Zac Dawson can accept a medal of honour for kneeing Jack Riewoldt.

That's a ****ing joke right?

 

[Reginald Perrin]

I didn't even see the Barlow incident. I thought Ballas would be the one in trouble for that.

 

[Harry Reems]

Maybe we should challenge the Dawson one due to the 97.5 carry over points? If he gets a week then so be it, it's only Brisbane so he gets a rest and doesn't have the carry over points.

Wouldn't like to go into finals with 97.5 points over his head.
Consider Brisbane may only be coming over with the likes of Martin, Close and Paparone (J.Brown concussed) we could afford to run with Silvangi and Kepler as key backs.

What grounds would they argue to get Zac off completely?

Insufficient force?

Insufficient force?

What's good for the Swan is good for the gander...

 

[Borry]

It's never ever the umpires fault that they are out of position, right.....

Same as half our board was saying earlier "He's a clumsy-uncoordinated-goose-with-NFI"

 

[Purple Suit]

I can't see how falling into someone's back is enough force. It should have been a free kick but it doesn't mean you then get reported since the umpires missed it.

If the Barlow one was contact with about 4:20 left in the second qtr, that's a joke. He was locked in with the Richmond player at the centre bounce and it certainly wasn't reckless.

I saw umpires being knocked down on numerous occasions over the weekend (inc the Ballas incident) and Mick is the only one fined??? Turn it up.

Hmmm... I wonder if we'll see any footage of the Barlow incident.

Jeez it seems like every week they pull us up for something nobody even had a clue happened. Getting pretty sick of this shit.

 

[slicedndiced]

Meh, Mick's got the money and it's probably tax deductible somehow.

Zac won't get off, silly act by him.

The Clinton Wolf defence?

He was doing it for the good of the game?

 

[basashi]

Barlow fined 1950 for failing to bow in the presence of one of Richmond's umpires.

 

[Borry]

It's prima donna nonsense. You wouldn't dare implement such a rule in amateurs let alone juniors, you'd get your head ripped off quicker than you can say 'you're on report'.

Umpires get out of position and into the way of players unnecessarily, and they must take responsibility for their own actions. Absolutely no need to penalise players who are affected by their mistakes.

 

[Freofalcon]

I'd pay two grand to recklessly contact an umpire.

I'd pay ten grand to kick Razor in the fig bag.

 

[Allikat]

We were discussing this at the Collingwood game yesterday. You know the umpires are doing it wrong when not only do you recognise them as they run onto the ground, but you know their name, their number, and they have a public nickname

 

[Borry]

Channel 10 have a lot to answer for...

 

[greatgatsby]

Wonder if the umpire who shepherded the Essendon player clean off the ball yesterday will be fined for "recklessly interfering with the play"!

Giving them a microphone was a mistake.

Not a bad tought, but also a bit of a risk to play without any of our three first choice key defenders...
