Bump!


Dustin Martin, Richmond, has been referred to the AFL Football Operations Department for determination under the Player Rules after making a gesture to the crowd during Saturday’s match against Collingwood at the MCG..

Dustin Martin facing a fine after gesture to Collingwood supporters

August 25, 2015


DUSTIN Martin is facing a possible fine, with the AFL's football operations department investigating a gesture he made to Collingwood supporters during Richmond's win at the MCG on Saturday.

After running into an open goal in the last quarter of Saturday's game, Martin raised two fingers to the Collingwood cheer squad.

The midfielder and teammate Jack Riewoldt had earlier come in for some attention from the Pies cheer squad, with some members seen to give them one-fingered 'salutes'.

The AFL announced on Monday afternoon that the Match Review Panel had referred the Martin incident to the League's football operations department for determination under the competition's player rules.

Given Martin was found guilty of making an offensive gesture in Richmond's 2013 elimination final loss to Carlton, when he made a handcuffs signal, he now faces a $2500 fine for a second offence, which could be reduced to $1500 with a early plea.

However, Martin will have to pay $2000 on top of that fine, with that amount part of a suspended two-year fine imposed by the AFL for his 2013 handcuffs gesture.

Dustin Martin shouldn’t be punished for his gesture to fans, says Mark Robinson

Herald-Sun
August 25, 2015


IF we’re talking about cultural symbolism, then Dustin Martin should escape penalty for his two-finger salute to his friends in the Collingwood cheer squad on Saturday.

Up yours, he basically said, as he waved two fingers towards the black and white lunatics.

And for that, he’s into the principal’s office, which is the AFL football department.

Perhaps instead Martin should’ve borrowed Adam Goodes’ imaginary spear, because we now know that’s not an issue for the AFL.

Goodes’ dance and throw down was a cultural thing, despite it being only a couple of years old.

The old two-fingered salute was also a cultural thing, a national treasure until the single-digit salute came along.

The raising of the middle finger ruined it for everyone because it went from up yours to eff you and soon enough players were in trouble.

Matthew Richardson was fined for $5000 for raising the finger to the crowd, as did Nathan Brown at Richmond, but Richard Colless, then the Swans president, got away with it when he raised his middle finger to the TV camera in a message to Collingwood president Eddie McGuire.

This is a minor issue, but the Goodes incident makes it a curious situation for the AFL.

I fully supported Goodes war dance, thought it was terrific and was delighted the AFL looked at it likewise. But others didn’t and in the end it divided a nation.

The Martin stuff surely is banter.

Some Collingwood cheer squad members said Martin started the so-called fight by raising the two fingers and they responded in kind and en masse.

Sorry, but don’t believe you.

That Martin’s gesture has been referred to the AFL football operations department means a fine is forthcoming.

If that’s the case, Martin has every right to feel unfairly punished.

Imaginary spear versus two fingers?

Confrontational and misunderstood versus banter and laughs.

The list of dos and don’ts on the AFL behavioural list makes for interesting reading.

You can high-five the crowd, even touch the crowd, even charge at the crowd (thanks Michael O’Loughlin), but not show them the finger or two fingers.

You can hug the crowd (thanks James Hird), but don’t cross your wrists, which is symbolism for a friend in jail (thanks Dustin Martin, Andrew Krakouer, Brendon Goddard and Michael Gardiner).

You can do the double cobra (thanks Levi Casboult), but you can’t do the “shotgun” (thanks Mark Williams).

You can call Essendon players dopey, as a player at Greater Western Sydney did, but can’t call them dopers and heaven forbid if you pretend to inject something (thanks Sam Mitchell).

There are rules and regulations for everything.

We all know Martin shouldn’t have bit.

But what of the Collingwood fans?

At the weekend, they were face of Collingwood and the footage went around the nation.

If Eddie thinks that’s cool, then that’s OK.

But all in all, it wasn’t a good day on and off the field for the Collingwood army.

blobbo must have stole the copy boys homework i think, one of his better articles.

The reference to the spear chucking is pretty obvious and it will be interesting to see if it gains enough publicity that the AFL actually try to clarify how trying to intimidate the crowd by throwing an imaginary spear is ok and giving a two fingered salute is not.

I'm still waiting for Eddie to come out and somehow justify his feral cheer squads behaviour

Tiger Alex Rance believes Collingwood fans almost crossed line with verbal abuse

Ronny Lerner
The Age
August 25, 2015


Richmond defender Alex Rance believes Collingwood fans came close to crossing the line in their heated exchanges with Tigers players on the weekend.

Sections of the Collingwood cheer squad were seen hurling abuse at the likes of Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt during the Magpies' humiliating 91-point loss at the MCG.

Martin and Riewoldt gave as good as they got and the former is likely to be fined after being referred to the league's football operations department for dishing out a pair of unsavoury hand gestures to some Collingwood fans.

Rance said he loved the passion shown by footy fans but insisted there was a limit to what was acceptable behaviour.

"I think they definitely approached the line," Rance said of the Magpies faithful.

"It's an emotional, physical game and if they feel like they're helping their side then I think they're well within their rights.

"The supporters are definitely colourful and they make the game what they are.

"I love the passion all supporters show but there is definitely a line there that supporters and players don't necessarily need to cross.

"I know Richmond have got some beautiful passionate supporters too so I'm sure other people will be asked the same about us."

If the Collingwood cheer squad were doing to Goodes what they were doing to Jack and Dusty they would have been removed.
