Open season on elbows now, Fyfe picked the right weekend to do his couldn't charge him and let golden boy off

Of course they could have, Fyfe plays for Freo and it is the AFL!

What's wrong with talking about shellfish?

Charged with saying "you talk like a girl". Wtf. The crazies have well and truly taken over the asylum.

Why should be calling someone a little girl be acceptable?

No wonder he couldn't get near the footy!!

Based on this evidence, I still have a shot at getting drafted!!

I don't think the players should be able to personally attack an umpire, and that's what it was.

Actually... don’t believe it’s PC you are complaining about, rather the terms of use of the site.

As for Cockwombling Numbat... it’s as child friendly as you could possibly get.

I think it's fine what the AFL and the umpire did. It's not like it happens every week, the umpire did the right thing to give a warning but the AFL needs to make it known to other players they won't just get a warning if they do the same thing. It would have been criminal to effectively give Essendon the match because of that. Common sense umpiring is a good thing.

The rule of not moving the goal posts is one of the few black and white rules AFL footy has.

Absolute free, or in this case 50m I guess. Essendon were robbed...not that I give a **** ha ha ha.

This. Regardless of what was said (and in all honesty, if you are going to attack an umpire, there are far better options available), you just can’t attack an umpire. EVER. (As much as we’d all like to at times).

Did Rampe say it to Eleni Glouftis?

Who was the Hawthorn player who climbed the post in a final to show the umpire the scuff mark where the ball hit it?

Was Hawks vs Ess from memory. Or maybe Richmond. Around 2001

 

[DJ75]

And no doubt get 2 games for their efforts.

This comp is a joke (as we all know). Tex would've been rubbed out for sure.

That d!@khead Christian has already suspended Walker multiple times for much, much less. The AFL have lost the plot completely.

Especially a personal attack which is what it was. It's worse than swearing about a decision because it was a personal insult. Absolutely no place for that.

Wasn't in play?

Actually it's not because it's worded as intentionally shake. So they have to interpret whether it was intentional and whether it was a shake.

All they need to do is clarify/change the rule to disallow climbing a post, regardless of shaking.

I don't see what asking Rampe for a "please explain" achieves. What - he's going to come up with an explanation that makes it OK?

Here it is. 1998 Round 10

At 24:30

 

[kirky]

Yep. Said last week they should have found him guilty, given him a week, then given a week discount for being a good bloke if they really wanted. Now they have no choice but to let him keep elbowing people in the face.

Be interesting if he does it for a third time this week for example and see what the response is.

He said "you talk like a little girl".

What if it is factully correct? Can you still not say it?

Very clumsy way of saying speak up you dill I cant hear you.

But he didnt call the umpire a girl.

I thought he was having a crack at his voice.

Yeah nah. Your drawing a long bow there. He shook the goal post by intentionally climbing it. Ignorance of the rule is no excuse. His action was intentional and involved shaking the post.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Surprise surprise Ablett got off. Time for someone to sniper him back

Ablett and Fyfe are covered under the "good bloke" rule. Any possible suspension is minimised as they are good blokes. Trent Cotchin got off in the 2017 Prelim because of this rule. It's the same reason why Luke Hodge gets away with what he does.

I think we can all agree his intention was to climb the pole, that is beyond dispute.

Was it foreseeable that by climbing the post it would shake?

I think if most people were told to go and shake that post they would go up to it, grab it with both hands and shake away, or they might bump or "hip and shoulder it".

Do you think anyone would start climbing up the pole?

He didn't just jump onto the pole he was trying to get as high as he could.

Abhorrent by the AFL in both cases of Ablett and Fyfe, but Ablett’s pretty much already been sniped his entire career.

Somebody’s intention could be to jump high on the mark, but if he unintentionally jumps over the mark, it’s still a free.
