a crime on its outcome rather than intent then surely an eye is more sacred than a cut lip.
Why wasn't THAT investigated. Both the injuries (seem) to have arisen from incidental contact during a scuffle.

Last night on AFL 360, someone tweeted late...not word perfect, but the implication is correct....It is not the offence but the person.
Seems that is the way it is for Tigers who slightly digress. Yet Waite got nothing for that disgracful donkey kick.

Re: Jake King (Merged)
it was this quote from the story that made me think he probably wasn't doing Jake any favours:
"His fist came up a bit high and caught me on the lip," McGrath said.
and this one to a lesser extent:
"He's just one of those players who gets under your skin," McGrath said.
i guess in the course of his full evidence given he was trying to downplay the incident, point made

Re: Jake King (Merged)
I think (and hope) that the contact to the eye was not intentional,I reckon if King's eye area was actually blleeding then McGrath would have been reported and missed at least one game possibly more.
But no blood/King stayed on field/no case to answer

Re: Jake King (Merged)
the free wasnt againt mcgrath, another lion got involved, and on the telecast the umpire could be heard telling mcgrath the free wasnt against him.
i think the lion was looking for a pressure point, steven seagal style.
