With this stat do they count out of bounds kicks from set shots and kicks clearly intended for a goal?

No idea. That would make sense and at the very least I'd assume it counts oob shots. The kicks that don't make the distance might be a bit too much of a gray area but :shrug:.

E: I would love to see what the difference to the Saints win:loss and % would be if they kicked at league average.

The crazy thing about Daniher is that since he had that 1 goal 6 game in round 6 he's kicked 22.4.

If he can turn it around so drastically then I have hope that anyone can. Of course, the Saints are pretty good when it comes to being bad at things so I don't have much hope.

Can anyone remember if the tribunal acts as a review or a full trial when sitting on an appeal?

If it's a full trial he has a small shot of getting off, if it's a review of the MRP decision they've done gently caress all to contest the original decision.

David Grace is a literal Tribunal wizard between getting jack Viney off and managing to get them to buy whatever his story was tonight.

I think no suspension is correct and consistent with what the MRP has done this year but boy I can't see how they arrived at it by what he was saying.

Hopefully they clear it up next year by saying intentional and high contact is an automatic one week.

Given Parker got only a fine for a far worse elbow this week, this is a fair outcome. If they had suspended Parker they may have had a leg to stand on, but this is the afl mrp so lol

Considering the guy made contact with his head I'd say there's thirty or forty guys a week who do worse by throwing their head back in a fair tackle but I might be somewhat biased.

AFL is appealing Houli's ban as not being long enough. To be fair whether he claims it accidental or not knocking a guy out the way he did deserves more than 2 weeks.

Also Garlett has also been ruled out in addition to Salem for the Sydney game, and Watts hasn't come up yet. Pretty nervous about Buddy getting a big bag if Tom McDonald is still playing forward.

Oh, good. I didn't know that. 2 weeks is what he would have got if the mrp had simply graded it careless, isn't it? Straight to the tribunal for them to decide it was intentional but still only worth 2 weeks is pretty ridiculous.
