Guess this belongs in the match thread. Mumford cleared, Johnson offered 1 week:
AFL MRP & Tribunal on Twitter: "Steve Johnson has been offered a 1 match suspension.
Gary Rohan, Jordan Lewis, Luke Hodge, Steven Motlop, S Mumford cleared.
More to come."
Cheers, i'll stay this time and play nice with @AnnieH as long as she plays nice!

So we lose a key player for the next game from a sling tackle and that thuggish oaf gets off? Even after declaring during the week he will go out and mame a few swans players?
Really?
And Johnson offered only a week for a thug act?
Remind me again why i bother to spend so much time with this code?
BTW I really dislike Mumford..I hope he gets snubbed by the players at the 2022 reunion.
and received a politician worthy response of not saying that it was a mark, but "look, if the umpire had paid that as a mark we would support it".

The Patton one was right in front of us and I did think it was a goal watching it live, and was surprised when it was called back.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
We assumed that it must have been for a high fend off at the ground and I didn't twig it was because of incorrect disposal until seeing the clip on Whistleblowers.
Whilst we're on things I missed- can anyone fill me in on the 50m penalty against Wilson that resulted in a Papley goal? It looked like he was shoved in the chest by a Swan, shoved him back and then the whistle was blown straight away? Did the commentary mention anything beyond that?

I am OK with it being a goal and GWS being unfairly done by. What galls me is they wouldn't fully admit they got the Heeney calls (mark, free kick) wrong, nor did they say why there was no free kick to Kennedy for being taken out in the head, nor why no free kick for dangerous tackle by Mummy.
Biased selection of decisions which favour GWS and defends the umpiring. So what if Patton should have gotten that goal? They won by 30+ anyway. But Kennedy taken out of play for 20 mins, and then being below his best, and the Heeney call when we were right in it? They wouldn't want to admit to how their umpiring had a major impact on the result of the game, would they?
It's obviously extremely frustrating, but with Joey in particular I can actually understand how the umpires may have missed the initial impact/high contact. I would have liked to have heard some discussion on whether they view the tackle on Kurt as a free or not, if they believe it was a dangerous tackle then I think it's a poor miss from the umpires.

Johnson reacting to the indignity of being suspended for the prelim.
