MRO needs to be replaced

He is too heavily influenced by the media

The Vlastuin one is just blatantly wrong :banghead

Correct- Vlastuin was clipped across the shoulder and head.

Vlastuin exaggerated it, I don't think you can deny that, there was high contact, which was minor, and perhaps Nick was unsure whether the umpire was on the right side. The problem is this a regular occurrence, which happens to varying degrees, and this goes in the minor category because he actually received high contact, not like Tom Papley who shot up into the air like Surgei Bubka after a slight push to the hip

Lloyd on Footy Classifield showed 4 examples of staging in recent weeks and two were our opponents - Port's Woodcock who just swandived with hardly a nearby Tiger touching him & Rankine in our game against the Suns laughing as he got up for conning the ump.

This is the argument used by the AFL in Toms hearing last night:

“The image shows Hurley throws his head back and immediately clutches for his throat. The immediate response was spontaneous, if there was no contact to his throat it suggests it was a somewhat miraculous piece of quick thinking. He had a millisecond.”

Now if that’s the argument the AFL has used to describe that incident doesn’t the exact same thing apply in vlastuins case? Geez the AFL bring the criticism on themselves.

The disgusting Bomber supporter that sent the threats to Grimes via social media has been arrested.  Good news
