Mr Anderson said all matches during the 2010 final series had been played in great spirit and the AFL looked forward to a great contest this weekend.

dude i appreciate i don't have much cred on here (like 10 posts) but comments like this are rubbish.

this will also save 2 possibly 3 pie players from having the weekend off.

before you hit submit, think "how would i reply to a saints thread about jolly being saved" etc....

peace.

Does anyone know when they release the findings on who has to face what, I'm a little worried on Jolly after watching replays, I dont think Goddard would have much to answer for.

I am happy they didnt do the double demirits stupid rule anyone lets punish players for playing in a grand final.

There will be a meltdown is anyone gets rubbed out

Double points is the biggest load of sh!t of all time. As far as I know its not in the rules. Even that ****** Adrian Anderson said on SEN this morning that the double points in a grand final is a "silent" rule. What other silent rules are there then? Makes me so angry....

WTF is a silent rule??!!

Andreson is a twitt

Exactly my point....obviously its something they can enforce when they see fit....bunch of bloody toss bags.

A "silent" rule is kind of like an "imaginary friend", it doesn't exist, but in that persons mind they like to think it does.
