Just give them the flag now.....

And spare us wasting our year on false hopes on Essendon even getting near the MCG in September.

How the hell could that mongrel Scott get off, and how can they tell us they it was because of "Insufficient Evidence".

They got evidence from Twin Brother Chris - he probably laid a couple in as well!

The tribunal is a joke, & the AFL is a joke.

You sound surprised.

What can I say - I thought the tribunal would actually get some balls about them and suspend one of the thugs of the comp.

But then they just kept the same idea - if they cant see you, you can kill a bloke and get away with it. Yet you couldn't fully see Ben Cousins's effort, and he gets a week.

Is there any chance we can appeal?

I don't think you can appeal "non-suspensions." Wouldn't be worth trying anyway. The tribunal is stuffed, and everyone knows it.

I just hope we get this thing turned around before we play them again at Docklands. I really couldn't care less if the frigging Scotts get their come-uppance or not, I just want to beat the bastards in a game of footy.

Surely not...... terrorists have some good attributes!

I've decided that I'm staying in Moscow until the AFL has finally got their act together and decided that it's time to stop showing such blantant prejudice and bring things back to an even playing field. I might have to take out Russian citizenship as it could be a while.

How the hell did Scott get off? If he played for any other team he would have got at least 3 weeks; if he played for Essendon at least 5. When you think about it, we all knew he'd get off, because he was wearing a blue, yellow and maroon jumper.

You would think the AFL would realise where they've gone wrong after 2 years of favouritism towards this side (but they haven't).

I don't usually like seeing players get injured, but I am really hoping Brisbane's injury list is as long as Essendon and Carlton's put together from last year come September.

Grr. Cousins suspended for a week for jack **** (although later reprieved), and Scott gets nothing - absolute BS what was in the paper - something like "Whilst we don't think this merits suspension, we don't find him innocent." Well I'll be damned. I thought the purpose of the thing was to punish those they didn't think were innocent. Doesn't it defeat the purpose? If they think he's not innocent, goddamn suspend him.
