a fair bit of sniping going on, including buchanan's uncalled for attack on riewoldt after the three-quarter time siren and merrett dropping a knee into riewoldt's leg (not sure if it was the injured hammy)?
a dog act. obviously the lions have learned nothing from the baker penalty.
the league, if it is to have any integrity at all (which it does not) cannot tolerate this sort of off-the-ball sniping.
also, who was the saints player who had his guernsey ripped off during the melee?

i think the "Steven Baker rule" might get a bit of an airing. Players being targeted off the ball, etc.markinUSA wrote:I was listening to Roo's comments after the game. He is a class act, and even the commentators said he was "very diplomatic". But does anyone think anything will come of that push and shove stuff at half time?

The Steven Baker Rule only applies to St Kilda players.
Gilbert 9 weeks for a good tackle.
Blake 9 weeks for allowing an opponent to lose his balance.
$1,000,000 fine for self defence because of Darren Sully's corruption.

apparently the coach isn't happy with some of the treatment dished out to riewoldt.Bernard Shakey wrote:Why don't you all just grow up and enjoy the game?
indicated that he thought some clear boundaries had been set in this regard. no doubt the baker rule to which he was referring.
all you would ask for is consistency.

Just showed on chanel 10 buddy's reckless hit on someone from geelong I dont remember who. It was reckless and with buddy's carry over points it really should get looked at, but I dont want to have to go through this sort of thing every week.
Thought Ross was very clever with his wording during the interview. Didnt come across as bitter, but still pointed a few things out. But any wany only 7 more weeks isnt it bakes

good on him. he worded it beautifully, so it didn't sound like he was bleating or dobbing.Scoop wrote:Exactly what I heard Ross say....Bernard Shakey wrote:Not what I heard Ross say.bigcarl wrote:apparently the coach isn't happy with some of the treatment dished out to riewoldt.Bernard Shakey wrote:Why don't you all just grow up and enjoy the game?

obviously just wants consistency, which the afl must provide if it is to have any integrity.

you are probably right that he will get off. if it was his injured hamstring it is a dog act.bigred wrote:Merrett dropped the knees into Roo. It will be looked at and he will get off.
i wouldn't like to be seen as a squealer, but the club ought to make some discreet behind the scenes inquiries as to why st kilda has paid a ridiculously heavy penalty on baker while similar actions from others go unpunished.
tribunal consistency is a red hot issue and i am all over it.

Yeah...Its hard to say but I honestly reckon that is what he was thinking....
I mean...why the f*** would you knee someone's hamstrings?
Seriously...explain that.
I agree is is a dogs act. Weak as piss.
