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.
I'm with you on this. Too many bang on and on about this.
However the media on the other hand.....they bias is much more questionable
We got 50/50 decisions go against us early against crows but then the umpires seemed to enjoy as much as the crowd Cripps run 30 metres before kicking a team lifting goal. Calling that too far and having the goal disallowed would have been very deflating and was worth more to us then the soft frees crows got early.
If Walters is allowed to do the same this week when game is in the balance and crowd goes mad we will be wanting an inquiry.
