Aggression and Peter Wright in the same sentence makes me genuinely laugh. The last guy in our team to be aggressive.

There was a clear intent to go for the ball and then protect himself while in the air. He doesn't do that and both players are knocked out. It's a contact sport and accidents happen. It wasn't malicious.

It does set a precedent because clubs will now do the same thing. Why would clubs be willing to accept bans? Just appeal the whole ban and the player is free to play.

That sets a precedent for any ban

That’s a bad hit. I think it’ll be 3 or 4 weeks.

That's a standard Sydney vs Essendon finish. We were too s**t to get close to them so the umps took it out on the other sash. That's 100% 50m. We had a similar one paid for us vs Fremantle earlier in the year. "Commonsense". Please. Making it up as they go.

Can't be suspended for that. Wasn't even a sling tackle.

The head

Zerk-Thatcher. Here is the incident:

That's such BS. If that was the case, then sides like Fremantle, Melbourne and Port would be up there too.

You know what I changed my mind after re-watching it. I'd be livid if I was a Brisbane fan.

Nah many of them were soft. Brisbane had a clear run for the first 3 quarters with frees that led to scoring opportunities. Geelong got the run in the last quarter. At the end of the day, Brisbane have themselves to blame. Too inaccurate and inefficient when it mattered.

Did you only watch the last quarter? Many of Brisbane's goals came from free kicks/50m penalty. Brisbane lost because they were far too inaccurate and left their run too late.

Yeah the technology itself works because there wouldn't have been any doubt if it was in place. Just because it wasn't available yesterday doesn't mean you have to get rid of it everywhere like you're proposing. The goal review technology has been really good this year when it is available.

I think the introduction of the goal review (especially with the edge technology) is fantastic. The controversy behind yesterday's game shows that it works.

Nah we may call upon Rance to teach us how to do it in the modern era.

This is why the best way to stamp out staging is by addressing it on-field there and then. Charges against staging are way too inconsistent to ever act as a legitimate deterrent. This is why any player that milks or stages shouldn't be rewarded with a free kick. The umpires should be able to...

How's that a suspension? Lol. The AFL make s**t up as they go. For one game, they argue it's the consequence of the action that counts. In the next game, they argue it's the potential damage the action may have caused that counts.

Hahahahaha. Richmond supporters are hilarious. Staging is what your players did. Grimes and Vlastuin. Also, maybe you need a reminder that Lynch broke his right hand not his left hand. Keep clutching at straws. Three dirty players cited in the one game.

1 week suspension

Well there you go. Everyone except Richmond fans can see they staged.

About time. Should be suspended.

Not only that, but Lynch broke his right hand. Hurley slapped his left hand.

Looool. First of all, Hurley slapped his left hand. Lynch broke his right hand. It's clear you're just interpreting it as such for your own narrative to try and justify the fact that Lynch yet again struck someone off the ball. If Lynch wants to protect his broken hand, then maybe he shouldn't...

So you can't admit to the diving? It's not going to change the result of the game. The club won't suddenly be penalised for your admission. Richmond have been saying Dangerflop and duckwood for years. Time to look in your own backyard. Except cancelling our goal was a defining moment. Instead...

Ok you smashed us. Can you please tell me what the margin was? 50 points? 100 points? Or 12 points?

I'm not saying we were the better side. I accept that we're s**t. Just accept that Grimes and Vlastuin dived to suck the umps in, which directly influenced the game.

Would you take that efficiency to West Coast next week? Doubt that. I'm saying we're s**t yet you still needed umps to win that. Bad kicking is bad football. Walla had his goal taken away from him and Richmond scored at the other end. 12 point turnaround. We already kicked 3 in a row before...

What does it matter if your team can't kick or spot a target inside 50? And what does it matter when you have to rely on the umps buying into the flopping to win it?

I thought your midfielders were pretty good for Essendon as well. Knew how to spot an Essendon player. Obviously umps deserve full votes for Richmond though. Fantastic performance.
