Luke Parker suspension

[Ludwig]

Cerra's tackle certainly looked worse to me too.
But Cerra is a blue jumper, Parker is wearing red and white and there lies the difference.

You could be right. Red and White attracts attention. We should change our jumper colours and get a fairer go from the authorities. I've written a new theme song for the occasion.


Cheer, cheer the blue and the black
Now that we look like the Dogs and the Cats
Swans will be flying high in the sky
Out of the view of the umpire’s eye

Throwing the ball and never be found
Smashing their heads into the ground
We can do whatever we want
We own the tribunal

In my view, your funniest post all year

This is funny....but the fact is, no matter the colour, the Swans will always be from Sydney.

Back in the early 90s, there was talk of changing colours to NSW blue. Would have lost just about every Victorian based fan I reckon.

I'd like to think our South Melbourne roots will never be forgotten. Perhaps the A/VFL needs a reminder every now and then.

Cerra has been cleared. Just as I thought the tribunal was doing a great job of stamping these tackles out, they go and introduce some fog.

Sure, Hickey's arms weren't pinned but the nature of the tackle meant he couldn't use them to protect his landing. And there was undoubtedly a slinging motion. Having the arms pinned is only one of the criteria previously applied in determining whether a tackle is dangerous or not.

I would be surprised if it wasn't the tribunal and it wasn't the AFL.

The consistency that seemed to be building (even if arguably overzealous) just burnt completely.

VFL boys strike again.

Yes when they moved to Sydney my dad said if they changed their colours he would stop supporting them. He bled Red and White.

They only see us in our current form....the enemy.

Bloods nickname came from the colours and from the term, Bloodstained Angels. Sacrosanct.

Have Red and White blood flowing since forever! Nothing comes close to our Bloodstained Angels……

[Ruck'n'Roll]

I think it's time for my semi annual Red and White origins rant - if you've heard it before, feel free to skip this post

The Bloods nickname came from the colours, the colours came from Albert Park.
Which means every red and white jersey with 1874 printed on, simultaneously celebrates and denies this teams origins.
Probably the most economical example of Doublethink I know of.

OK I've got it out of my system, normal service will be resumed - until next year when I fear some marketing poo-for-brains decides to copy the Sait's and celebrate a sesquicentenary. at which point . . . .

Just watched the highlights of our great win against Carlton again.

While I acknowledge that Parker's tackle probably warrants a week off, I cannot for the life of me see how his tackle is worse than Cerra's.

Ditto. At the time I was astonished, and not a little p%$#@ed off Hickey didn’t get a free. It was a clear slinging motion.
