We always seem to be on the wrong end of these calls. Selwood stuck his hands into someone's eyes last week, buddy hit someone high again, thw same action by two other players in the same week attracts no report. What's really going on here?
Yes, that’s my opinion too.
I wouldn’t mind the penalties handed to Plowman and Williams if there was some consistency.
We’ve debated the Plowman incident at length and I think that there’s some agreement that he was going for the ball but braced for impact just before the collision. Flogarty had no intention of going for the ball and crashed into Weitering after he had marked. The impact was severe enough for the doc to check Weiters and, perhaps more importantly, the incident is not a good look for footy.
I don’t think there’s an anti-Carlton bias but I do believe that the MRO and tribunal operate on an ad hoc basis and are influenced by the status of the offender.
