Should staging carry a greater penalty?

[The Punter]

The yellow card in soccer is given for "simulation", which means acting if something has happened which did not occur.

Not accentuating contact. I wouldn't have sanctioned anyone for their conduct over last weekend in this regard.

Up to umpires to be smarter, but we already ask them to do way too much. Soccer refs don't have to judge intent, which just leaves them to call what they see.

Fair play to the tigers supporters admitting Rance dived.

I thought Oliver should have got a fine for his dive last year against WC aswell. Get that s**t out of the game.

It's too difficult for our already incompetent umpires to adjudicate on. Just start rubbing the repeat offenders out.

 

[maskmcgee]

Yes

yep

MRP to issue staging bans or manipulating the game

Personally I would have banned Selwwod until his knees strengthened and no longer put his head at risk

 

[Hollow Knight]

I would just rather they apply it consistently rather than closing their eyes when “icons of the game” stage multiple times each match.

 

[freddy mercury]

If anyone should be punished its the umpires for getting sucked in.

Daniher is a discrace to the sport, a life ban would make it clear to all not to stage.

You have serious obsession - seek help.

This is the saltiest thing I’ve ever read, and I have read books about the history of salt.

He was just getting their attention

 

[NetworkNerd]

Surprised he got off with just a fine. Thought Uncle Steve would have had some input

 

[Redline]

I support players being fined for staging but Daniher is very stiff to be singled out. I see that level of staging a couple of times a game.

Uncle Steve build a rod for his own back this week by getting Nephew Joel off for eye gouging and punching prone blokes in the head.

Then Joel Selwood should be hung drawn and quartered

That used to be quite the spectacle ... maybe they could see tickets?

 

[ApplecrossWC]

$1000 fine for Daniher is a joke. Should get a week off.

AFL need a Shooting Stars award presented at the Brownlow

Not punching... it was Joel's fist pushing back someone's head as per AFL website..

 

[Call Me Cake]

How much is a goal worth? $1,000 appearantly.

Remove scores that result from staging and make the penalty $10,000/week off and you'll never see that s**t again.

 

[kickazz]

It's possible that umpires may not give you legitimate frees for a while due to "reputation". That's a pretty good punishment.


Stiff penalties for out and out fakery I agree with. Exaggeration, not so much. Sometimes you need to help the umpire see the opponent is cheating.

 

[Hollow Knight]

So you want them to change the clearly legislated penalty without notice?

Moronic.

The only two I can really remember being blacklisted by the umps are Lyndsay Thomas and Michael Walters.

I wonder what they have in common that distinguishes them from other chronic duckers and stagers who still get rewarded by umps?

The big difference with ducking for example is that it is or at least can be a legitimate way to try and avoid traffic or avoid a tackle. You can duck but be still legitimately playing footy.

Falling over, etc is not really of any purpose other than to con an umpire.
