Zak Jones, Hodge, Cunnington, Taylor Walker, Martin, Robbie Tarrant, Mitch McGovern, Jack Steven, Luke Parker, Nick Robertson, Easton Wood x2.

Working back from now and this is just to round 14. Punches to the body. All fined or suspended for 3rd low level offence (Hodge, so otherwise fined)

Need I go on with this body of evidence that shows this isn't consistent...
They were all considered low impact or careless so a fine. Intentional and medium impact or above and its a suspension which has been consistent, including another player this round. You can badmouth the classification system but you can't really argue it isn't consistent based on that rating system that is in place. As far as the rules go, one game is correct.

I understand how they've graded it, but that's the BS part. Will be very disappointed if they again knuckle under and accept the gradation.
If they do just that then may as well rest anyone decent, and bring them back week 1.

No issue with TH. Needs a kick up the bum for the ill discipline, being frustrated at being shafted by the umps is not an excuse.

Tiger time with the MRP results


Waiting for Gero melts...:D
Haha just saw the results. No Selwood, Hawkins or Duncan and a likely return for Riewoldt might help us get that elusive win.

Still, I'm not confident though. Same for the Saints game in round 23. Whenever we've been in good positions in the past, we've found a Richmond way to stuff it up.

I got super worried during the last quarter yesterday - could almost feel the yellow and brown steamroll right over us. :p

Disagree with you there. Clearly intentional and put Papley on his haunches so hard to argue it's not medium impact. Stupid from Duncan no one to blame but him. If you contest it all that will happen is he'll cop another week, I'd be highly surprised if Geelong decide to.

We'll lose to the Pies regardless so should.
Far be it being parochialism, check the court of public opinion, plenty without a vested interest agree that a week off is rubbish.

We cannot beat Buckley. Probably 2-3 wins since 2012..
Get killed on the outside every time and Grubwood gets away with murder.
You should be happy that the Selwoods get away with muder, they are your team afterall.

If you can't beat Collingwood, even with your outs I hope you have prepared yourself for your swift exit from finals.

Duncan should've properly belted papley if he was getting done for that.

Hawkins was always getting a week even though he didn't even get rampe in the head.
Reading other parts of the site. Papley getting crucified.
From our game at your place until first week off the finals.
So 5 weeks. Hmmmm.

lol. You blokes have been whining for 11 seasons now. Onya Joel.
We don't get guys back that are injured and we will exit quickly, we all understand that. Our fate is in the hands of the doctors and the pre-finals bye, which I hate.

Have you not seen our recent games against Collingwood and our finals performances since our 2011 flag?

It would be typical GC Suns to appoint Brad Scott. They haven't made many good decisions up there really

Suns: pass
Colours: pass
Jumper design: fail
Song: fail
First coach: fail
List Manager: fail
Second coach: fail
Free agents lured over: fail
First Captain: fail
NRL Star taken on: fail
Trade decisions: fail
Draft concessions usage: fail
