    Spot on.

    In any case, i thought you could only get fined for contact with the umps (unless it's intentional)...can anyone clarify?

      That all seems a bit silly.

        What do we expect, the AFL is being run by a denture salesman and a failed lawyer. It's a wonder they haven't issued kirk with a writ.

        If the AFL administration want to turn themselves into a laughing stock, who are we not to laugh?

          They did but it was found to be toothless.

              What contact! When! I didn't see it. AFL twits have a lot to answer for. Get real, it would be funny if it wasn't so serious.

                  It would be ludicrous for Kirk to cop any penalty at all.

                    Two ridiculous decisions from the MRP.

                    Kirk is one.

                    The worst is Motlop's suspension for striking Hunter. How can anybody be held accountable for belting Hunter ??? Give him a bonus I reckon.

                      The replay of the incident was played "on the couch" Little doubt the contact was initiated by Mitchell illegally trying to break Kirk's tag; also little doubt that if Kirk gets a suspension the Swans will load up their QC who will get Kirk off and leave the AFL with rotten eggs splattered all over their collective dials. I'm lining up for the first toss.

                        This sounds about right to me. Stupid/short-sighted to cite Kirk without Mitchell.
                        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                          Yep, our QC will have little difficulty beating this rap going on his past victories.

                            Just saw the incident on Foxsports. What a load of garbage! Kirk will get off.

                              I saw that at the game and thought he would get a fine ala Goodes.

                              Is it too early to suggest that its just the afl after the swans again...? Bugger it lets run with that anyway.

                                Just reported on Fox Sports News.

                                Anybody heard?
                                Will he be OK?

                                Is there penicillin he can take as a precaution?

                                Grubby filthy things those umpires.
