Wellingham very lucky to only have to sit out 3.

Thankfully for him he has a good record due to never going near a contest in the previous 5 years.

Made his Debut in Rd 6, 2008 - so effectively hasn't played AFL for 5 Years - so really, might as well say he has a 10 year great record.

Sets the precedent. Break a blokes jaw and get 3, whilst the dude with the broken jaw misses 4 - 6.

Makes sense....

I hope someone breaks Sharrods jaw, and puts him out for the same amount of time, and then listen to that fat ******* retard Eddie squeal....

Not Wellinghams fault he gets 3 weeks, would you say the same thing if he got 5?

I realise it's not his fault it's the precedent set by the AFL, and it's flawed system.

If he missed the same amount of games as Simmo, then fair enough, play on.

If I was a club, and I knew I could break Dane Swan's jaw and only get 3 weeks, I'd send someone out with a good record, who you wouldn't necessarily miss for 3 weeks and "unintentionally" do it, the week before the finals.....

And you think the AFL MRP system is flawed?

[Coach Bombay]

3 weeks what a joke. Walker got 3 for his tackle. Welling Spam should of got 5

He did get 5.

[Dirko]

And you think the AFL MRP system is flawed?

You're missing the point.

The AFL has said it's OK to do what Wellingham has done, and the maximum you'll get is 3 if you're in the same boat as him.

The system is flawed.

I think it would be a flawed system if the punishment was based on the weeks out for the recipient.

[CUTTERMAN]

The whole system and it's consistency is a disgrace....disgrace....disgrace....disgrace echo echo echo

[The Sleeping Giant]

I thought Wellingham would get 6, reduced to 4. Nothing to get to upset over cutterman.

[CUTTERMAN]

Sure but when you boil it down 3 weeks for breaking a jaw in that manner isn't a good look for the comp. It's a mad woman's breakfast.

[Turbo]

Thought the same but oh well.

[The Sleeping Giant]

More than likely be "rewarded" with a trip to Arizona, so he can come back fitter than before.

[kickinit]

should of gotten 3 brownlow votes for that.

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

Can't wait to read the MRP "justification" for only a 3 week ban, beyond his previous good record. High contact, intentional contact, front on contact, reckless, forceful contact, all these must have added up to more than enough for a 6 week holiday.
Particularly when White from Richmond recieved the same penalty for his head-high bump against Melb.

White was reported twice in that match. Copped a reprimand with carry over points for first incident with carry over points, do they get added to the second incident?

[CUTTERMAN]

They didn't see it as intentional
