On both occasions, Williams was a dill and deserved what he got, Plowman we all know has been debated to death and opinions vary. I searched for a list of suspensions for recent seasons and couldn't find any but I'll bet we dont figure prominently in those figures. I think we need to removed the Blue Goggles when we look at these things, look at the presented reasoning and be objective. I'll say it again for the sake of it, the notion that the AFL, through the Umps, MRO and Tribunals, are out to get us is utter nonsense IMO.
Yes, I tend to agree. I don't really understand those who seem to be on 24/7 injustice / unfairness alert. If you've spent time on other supporter forums, there is a subset in every supporter group who will swear that they have hard, objective evidence that the AFL / umps / media hates their team and is out to get them. I've had to stop discussing this with my Richmond mate because we'll end up falling out. He claims (quite correctly) that the Tigers have one of the worst frees against record, I've told him that maybe those free kicks are warranted. That never goes down well.
