    Surprised by the reaction to Cripps pulling hair. Folk see, happy to laugh it off, or unbelievably, use it as a chance to have a crack at Baz.

    To me, while not especially dangerous, it’s a real prick act. Cowardly stuff.

    Feels lucky to get just that. It’s bullshit behaviour that creates rule changes. I’d be comfortable with a free kick and 50m penalty in that situation. Basically a shot from 45m as a penalty.

    De Goey straight to tribunal and looking at 3 weeks, unless he fronts up wearing a carlton Jumper

    Or a Melbourne jumper. Kozzie Pickett's action in round 1 was 10x worse and more dangerous - but no concussion so doesn't matter to the AFL.

    If Courts were AFL, a guy intending to murder someone with a gun would get off completely if the bullet missed the body. 'No harm done here, carry on'.

    De Goey will enjoy a mid season break in Bali.

    WOW. If that's the new standard...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    I dunno, I haven't even seen the incident but I just kinda 'knew' DeGoey would be suspended because he's 'suspendable' if that makes sense? Like he's got a bad boy reputation and he's not 'persecuted' like Green so he's a good target to make an example of but the next time Pickett goes to knock someone's head off the rules will be applied the same as normal.

    He also got suspended because it was a suspendable offense.

    Like that matters most of the time. Worst case if you're an AFL sanctioned star you get a week or two

    Let's play MRO lotto with Bont. Surely nothing, but that's not how the MRO works.

    What do we think the outcome will be?

    Nothing. It'll get looked at but that's it.
