[RossFC]

Nice!

 

[OneGreatClub]

After everything going against us this year Idunnobelieveit, but I am relieved and it's a fair outcome.

 

[TeeKray]

That is pretty lol really but good for us. In saying that, we are probably being prepped for a reaming on the Jonas incident.

 

[PepeSilvia]

We're going to win this week, I feel it in me bones.

Meanwhile, Ham getting shaken down like it's Godfather 2.

 

[Smithy7]

Robbie Gray will be on 5AA after 4.30 today

 

[Far Kern]

Great for us, really need him if the hit out count is 215 - 6 again this week, looked like a trip to me though. Robbie you are a very naughty boy. Lesson learned right?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Thank god!

 

[Us against the rest]

Make it so. Go Robbie.

 

[Portmanteau]

I've done that exact action in a game before. You plant your foot in one direction but the opponent goes the other, so you stick out the other arm/foot on instincts. Looks worse than it infact is. Good call.

 

[Chachi]

No surprise, nothing in it.

I honestly didn't think ths would happen. I couldn't see a severe penalty, just a reprimand and fine but because it would be the third a one-week ban would be in place. Thank you Mark LeCras for trying to play on and not falling over immediately, that looks like it swayed the MRP in deciding there was insufficient force.

 

[carnthemaggies]

good news - lifts our chances a lot. Such a clean player

Huge. Jonas can get 12 weeks now that's fine.

The umpire who reported Robbie is a *******

If that carlton player did not even give away a free kick for tripping DBJ (I think), then this is a fair outcome.

 

[I Dont Care]

Good. There was nothing in that

A lot of grandstanding in that report from Mcinerney was right after he copped a barrage of boos for a string of ridiculous decisions, he laps up the boos just as he did with a smirk walking off the ground after the final siren.

Liam Shiels tripping Lance Franklin was even more blatant and that wasn't given.

Agree, but I would use three less *s.

 

[Magus]

yeaaaa boiiii

I actually saw him on my flight back to Melbourne after the game.

Looked him in the eye and felt a deep, primal hatred which I didn't know I had within me.

As Llittle Lleyton was wont to say?

Shane McInerney: 400+ AFL game umpiring experience with seemingly not a skerrick of basic understanding of the game. I can't think of an umpire that least epitomises the AFL Umpires Association's core tenets of Respect, Integrity, Fairness and Trust.
To give him credit, no umpire runs backwards with the same degree of flare as this man.
