Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal

We may also have a problem with umpire contact...on two occasions. ::)

This is going to become really interesting. There needs to be ‘degrees’. Sicily, going out of his way to front the umpires and swear at them in what looked like an aggressive ‘out of control ‘ manner AFTER the siren, is far worse than Hawkins or Curnow. Also, vision from the NB vs Frankston game showed umpires twice place a hand on a player. Non aggressive of course, but are they the same rules???

The problem for Ed is that it follows a week straight after the Hawkins incident.
They're likely to give him an extra week just because 'he didn't get the memo' not to touch them :(

Ed is gone IMO, that was worse than Hawkins.......
Cripps will need to play a blinder for us to win IMO.......Oliver would be my Goddard this week...the kid really sooks when he is roughed up....

I give us a chance but Melbourne will obviously start favourites...I'd expect Kennedy to replace Ed....with maybe Jack a rough chance to play...

Any more than a fine will be an unfair outcome IMHO.

Ed didn't remonstrate and in no way was it worse than Hawkins who was staring at the umpire and was likely to have belted him had it not been for a GWS player pushing him away.

Even if it's the same as Hawkins, Ed will get far more because he plays for Carlton! :o

He'll get at least as much and probably a bit extra because after the publicity of last week you just would be so careful not to touch them.

The umpire was moving into Curnow's personal space. Curnow was moving away. It was a defensive action. Hawkins moved towards the umpire and was remonstrating. His was an act of aggression. THEREIN LIES THE DIFFERENCE. The media has made it all about touching the umpire which is too simplistic.

I fear the longer it takes to hear from the MRP the worse things will get for Ed, because if they thought it was trivial and minimal they would hand out a fine or a week off immediately.

It has to be that way, at least a fine but most likely a week.
