Why won't the media point out the rubbish masquerading as the tribunal?

Probably because they have their noses in the trough as much as the players and admin. Betcha it's been years since Robbo paid for anything to do with football, free food at games, free entry. Why would he rock the boat?

If Joel Selwood gets off .... "I'll spew up".

How was Slobbo on AFL360 saying he should get off and sucking up to Chris Scott. It was sickening, I switched over to another channel.

There is nothing in Selwood's "strike". It's not dissimilar to Hunter's, more of a push than a strike. Hunter's should have been no more than a fine and neither should Selwood's. But just like Mitchell getting a fine and Cordy getting a week, if Selwood gets off the inconsistency will be glaring.

Agree. But we have not had any luck with the MRP of late. Anything borderline and we have been punished. If Hunter went for his and Selwood gets off .... I'll spew up.

Sicily is playing the role of a pantomime villain, thinking he is tough. Behaving disgracefully at the moment. The sort of stuff he is doing off the ball (trodding on downed opponent) should see him out for a few weeks. Not in play, not necessary, deliberate and unsportsmanlike.

I love how many people fall over themselves to make excuses for this dickhead, much like they do for Toby Greene.

Why can't we just admit these players are dickheads irrespective of how well they can play the game, and deride them because they are dickheads?

Selwood is a protected species .... “spewing up”

[SonofScray]

It never fails to plunge new, deeper depths of shoddiness. Just a joke.

He should never have been cited for it. What a joke of a suspension. Someone deliberately stands on someone and gets a week. Yeah they fixed the MRP this season. Lol

What a disgrace ! Hunter should have been cleared
So “ the look of the game” doesn’t matter this week ?
It did last week !! Chooklotto

We just took it on the chin though, we should have challenged. There was absolutely nothing in it at all.

[Hotdog60]

I think we should keep video evidence of all these players that get off and use it as our defence for simular or lesser infringements to get our players off.
If that fails leak it to the media.

[The bulldog tragician]

The decisions make no sense whatsoever unless you believe in a conspiracy of an inner circle of “good blokes”, clubs continually favoured by the tribunal and mythology about some guys as heroic and untouchable... hang on...

[angelopetraglia]

Imagine if Thomas had done the same thing to Selwood. Thomas would have got three weeks!!!!!!

Bailey Williams cleared contact Z Fisher. A free kick was paid at time for dangerous tackle. Match Review said while tackle was careless and free correctly paid, it was his view there was not enough force in the tackle to constitute a charge being laid. No further action taken.

[bornadog]

Luke Parker cleared from last night, so no charge to answer to.

[The Adelaide Connection]

Fyfe involved in a few incidents. One where he elected to bump and caused a head clash, the other where he knocked Carlisle out.

The latter was interesting as Carlisle was on the ground (head over the ball and wrapped up in a tackle) when Fyfe ran in and collected him with his knee. Accidental, but still knocked him out. Should it be careless or negligent as he has run into a vulnerable (stationary) player and collected their head?

I suspect the Brownlow market will keep him safe.
