They won’t take any action against Dave Matthews as he’s one of them. Worked with them at City Hall. Appointed to the Giants by City Hall. And upset that City Hall didn’t go by the script the second time in a row.

The big error in all of this is that they stuffed up the Bont eye gouging. The AFL should have appealed that result as the penalty was too lenient, but Steve Hocking and Andrew Dillon fixed up Michael Christian who must surely feel shafted with all of this. He did the right thing to refer the Bont incident direct to the tribunal, but when the league’s footy ops made sure the prosecution only went for a fine, Christian was made to look a real dill.

Dave Matthews’ rant just highlights that he’s just like the rest of them inside the AFL.
