Where is everyone here who was condemning the AFL a couple of weeks ago for being 'anti Sydney'?

Lions Blame 'The Moose'
Hmm Lions blaming The Moose for Goodes getting off.
As much as they try to build a rivalry, nothing can make up for the fact they look like Hot water bottles on the field. Maroon is a shocking colourYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat!

I think you need to read the story again Reggi. It is the reporter, not Brisbane that has alluded to Moose possibly being the reason for Goodes getting off.
The reporter actually raises a good point. In cases like this things not only need to be right, they need to be seen to be right.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Considering last year's escapes as well as last week, Goodes was extremely lucky to get off. I've seen far less offences being treated far more harshly by the tribunal than what they have meted out to Goodes in the last couple of years. That's being honest and realistic.Comment

Steven King kicking Jeff White in the face at a ruck contest surely has to be the benchmark when considering "protected species" status at the tribunal.
And if Lethal considers we get a good run from the umps, then I would hate to see how many free kicks they would pay against us if they were more 'balanced'.We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.Comment

It is just a but too much of a coincidence that a guy, who at times can be a bit of a hot head, was very frustrated and didn't hit another player, when it looked like he did to me but the footage was inconclusive, and it just happened to be that the ground was really, really tough (yet no other injuries as far as I am aware apart from this obscure one?).
I agree with the article that they should have a more dynamic roster so that there are no perceived conflicts of interest.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

Why was he frustrated? The game was barely a few minutes old.
And both Jack (twice) and Mattner came off the ground looking pretty dazed after their heads made solid contact with the ground. Jack didn't come back on the ground after the second time.
And Adam didn't "get off" last year. He pleaded guilty and was given the sentence that applies to all players under the tribunal rules, taking into account his previous lack of any convictions.Comment

That's a good point liz, I completely forgot it was early in the game.
And god forbid a Swans should do something wrong!I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
