Two Hits on Riewoldt not picked up.
We will see the bias against St.Kilda as far as the tribunal after this weekend.
In the first Quarter
A WCE clearly (in camera) charged and took Roo out of a contest. The WCE had no eyes for the ball and his only intent was to get Roo.
I haven't looked at the replay yet to see who it was. Roo did not even get a free kick from the green gimp McBurney.
In the same Quarter
Roo again was punched in the stomach by Hurn as they were flooding back up the field. This was clearly behind play and shook up Roo, so it clearly was intentional with force and behind play.
Now we will see the uneven playing field.

stop being a whiny wuss
two wrongs don't make a right...think about the ramifications if all these things got picked up and players were rubbed out
the victim attitude among saints fans in general is deplorable
yes we got ripped off...whining about others doesn't change that and if you really want the rules enforced so that every single player in the league gets ripped off every single week, you'll end up watching vfl sides at the dome

Sorry CarnSainter, I for one will not accept that oppostition players can do anything they like against our players (how many examplres do you want?) with impunity whilst ours go for any minor infraction.carn_sainter wrote:stop being a whiny wuss

All we want is a level playing field and what is illegal for our players to do to be illegal for our opponents.
It may well be a 'victim mentality' on my part but you go explain to Ball, Hayes, Riewoldt, Kosi etc why they can be used as 'crash test dummies' and Baker can be rubbed out for attempting to jumper punch?

so, let's rub people out for soft, off the ball indiscretions...?SaintWal wrote:I like to see tough football and would hate it taken from the game!
if it's wrong - as we all know it is - for bakes to have been suspended, then how is it right to do the same thing to everyone else in the comp?
and Mr Magic - i'm not saying they can do anything they like against a sainter, but that they shouldn't get rubbed out for rubbish nothingness like baker was

I qualified my post the first time. It is not about the hits it is about the inequality of the playing field.

Bewaire krime, da krimson bolt is comeing to yure nayborhood to smach krime
SHUT UP KRIME!
SHUT UP KRIME!
I sort of agree with carn_sainter here but I fully understand the frustration that leads to these sort of calls.
While it pisses me off no end some of the decisions we have to wear, I am sick and tired of the undermining of what makes football a great sport.
If they were consistent based on their decision last week they'd be a dozen plus repots from last night's game.
Is that want we really want?

if it means reporting everyone, then so be it, the rule will get changed.

Agree 100%Dan Warna wrote:I want one rule for everyone.
Dan, my issue is the subjective nature of their decision making. More and more I feel I am watching the WWF (or whatever it's called these days) rather than a sporting competition.if it means reporting everyone, then so be it, the rule will get changed.
Their nonsensical interpretation of 'duty of care' in Baker's case opens a Pandora's box of interpretations if they apply it consistently. TBH, I don't know what's worse, their subjective application of the 'rules' or the remote possibility they might apply this interpretation consistently.
Either way they are screwing with what makes this game great.

I think if they applied the rule consistently, the greater footy public would be outraged and demand some action.
As it stands, they apply these rules inconsistently and insidiously and are allowed to get away with it, leaving a few teams reeling at huge suspensions and scratching their heads at bizarre interpretations.
If they intend to apply a rule at all, they should apply it across the board and have the courage of their convictions to try and justify to everyone - if they can't then they should change (or clarify) the rule.
As it is, it's a joke and it isn't getting any better.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
