If umps treated him the same way they treated Gawn, he would have had 15 freesPeople blame the crowds, but at the moment there is no crowd, it's the opposition officials and coaches talking in the media that influence the outcome more than anything else!
Last season Melbourne bitched and moaned about Gawn's treatment at the hands of various opponents, Dimma is continually complaining about how hard done by Dusty, Cotchin or Riewoldt is, despite those three being some of the biggest offenders. Clarkson was always banging on about Buddy, or how we didn't want players like Hodge prevented from attacking the football. Scott never stops bleating about the treatment of Danger, Ablett or Selwood, they need protection.
At our club, guys like Murphy, Cripps, Fisher, Kreuzer get illegally smashed week and week out and it's crickets!
Surely, yesterday with Gawn in the absence of crowds, added to events like Dangerfield's Curnow commentary, tells us this isn't a crowd problem!
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
