Missing a final is more effective than public shaming. Bet Jimmy pulls his head in if he has to miss a qualifying final.
Not even mentioned in their report.

Of course not. Geelong players are allowed to kick opposition players in the head, elbow them in the throat, punch them in the stomach. Do you really think the AFL will tell them off for a dive?

No tears champ. I am just someone who is hopeful our game doesn't turn into soccer with players diving all over the ground. The game has enough issues atm, without players flopping around.
Clearly you are happy enough to have players dive around, i just think it is a terrible look.

The Thomas dive was mentioned in the report for that week.
It should have at least been in the report saying it had been assessed
Way to misinterpret my post, wasn't implying it should be mentioned, was just summarising the report for those who hadn't heard yet.

Reminds me a bit of Steven Gerrard. Serial diver, but never gets scrutinised because he's this English warrior, champion of the game etc.
Meanwhile Ashley Young goes to ground and it's apparently the worst thing that has ever happened. Reputations always precede, sadly.

Agreed. Personally I'm a bit frustrated that it wasn't. I would love to know the reasoning behind it's absence.
It gets harder and harder to trust in the MRP, when they bow to public pressure in one incident and assess it, but when another happens in comparable circumstance they don't even mention it. Consistency in any part of the MRP process would be nice.

Fair enough,sorry.
Just assumed it was another Hawk whine.
Are you one of those rare breed that doesn't whine 24/7 even if you win ?

When Lindsay Thomas does it: disgrace, revolting, immoral
When Jimmy does it: clever, savvy, gamesmanship,

Yep as long as you aren't getting carried away.
Didn't hear anyone call Thomas immoral or revolting-more just that he is a serial offender of stupid dives.
Didn't hear anyone say Bartel is clever, savvy etc -most people seem to agree its poor form( at the least) and he should have copped a mention and a fine.

So the stuff the fans actually want to be penalised like staging are let go, but ridiculous offences like an "accidental head clash" gets weeks. Sad.
