Do we remember a few years ago Toby Greene was out drunk and punching on with anyone who would look at him sideways?Comment

MRP: Johnson offered one-game ban, Mummy in the clear - M.afl.com.au
Careless
I say deliberate when going for a player with the ball and u hit the head
Sure we all came from an era that u smash people off the ball - fairly
But if u roll the dice and miss that's ur problem not the recipient
Loosing Kennedy for 20mins at that stage of the game was smart by the Giants --- very smart"be tough, only when it gets tough"

heheh I am tempted BUT I dont know what my wife and daughter will think about a grown man going out in the early hours of the morning to paint some slogans. I mean they already have to put up with my AFL ranting at home LOL.

By clearing mumford they are basically telling him he can get away with his thuggery for as long as they are in the seriesChillin' with the strange QuarksComment

Without mummy GWS are average TBH and GWS wont make it to the dance, much to the disgrace of a certain stakeholder who happens to be El Patron.
Hope that clears why mummy hasnt been suspended even though Tippett damaged his jaw and will miss out on a final from an illegal tackle.
I swear i want to drive down to docklands tonight and in massive fluro industrial spray paint (takes a long time to remove) cross out the AFL and paint FIFA next to it and then write Mike "Sepp Blatter" Fitzpatrick all over AFL HQs.Comment

I have had enough, because the swans are such a professional outfit, well run and should be held as an example on how to run a successful club, but our brand is being tarnished by a small group of blokes from yesteryear with strong associations with unethical clubs. Then these same clubs are held high by the fanbois who work for the AFL media.
A few weeks ago when we signed the 3.5 million $ deal with qatar airlines, Andrew Bolt wannabe Rita Parahana wrote a pathetic article slamming the swans for the deal due to qatar issues with homosexuality and us playing in a pride game. Lost on this pig was the fact the club she supports is so unethical it makes most of its money from setting up pokie dens in poor areas. Plus it was another chance for that racist pig to use her News Limited dog whistle.
And now an artificial club with zero true fanbase (go read the stories of GWS fans..most of them used to support us or another club) has been given so many concessions and is being looked after by its number one stakeholder all for the sake of profits that will only be seen by a select few.
I have had enough tbh.Comment

This is all pretty consistent with most final series, and frankly fair enough, you want the best players out there. I think however the precedent set with Johnson is hard to swallow - if you were playing Geelong, think there are those that would look at that decision and think that's a price they'd be prepared to pay to take a Dangerfield out of the game.Comment

It is remarkable how they could state that his head didn't hit the ground. You can even see there is a gap between Tippett's waist and the ground because he was on an angle.
I saw that the 2 hawk players got off with the "insufficient force" excuse yet again. How many times has that been this year? Yet the Geelong player received a fine for the little tap to Cyril's stomach because he fell down like he was shot!

I have heard in the past since the trade ban fiasco that his nickname is actually Mike Fitzblatter!

No sin bin or red card here, so you give away a free kick and 50 meters at worst on the pitch, and you remove a $600K+ player from the game, maybe from the next few games as well.
Avoid a major ban by targeting the knees or ankle, rather than going for the head. Or go kneeing them like Mitchell did forever until there was enough social media outcry that he got a fine.Comment

Do people seriously think Johnson tried to knock Joey out with his shoulder? I know the guy is great at working angles, but that's pretty flattering to think he could line that one up.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

It's simple really. There is an incentive for teams to copy the NHL. Send out your interchange player who is a bruiser, and take out the opposition best player.

Straight out of the "Kevin Sheedy Manual" on how to play finals. Our biggest flaw is we dont have anyone ballsy enough to take a suspension for the team nor are we a club that has that @@@@ty bastard edge and win at all costs type mentality.Comment
