Fletch Gets 2

[Smokin_Joe]

HOW ****EN INCONSISTENT CAN THE TRIBUNAL GET.

brodie holland get 2 for punching williams in the face, but fletch gets 2 for hardly touching him.

I hope we meet the pies in prelim and ****en murder them.

I've gone ******* mental.

Stick it up 'em bombers.

GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! !
It's bad enuff Fletch gets rubbed out during the H&A, but why (why, why, why, why, why) does he ALWAYS do something reportable in finals????
Whether he's "all arms and legs" or not, there's no excuse to be leaving the ground and colliding with an opponent in the way he did.

If Tredgay goes bananas and kicks 7 goals to win the game for the chokers, I hope Fletch apologises to the rest of the team and to all Bombers supporters for his stoopid actions.

OK, now thats outta the system, what the Fu@k is going with the AFL regs about TV networks not showing replays of incidents where a player has been reported????
Hopefully the club appeals on the grounds that there was no way Fletcher could get a fair hearing after Gary Lyon (and Ed's other media b!tches) crucified Fletch before a report was even laid...

The whole tribunal is an absolute joke. The sooner set penalties are introduced the better...at least that way there MIGHT be some consistent verdicts

I thought he maybe should have got 1 if he pleaded guilty or not but 2 really is a bit much and especially since its in the finals. I cant believe got the same ammount of weeks as Holland. What a disgrace!

are they appealing it??

Silly boy, was always going to be in trouble after making contact to the head. With his record he was never going to get a week unless he pleaded guilty. Be interesting to see what happens if the club appeals.

What's sh@t a lot of people off is Hollands getting 2 weeks for a far worse offence, and he's no angel wrt priors either. HAd he got his right whack of 4-5 there'd be no problem with 2 for that.

The other thing that intrigues me is that attempted striking/tripinig etc no longers appears to be a reportable offence, witness Pavlich on Bolton, Holland on Williams. If it's no longer being reported it should be written out of the rules. If it hasn't been, it should be enforced.

3 years in a row we go into game 2 of the finals without a superstar

 

[BomberGal]

*Homer Simpson voice* Urge to kill...rising....rising...rising...

WHY must he keep doing this? Worth 2 weeks or not, I wish he'd just keep his arms and legs out of the goddamn way...!

 

[Fademan77]

he'd be pretty useless as a full-back then, hey?

Its their JOB to get in the way

 

[bozza]

I've had enough of this ****ing ****. How the **** can the tribunal give someone who punched someone fifty metres behind play the same penalty as some who collided with somebody, not even worth a report. This is the biggest disgrace. I'm not saying Pavlich should have been reported but his offence was far worse, these umpires have no ****ing idea. When are these ****s that sit on the tribunal going to learn a thing or two about the game, they are a bunch of ****ing ****ers. Gieshen & Collis should be ****ing hung and quartered.

I thought that it was a reportable affence really.

I just heard on the news and I think it was that Essendon is going to appeal Im not sure.

Hopefully they can reduce it to 1 at least.
