It's not like he threatened someone with a chopstick.
FWIW the timing is impeccable. We are dropping a very important player for a winnable game for no good reason, AND it's a punishment that doesn't fit the crime which we don't see dished out too often.
You know when we sacked Robinson I backed the club. This time, I'm not sure. Daisy has enough credits in the bank where this seems very overeactive.
One of the few elder statesmen and influential mentors we have got on the sauce in public a couple of days before a game. That's setting a terrible example for the youngsters who clearly look up to Daisy.
The easy option would be to fine him. The best and harder option is to hit him where it hurts and stop him playing the game he loves. That sends a message to the entire list that we're serious about driving change and striving to be our best at all times.

I haven't heard this mentioned to much (apart from Terry Wallace) which seems a lot worse and he played finals
"Hawthorn Luke Hodge being busted for drink driving a week out from the AFL finals after "a couple of drinks" at a social function"
Whether we think the punishment was fair or not...
Peers sitting in judgement are often harsher and hold each other to higher standards.
Once the players had control of the punishment the club couldn't intervene and overrule them without undermining them.

As much as I respect that idea, I don't think it's that black and white Lods!
In the spectrum of participation, analogously AFL leadership groups sit somewhere between primary school and VCE, there will still be a guiding hand involved to some extent! So it's neither Lord of the Flies or Vladimir Putin!

Bolton says Daisy is not a certainty to return due to multiple reasons, form being one of them.

I think "form" in that context refers to the blokes in the 22. If those playing Daisy-type roles do well, he stays in the NBs. If they play poorly, he comes back in. No disrespect to Daisy, but I'd prefer to see him languishing in the NBs for a while ... but I don't think that's going to happen.
