He was.
If they can override the relevant minister's decision to order the expulsion of foreign-born rapists, murderers and other assorted scumbags, they can get this over the line.
Amen. They should be saying thank you kind sirs every night before they go to sleep. It is quite stunning given all that you have mentioned that gratitude seems to be one emotion entirely absent from most of the women involved in the AFLW. I have not heard any woman state how grateful all female footballers are for the leg up given to their competition by men. Nor have they mentioned the fact that it is money earned by men that is supporting their non profit competition-money earned by the sweat. blood and intellect of men over 130 years of playing and running the game.
Like you, I am all for the girls playing but they are testing my patience with their neverending use of the gender card.
Well after reading this thread im definately in the minority didnt think there was much in the incident . Mind you i dont know if the melbourne player was injured from the tackle . And seems very harsh to miss a granny for that . This sling tackle is a very contentious tackle to adjudicate saw a couple of very similar incidents 1 with Zac Fisher having his head slammed into the MCG turf last night from a so called sling type tackle . Now lets see if there is any repurcussions forthcoming ? ..
Argue for changing the rule without using gender equity as the basis for your complaint. She never complained about the rule at the start of the season when it was in place. I would argue that paying female athletes when they are not drawing income into the competition as the men do is a far better example of gender inequality.

Why didn't they argue this point after the first reprimand? They were happy to accept it then
All getting a bit silly. Just cop the suspension and move on.
Standard set.
All tackles, arms pinned or unpinned, tackled player injured or ok,, offending player gets a reprimand at the very least.

Brilliant. I hope the outcome is we don't get another Barry Hall 2005, or Cotchin last year. Clearly seen the AFL hypocrisy and media outcry of a player "shouldn't miss the biggest game of his life over that" shite that's happened in the past.
Some points may have been mentioned already, but here is my two cents:
- Why are the Western Bulldogs going to the Human Rights Commission? Surely the first point of call is to work with the AFLPA and AFL to get the rules changed?
- There are a number of people calling for the rules to be changed to allow KB to play, sighting the men's rules are 2 fines before the suspension (I realise that this hasn't been the position of the club). If this were to happen, it would be manifestly unfair on the Brisbane Lions women who have adhered to the rules of the competition all year.
My thoughts are that she had a crack at getting it overturned via MRP, copped an extra week and then took it to the AFL to try and get it overturned. All well within the rules, and in GF week, absolutely worth having a crack. The next steps though should have been to accept the position, and then work with the AFL, in the off season, to change the rules, to ensure that this case doesn't happen again.
The Human Rights Commission should have absolutely nothing to do with this, and certainly not at this point in time.

For the most part Australian Rules men’s comps have the same rule as the AFLW so it is very difficult to see what the issue is.

Sorry, thought you meant the club media release that Wookie posted afterward. And no, I missed that post.

Because they will have made a whole lot of fuss over a player who didn't actually matter to the team winning.
(I don't have an issue with them challenging the ruling. Lets be clear about that. The way they have gone about it has... well, made them look like big flogs.)
Honestly!
We could only get through one season before this crap comes up.
Sexual discrimmination, human rights........fair dinkum.
What time is tha aflw grand final? Nah, I want to want watch footy to escape that sort of rubbish. I'll find something fun to do.
Well done KB and Western Bulldogs. If you lose you look like flogs, if you win you look like flogs.

What’s even more laughable is that Brennan has been used as a mouthpiece by the Western Bulldogs by coming out and saying ‘if I was a man this wouldn’t have happened’.
This has nothing to do with what swings between your legs or doesn’t Katie! It’s got to do with the fact you’ve been sanctioned ALREADY this year and you’ve done it AGAIN!
Peter Gordon and his cronies (surely Alberti has had a view on this) have completely overlooked the rules at the inception of the AFLW competition that players don’t be financially sanctioned, and now cried poor when the unthinkable has happened!
All this will do is lead to them being labelled a laughing stock by any reasonable person for playing this card and polarise the public even more.

Yes it should. If they violate the rules, bad luck.

End thread and give this chap a Brownlow (presented by Alberti)
They also get less weeks for the offences as well so it’s not all bad
Why is it a problem, the girls signed up to the rules & now a couple of well heeled legal types are on an ego trip, more political than footy related. Our game is being used.
Oh, poor Harriet.
Oh, poor Harriet. Hopefully she can get over her massive injury and after 10 months of recovery can come back next season.

Nah, hope they win and KB misses out of being a premiership player.

What's more amazing is that she's not a Collingwood player as it seems that in recent years, this only happens for Collingwood. The rules seem bendable for other teams.
