Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal
i put in a comment on The Age's Peter Ryan's article yesterday - pointing out that the AFL hadn't been consistent at all (despite Ryan's assertion to the contrary) in recent weeks and how had everyone suddenly gone quiet, dead quiet, on the May incident.

Just checked then - hasn't been allowed up!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Not surprised at all by that

Thanks Danger and good on you for looking after your fellow player in your role as pres of the players association and now defacto tribunal advisor.....
I wonder if Danger played for Carlton instead of Geelong if he still thought only fining the Curnows was farcical. Hmmm, I wonder!!
Flog.

Exactly. Its what makes Juddy head and shoulders above the rest IMO. Brilliant footballer but also an astute, well spoken and unbiased football person. As a Carlton person, he could have cut loose on TFS tonight. Instead, he was measured, rational and played a straight bat. Danger is a great footballer but thats about it.

Carlton football boss Andrew McKay: “I don’t think I should comment on that, and neither should Patrick.”

I like that from McKay, a very measured & controlled way of basically telling Dangerfield to STFU.  A bit more of that from certain other high placed officials would be good.

Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

Kind of the point I was trying to make.

Makes it even more of a disgrace that he had anything to say about it!

Chris Scott just on SEN. Reckons none of the touching incidents were worthy of suspension only maybe fines. Stated that there was low level contact between player and umps all the time which is not worthy of serious scrutiny. Deliberate and forceful contact is obviously a no no.
Reality always wins in the end.

Oh my,  a Scott discussing AFL decisions,  gees that's strange.  Wonder when he gets a "please explain"?

Sorry,  my bad,  the Scott's can say whatever they like, just like Clarkson ET AL.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

He's actually right in what he says though Wink
Free +50 would be sufficient for any of those in my opinion.
