Re: halftime scrap

He was probably just annoyed because it kept them out of the post game showers for that little bit longer.

Yeah, but it would have given more time for Zac Dawson to fly over with a condom for a photo shoot.

Re: halftime scrap

We'll probably never now. I doubt we'll come out and ask for an investigation or any of the players will let it slip but one thing I'll say is it is not out of character. The guy is scum and has managed to have fall guys for every incident (that I'm aware of) he's been involved in.

What tripe. 'The guy is scum'. Please.

Sorry. He's a great guy.

Have heard a few stories which don't paint Riewoldt in a great light. I'm with G-Mo.

Well if you blokes have heard some 3rd hand stories, then you must be right about him.

Sensational guy. Obviously.

I could just as easily say well if you've heard nothing, you must be right about him.

Believe whatever you want to believe, champ.

Re: halftime scrap

I'm in the scum boat.

Character witness for Steve Milne sort of illustrates his character for me.

Re: halftime scrap

Hopefully just my eyes playing tricks on me but did anyone else notice anything 'possibly' untoward in the melee between Liam and Sam Fisher that might place Liam in some hot water ? If so, here's hoping it stays quiet from the Saints because I can't see the MRP acting simply on the vision of it.

Don't they review / watch every match and release a statement saying whether there was an incident they are investigting or that there is nothing to report? I must say I missed it.

Yes they do review the video although of course not all can be picked up.

Quite possibly there was nothing in it.

My concern at the time was whether Sam Fisher might've looked to lodge a complaint which fortunately by now I'm assuming he hasn't done. With Liam contending with three St.Kilda players over him at the time I could understand why he might've felt threatened.

If you have the melee recorded and watch towards the end of it where Fisher has Liam on the ground through to where Fisher is walking off the ground with his team mates you can assess whether there might've been anything to be worried about.

MRP Outcome:

Bulldogs forward Jake Stringer can accept a $1500 fine after he was charged with a second offence for engaging in a melee at half-time of his side's clash with St Kilda.

Teammate Michael Talia and Saints Nick Riewoldt, Sam Fisher and Maverick Weller have also been fined $1000 for their roles in the same incident.

Re: halftime scrap

I know I made a quip above about the infamous naked photo scandal of some years ago now but I don't agree with the tenor of a couple of comments above pertaining to the Milne case and Riewoldt making a personal choice to provide moral support for his friend.

I believe that Riewoldt's actions in the heightened atmosphere that developed around the trial were christian in nature and not tendentious.

I would be interested like others to know exactly what triggered last Saturday's half time melee. I really hope that no St Kilda players were so low as to mock the bad luck of our Clay Smith.

Pretty poor look from Riewoldt .
Even as a mate, making an appearance in a rape case is crap form
