Re: Daisy charged for striking Laidler! - can accept 1 game suspension

I don't understand why folk want the club to contest the MRP's decision
Daisy cops a one week ban if he takes the early plea. He's not going to get off if we contest the charge and the best outcome is a reduction of the two week penalty to one week.
I'm all for challenging if the MRP gets it wrong but this is the wrong battle to fight.
The charge was contact to the head, if they can prove its not to the head and to the chest say (which is what it looked like to me), then I say go for it (ie get him off on a technicality). Its just standing up for ourselves against the AFL, we always get bent over and gladly assume the position. In other words, we may get bent over, we just wont assume the position and provide the vas.
