AFL Match Review Panel – Round 10, 2012 – King’s Royal Trip
Friday nights match lived up to everyone’s expectations, it was a cracker. We even saw the guys that make James Brayshaw go a little bit harder then he does with other players, Jake “The Pushup” King and “The Tiprat” Stephen Milne. They came into each others varcinity on the wing in the game. Milne had the ball and he went around King and King was unable to do anything to stop him but throw out a leg and just catch him, tripping him up. This will surely be looked at and if he goes, Jakey will be in trouble. He has about 70 carryover points and I believe about 50% loading. Unfortunately for the happy Tiger fans, it doesn’t end there. He could also have a strike looked at behind play.
James Kelly will have his bump on Toby Greene. It was a classic front on bump and you would have to think Kelly will likely have an extended rest, especially as he has 90 odd carry over points. Hawks maybe happy with Buddy’s 13 goals but will be sweating on bumps by Jordan Lewis and Shaun Burgoyne both are touch and go if they will go for there incidents. Eagles will sweat on a Beau Waters bump on Jack Redden and a Darren Glass bump on Super Sub Josh Green. Waters also has about 90 points of carry over points.
Then we move to Leroy Jetta. Apparently he heard that you don’t win a Logie on the back of one great performance, you need a body of work and he went one step further this week. Not only did he go down throwing his head back, without contact, trying to win a free kick, but he also stayed down and showed he could work with other actors by staying down and having the doctors come out to make sure that he was okay. You can expect that the Match Review Panel will be sending him their thoughts on the performance. Not wanting him to win in a land slide, Ryan Crowley had his own performance and we will see if the MRP give him a letter of acceptance into the “Best Performance by a Footballer in an attempt to win a free kick”.
So we wait for the Match Review Panels findings. Have I missed any big issues? Let me know in the comments.

Other incidents Assessed:
Contact between Richmond’s Jake King and St Kilda’s Sean Dempster from the second quarter of Friday’s match was assessed. The ball was being kicked into the Richmond forward line to player Robbie Nahas when King blocked Dempster from going to the contest. It was the view of the panel that King’s actions were not excessive or unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
Contact between St Kilda’s Stephen Milne and Richmond’s Alex Rance from the second quarter of Friday’s match was assessed. It was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
Contact between the Geelong Cats’ Jimmy Bartel, the GWS Giants’ Dom Tyson and umpire Matthew Leppard from the third quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. As the ball was being bounced by umpire Leppard, Tyson and fellow GWS Giants’ player Sam Darley were seeking to block player Bartel from reaching the contest for the ball. Bartel is moving towards the ball and he loses balance as he jostles with Tyson. As umpire Leppard heads backwards after bouncing the ball, his foot is entangled with the legs of Tyson, at the same time as Bartel is also falling towards the umpire. It was the view of the panel there was no negligence on behalf of the players regarding the contact made with the umpire. No further action was taken.
Contact between the Geelong Cats’ James Kelly and the GWS Giants’ Toby Greene from the third quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. Greene is bending down to pick up the ball while Kelly is coming towards him from the opposite direction. Kelly makes high contact on the Giants’ player and a free kick was paid at the time. After viewing all available footage and receiving a medical report from the GWS Giants’ it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
The actions of Essendon’s Leroy Jetta during the second quarter of Saturday’s game were assessed. The panel said Jetta had the ball and was trying to avoid being tackled as he prepared to kick for goal. Melbourne player Joel Macdonald dispossessed Jetta with an attempted tackle and Jetta exaggerated the contact by falling backwards as he went to ground. The panel said that while Jetta’s actions were exaggerated, it was their view they were not excessive in nature and he did not feign illegal contact. No further action was taken.
Contact between the Brisbane Lions’ Mitch Golby and umpire Ben Ryan from the end of the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. Golby briefly put his hand on umpire Ryan’s shirt sleeve when talking to him at the end of the quarter. The umpire did not pay a free kick for the contact and did not report the contact occurring, as part of his review of the game, saying the conversation between the pair was cordial at all times. It was the view of the panel the contact made by Golby did not interfere with the umpire performing his duties. The assessment of the panel was that there was minimal to negligible contact and the action was not in any way demonstrative or threatening towards the umpire. No further action was taken.
Contact between West Coast’s Darren Glass and the Brisbane Lions’ Josh Green from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The ball is loose in the Brisbane forward line with Green and Glass coming towards the contest from opposite directions. As Green takes possession of the ball, Glass braces for contact. It was the view of the panel that player Glass had no realistic alternative way to contest the ball. No further action was taken.
