If it was Judd again then their would be a mass meltdown, but hey it's repeat offender Thyrill.

If it was Judd the BF server would probably crash.

At least Judd admitted that he did something wrong. The Hawks will probably deny, deny, deny...I hate those brown and yellow *ers.

Carrazzo's and Bartel's uncharacteristic yes.
What did Bartel do?

That is ridiculous. Someone needs to review the bloody review panel because it's an absolute laughing stock. Either they fix the system and introduce precedent or they * off back to the tribunal only system.

REAL TALK Peeps....
Another diving little squibb who originated from that club with suspect culture....
The MRP
It's such a joke that people can ridicule it decisions without fear of the AFL having a go at them.
At least it's been highlighted and when Cyril does finally ruin someone's should they can look at his previous efforts.

To be fair to Bartel, Laird did dive forward when he picked up possession. Bartel did try to move out of the way and just copped him high with the arm.
Surely Carrazzo should get off, medical report should come back clear as Thomas played on the rest of the game. I don't think Carrazzo intentionally meant to knee him, he just accidentally caught him while putting on a bump albeit off the play.
The call to even have the Tuohy and Zeibell incident looked at is ridiculous. Just a bit of s**t stirring from Tuohy really.

Sorry guys, I'm going to rant because this has really pissed me off.
Judd's case went directly to tribunal, didn't even get shown to the MRP and he was crucified by the media and the general public. At least Judd had the decency to admit that he had done something wrong. He is now subjected to constant boos (which he doesn't complain about, take note Stephen Milne) and opposition supporters who want him to be 'knocked into a coma'. RIOLI, on the other hand, gets let off without a punishment even being considered, and I bet this will be met with "good decision" comments from every idiot and their dog.
I'm completely over the double standards and hypocrisy that are rampant in AFL. The MRP, Demetriou, Essendon, that stupid chief umpiring moron and every other dickhead who is trying to ruin this sport, they all make me sick.
I could go on but I'm supposed to be working and I'm about to get busted breaking the keyboard.

That explanation from the MRP seems to suggest that they didn't even look at the tackle from a 'chicken wing' perspective...
Doing a stellar job.

My faith in this competition is now hanging on a thread, and it will just take an 'unsatisfactory' Essada outcome to break it.
I find it unimaginable that any person can explain why Judd's action was deemed to be worth 4 weeks and Mr Overrated's action is worth nothing.
To my eyes, it actually looked worse. In all seriousness though I cannot recall a season as much of a shambles as this has been.
Drug cheating
MRP
TV broadcast quality
Ridiculous non-tanking fine
Lenient salary-cap penalties (IMO) for Adelaide
CEO, mid-season holiday
It's a ******* joke and have nearly had it .
Rant over.

The difference this time around is the media didn't conduct a hysterical witch-hunt against Rioli & the Western Bulldogs didn't squeal & sook like the North Entitlement Football Club did after the Judd incident. With so little noise made about this latest incident, the MRP could exonerate Rioli without fear of an outcry from the media or the Bulldogs.Sorry guys, I'm going to rant because this has really pissed me off.
