The tribunal took all of 15 minutes to make the decision after hearing 2 hours of evidence. Probably made a cuppa and had a few laugh at GWS. They made up their mind on Saturday night. The AFL was lenient towards Greene after the Bulldogs game and when a player blatantly doubles down, as Greene...
Reckon the story here is that the AFL is sending a message to players. That the players no tell code doesn't count because they have sufficient footage of what the accused did but also importantly, their history. This also means a precedent is being set. Players cannot be trusted to give...
Saying that this bloke has got issues is an understatement. One week after being let off, the second week in a row and the second final he has played in....he does it again. This is not my opinion this is the finding of the tribunal. If you have any doubts also take a look at the replay after...
Absolutely happens every week. Last week Collingwood supporters booed him for something they didn't like for the entire game yet every time we play Collingwood he gets targeted and they have hurt him badly (I think it was a game a couple of years ago). This goes back to the Malthouse era because...
Varcoe using his body to lean into Rioli will probably make him sweat on the decision a bit this weekend and it will be looked at closely but likely to be OK.
I am merely pointing out that it is a common occurrence in the way that soccer is played and hence, the send off rule. The ref judges the severity and/or frequency of a player fouling an opponent in terms of yellow or red card. Soccer is a completely different kettle of fish to the way AFL is...
Please. The commentary with the likes of Brian Taylor, Richo and Dwayne Russell is already unbearable. Do people have any idea what it would be like with a sin bin? From a practical point of view it's not necessary as it the sin bin exists in games like rugby and ice hockey because they have...
Soccer players get punished for staging and have for a long time. I remember a player getting red carded during the 1998 world cup for doing exactly the same thing in the penalty area. I think it might have been Battistuta from Argentina and he was a star.
I'm just glad it was there for all to see. Prime time audience and all that because the media pump up his tyres no end and North supporters will remember he pulled the same stunt in from of goal that cost them 4 premiership points a couple of years ago.
Umpire used common sense in context of the moment. My guess is that the umpire was alert to and swayed by the noise from the spectators being close to deafening and the fact that the ball changed hands several times after the whistle seemed to confirm this. Awareness and common sense by umpires...
