Deserved the week. It was crude, deliberate and silly.

I got no problems with that ,but there is no consistency at all Floss got knocked out gf  doesn't remember a think  and Danger gets off.

Its perfectly consistent from Shocking.  If you play for Geesook then nothing to see here.  If you play for Richmond you'll be suspended to the fullest extent of the system.

why is everyone surprised. Shocking's comments about our club re: rule changes says it all really

True

SHocking has ruined game, that's why the game is stuffed

[camboon]

There is something fundamentally wrong with the leadership of the AFL
It’s more like a Political Party than an administration for a football league

It’s got worse since they appointed Hocking and Christen as they appear bias to me

But wait there's more  .





Both called 'play on' .

Pickett got suspended due to the AFL arguing about "potential" of causing serious injury yet Rampe doing a spear tackle off the ball and dumping his opponent head first into the turf is all nothing to see here and play on   .

[Diocletian]

Take the Shocking and the rest of the bastards to court...it's basically like a corporation deliberately sabotaging one of it's own franchisees for making too much money...

Is there any action the club can take if he doesn’t get off?

You can go to the AFL appeals board as Carlton are doing with Plowman.


Clubs are only able to appeal AFL Tribunal decisions if:

* An error of law has occurred.

* The decision of the Tribunal is so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it.

* The classification of the offence by the Tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate.

* The sanction imposed by the Tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate.

Carlton risks a $5000 fine by taking Plowman's case to the AFL Appeals Board, with $2500 of that refundable should the defender ultimately be successful in his hearing.

Pickett: What I want others to learn from my mistakes

Marlion Pickett credits his family and football with helping him recover after a jail stint. Here’s how he turned his life around.

I wonder if Marlion Pickett ever had dreams of being Australia’s greatest ever songwriter?

Paul Kelly wishing he could play footy and do a blind turn like Marlion:

Despite the Tigers’ constant struggles on the night, Pickett never stopped trying to lift the team.

He was lively right throughout the match and finished with an AFL career-high 24 disposals, a team-high 11 contested possessions, five marks, six intercepts, three inside-50s, three tackles and a team-high 522 metres gained.

Pickett has played 13 senior games for Richmond this season and is averaging 16.6 disposals, 4.1 intercepts, 4.1 tackles and 295.9 metres gained per match.

[Andyy]

Was very much one of his best games for us.

Tough man. Tackles hard. I sure as hell wouldn't pick a fight with him. And his movement in the wet weather was excellent.

[eliminator]

His game was one of the few highlights. He deserves alot of credit for how played.
