Mummy, downgrade - 2 week ban - swans consider appeal

[Xie Shan]

One week at a time also saying its a joke. Most sensible statements to come out of the three of them in a long time!

Hehe... Quarters even reckoned that the MRP should be fined $20k for the charge!! He *should* be OK, but crazier things have happened.

Does anyone know off the top of their head approximately when during the game last week the ROK tackle was? Would like to go and have another look at it.

MRP = Mindless Ridiculous Pricks.

They'll deadset ruin football with these types of idiotic decisions. Hopefully the Tribunal has more sense than the dickheads that sit on this panel.

For those watching the Saints/Blues game, early 3rd quarter Hayes has just dumped Murphy in almost identical circumstances.

In other words these halfwits are influenced by who the recipient of the tackle/bump etc is. When the tribunal does the sensible thing these fools should be sacked immediately for bringing the game into disrepute.

Swans should definately challenge, it was his shoulder that was driven into the ground not his head

and I thought the AFL and umps would stop screwing us over when BBB left, seemed to be going alright there for a while...

[Damien]

I just watched it again and even without the ROK comparison, it's not reportable. I am going to be very angry if the tribunal don't throw this out.

I thought a great tackle, pinned him and then rolled him, if this is not allowed what can you do? It is a joke. Not a spear, just picked him and rolled him over.

And right after the commentators had been wetting themselves over Ablett's being so "strong through the core". We cheered.

[ash3]

Just watched it, can't believe it even got a mention.

[Molly dooker]

Inconsistent to the max, incredibly blatant that it's the Ablett factor that has caused this and as a few on here have said, this is going to do nothing for the reputation of AFL espescially in NSW where they are trying to bring in another team.

You can imagine all the League supporters screaming about how it's a no contact sport and the comparisons to the "divers" in soccer.

Bloody good tackle in my books but what would I know, I've only watched the game for nearly 50 years!
