About a year or so back we failed to stand by Plowman, after a heavy but fair collision between himself and some other spud who stacked on the contact. Plowman was penalised in a manner that was seen as unjust by all but a very limited few.
A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to stand by Hayes for what was a genuine contest and an unfortunately outcome contributed to by his opponent, we didn't and he was penalised.
From what is being rumoured I suspect Cripps is going on holiday now until 2023, probably a good thing for us, 2022 is a loss anyway given no Vic club is likely to win an interstate final.
If Cripps is suspended it is no use Carlton or it's fans complaining, in fact doing any complaining will probably just show up our own hypocrisy and double faced standards.
We are either a team, or we aren't, changing our ways now seems rather arbitrary!
