MRP / Trib. Joel Selwood CLEARED over striking Flog Thomas

[Tony Barber]

And surely it's the media's job to point out incidents within a game?

Gee if it was a hawk player I bet you wouldn't have an issue.
Tell me how the mro found the Sicily incident. It wasn't media. And that wouldn't have been easy to spot.

You can't get away with anything these days. The afl have too many resources.

 

[Stig_90]

Wait... Did something good just happen for us at the tribunal? How did this happen? Are the foundations of the game coming unstuck?

What's next?.. A Hawthorn player actually getting an appropriate suspension?!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Bloody good journo.
Best new journo we've seen for 20 years or so.

LOL.
He's a muppet.

 

[Pack Specialist]

Troll ^^^^^^

 

[iameviljez]

You can't be serious.
You honestly think the afl weren't going to examine every moment of that scrimmage?

Yeah there was some similar (and hilarious) dipstick who called up SEN complaining that their commentator brought up the Selwood strike somehow convinced that this was what drove it to the MRP. LOL, as if Michael Christian wouldn't be poring over every frame of that fight that followed.

 

[iameviljez]

Christian has already outstayed his welcome.

On the back of one referral? That's probably a bit much. Silly of the AFL to make it one single person, though - creates a fall guy.

 

[iameviljez]

I don't think this is fair. We can't bemoan people saying it's ok because he hit a Selwood then seem to be gleeful about it in reverse.

I am being heavily tongue in cheek, for the record!

 

[calder_daddy]

Today is a great day to be alive.
J.Selwood free to play and respecting our service men and women.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day

Now that's just being ridiculous.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Thank **** sense prevailed at the tribunal proving Michael Christianson(?) is a flog. Of course, Sicily got a slap on the wrist. Hawthorn are such a protected club.

Not just the Selwood incident. The entire five rounds has been a shambles.

Do the morons in SA realise that Ford and Holden have both left Australia for dead, and plenty of people have lost their jobs. Taking delight in people losing their jobs is seriously poor form. I understand the effect of people losing their jobs is an increase in the unemployed and more people will be in a similar position to 99% or Port supporters, and they feel like they are in a growing group of individuals.

The muppet is denied access to Boutique, and states" Dont you know who i am, i am Sam Mclure"
total deadbeat

And of course many of them would have worked at Holden in Adelaide. Watching the game for the first time can't help but think that they are shockers and with their booing nearly as bad as Hawthorn supporters.

Hasn't yet shown to be more consistent.
Commend the improvement in transparency though given decisions are now explained.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Lindsay Thomas apologised to Joel, so how can he the

In Honour of Down @ KP im calling on the Mods to come down hard on ANY port posters

Also Spazz Cat - has a day off

 

[steady2]

Christian now looks stupid. A judge being overruled on appeal always looks stupid. He will be out for blood if there is a next time Joel's name is brought to his attention.

 

[JackFlash]

Michael Christian is in way over his head....monumental blunders on Monday! It's not a one man job!

 

[cats_09]

Feels like this is one of the longer single focus threads going around - at least this year

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Welcome back Spazz Cat

 

[Spazz Cat]

Welcome back Spazz Cat

Cheers Kitty, good to be back!
I'll come back on later to melt over the team selections!

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Selwood bought this on himself. He knows he is being watched, and he should know not to go too near opposition players. He only has himself to blame.



This is what I copped every time I defended Stevie J when he got rubbed out.

Yes he had a history but what was the single worst thing he did? Nothing serious i would guess.

Bowled over Kennedy in a final. But he was playing with GWS by then. lol

nthing much. No player lost more that a couple of minutes after getting bumped.
