Watching the Bullogs get the Richmond  treatment tonight

You mean going in dry with a ring of barbed wire wrapped about the tip?

[one-eyed]

Ready to be hurt.  Again.

You can’t possibly be serious MT
Comparing the two is absurd
If anyone went for this garbage I would never watch another game

First time I've seen the vision

Based on the lottery system that is the MRO it will certainly be looked at.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Wood cops a fine

Oh, red hot!  There is definitely a case here!  A week at least.  But Saad can't help being a soft little entitled mummies boy, after all he does play for Carlton ... 

$1500 fine down to $1000 with an early plea & admission of being a soccer player who signed up for the wrong sport ...

Damo, your trust in the MRO roulette system is higher than mine. As WP said, it will be looked at it because Saad went off.

It should be 'nothing to see here' but when previous football acts get a week such as bump where there's incidental head contact and no one got hurt or went off then anything is possible these days .

Mason Wood copped a $2000 fine.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Low Impact, High Contact.

Richmond player down = play on for 3 minutes until the opposition score and all ticked off by the AFL.

Another team's player (Moore) down = umps stop play.

The holds, scraps and bear hugs on Lynch and Jack being allowed is pathetic.

[TigerLand]

Thought they were ok up until last qtr.

Yes. I thought they were ok today

[mightytiges]

Seems the rule of the day is no free paid if you bend at the knees to attract the high contract. The Ginnivan rule.

Good. AFL should have done this years ago when they did the head duck thing. Same with lifting the shoulder etc.

WB game earlier this year there was one where the Dogs defender literally threw his head back before drawing the contact and I cannot believe that's not staging.

Ruins the game

Watching the replay I think we were given a lot of grace by the umps and the handful of north supporters there had good reason to be angry with their interpretation.

From the top of my head we were caught with the ball atleast 5 times and play on was called finally a team got to feel our frustration.
