So sad to see a good bloke have to take his punishment

Hmmm, understand what you are saying but disagree with their approach.
It is the whole issue of judging the outcome rather than the incident. Firm believer in the incident decides guilt, the outcome can be taken into account on the penalty
The sun has shone out of Son-Son's so and so - not guilty.

Walters headbuts someone and then gets off

Why does our club seem to just accept these bans all the time? Reminds me of the ridiculous Kane Cornes suspension some years ago when he shoved Sam Mitchell over at a stoppage and the club failed to get the suspension over turned. Are we worried it'll happen again? Is there a bias against us? We just cop these on the chin. Howard should be playing this weekend.

It's expensive to challenge. And without knowing the stats, I'd suggest our record at the tribunal would be close to league worst.
We just don’t have the vocal media support all other clubs seem to enjoy when facing the MRP
Missing players can cost us wins though, arguably a worse financial situation in the long run. This very thread has dug up several similar off the ball hits this year which were deemed fines, most of which also did not need to be challenged.

Yeah. We could've rolled the dice on Dougal and gone for low impact. It's a bit of an unfair system really in that it penalises poorer clubs.
Needed to challenge the Howard one **** me.
Because the AFL charges $10k for it to try and prevent frivilous appeals.. And they randomly decide to refund the clubs the $10k.

Even so, both of them are a bit unfortunate that their surname isn’t Dangerfield or Ablett - they would have got off.

No suspensions but its not a showdown with out a fine or two. My fear Saturday night that Christian might find something and we would have a suspension or two like after the Cats win.

Ben Cunnington has been fined for the fourth time for striking someone.
Yeah, removing the three fines and you're suspended was a great idea.

Is the Hartlett fine the elbow to his head when they were on the ground on the wing?
The Dougal fine is embarrassing...seriously soft.

That Dougal charge is pathetic. Seriously pathetic. Why didn't the umpire pay a free kick if it was a reportable offence???

And dougal’s classified as intentional while Brodie smith’s bump 30m off the ball gets off as careless.
