    And:

    Humphery-Smith also confirmed the MRP sent out two separate press releases with different grading.


    This is exactly what I was getting at last night. This clearly shows they have engineered the decision for the lowest possible outcome, realised the lowest actually created an error, then switched it but kept the same penalty. If that's not blatant tweaking of the system to suit Hawthorn, I don't know what is.

    Conclusion: Low Impact
    Photos can be deceptive old mate. Years ago the Football Record had an action photo each week without a football in view. The competition was to cut the photo out and put a cross where you thought the footy was and send it in. I think the prize was a Sherrin. The pic with the footy was posted in next week's record. It was very hard to pick where the footy was.

    Spot the Ball competition I believe it was called.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    You caught me out, mate. I was just showing off my Photoshop skills. The original photo showed Rioli on the ground with Oliver standing over him. Not bad, eh?

    I love Roili. Everyone loves Rioli. He certainly doesn't get a bad rap. The effusive praise he receives may not even be excessive, but just relentless and boring.

    To he honest, I think the penalty on Rioli was fair. It's just that whenever there seems to be a benefit of the doubt to be given or not given, Hawthorn always seem to get the benefit. It was a good week to make that point.

    OR: a typo/clerical error was made in the first statement released (note the phrase "low impact to the body" is used later in the statement when referring to an incident involving Blake Acres), and when this was realised the statement was corrected and re-released.

    When something could involve a stuff-up or a conspiracy, stuff-up is nearly always the correct answer.

    And further to this - the bump could had been penalised (with the exact same financial penalty) if the MRP HAD determined it was a bump to the body - but that the bump was unreasonable - see words from tribunal booklet below. The booklet then goes on to describe circumstances in which it might be ruled 'unreasonable'.

    I really do think it was simply a wording error in the first statement.

    "It should be noted that even if the rule relating to high bumps does not apply (for example in the case of a bump to the body), a Player may still be guilty of Rough Conduct if his conduct was unreasonable in the circumstances."

    Humphery-Smith hasn't been an AFL umpire since 2003 so hasn't umpired under current tribunal/MRP guidelines. He is effectively saying that this incident should have been graded at higher than 'low impact'.

    But there is plenty of recent precedent for the MRP to base the level of impact on the effect on the 'victim', taking into account whether the player had to leave the field for treatment or could play on, and taking into account the medical report from the victim's club. In this case Oliver was able to get up and play on - and the MRP had a medical report from the Melbourne club.

    Humphery-Smith seems to be arguing that these criteria for assessing impact level should be changed - but as they currently stand the Rioli decision is consistent with previous MRP decisions.
