Why only we get the rough end of the pineapple?

Last week was Roey, this week Zac, why only we cop it week after week.

Saw the game of Freo v/s Hawks & one of their players (roberton I think who wacked Eliss.) gets away with it.

Chappy gave few blows to Dunn & escapes the punishment, also Brown whacked Kosi & was deemed O.K.

Why we always?

Because Demetriou and the AFL hate us. It's a conspiracy

What farking bullshyte.

Reckless my arsehole.

The force was barely enough to be reportable!

Why the F*** isn't it negligent?

Farking joke.
Pointless taking on the AFL as they have made up their mind on this.

Had it been a clean record player it would've been negligent and only a reprimand. This general rule applies to all teams not just us and sucks.

So Zac is now a thug by AFL standards and will have a 40% loading in future.

Maybe he is just unlucky to be reported at least 3 times in 3 years.

Suprised Roberton got 1 week reduced. Deliberately went after a Hawks player with an elbow. Deserved to be suspeneded.

Yep. If it was Bakes, his season would be over

We're jinxed. The sooner you accept that, the better.

Zac's action was stupid and he deserved what he got... If nothing else the club should give him a week for plain stupidity no less...

No AFL agenda here, just Zac having a brain fade...

Does it pretty often...

If he just persisted with watching and playing the ball at ALL times, he'd be 100% fine, and a very valuable contributer...

Man watches and plays off the ball too often... He's just got to cut it out...

I'm relieved - thought he was definitely gone for 2, jinx or not

Serious?

Based on what?

So you thought it was intentional?

Or medium impact?

Zac was dealt with as harshly as possible.

Any harsher would have been corruption.

Saintersss · Mon 01 Aug 2011 10:25pm

I can guarantee every fan in the AFL thinks their team get the "rough end of the pineapple".

Im not the MRP and yes, based on our rough end of the pineapple, I would have expected 2 weeks

It was intentional and a dumb act by a dumb player.

Spot on. Great post.

We are definitely getting the rough end of the pineapple as far as free kicks are concerned. They are so lop sided every week that I can't believe there hasn't been an enquiry about it.

goodie · Post: # 1114268Post **goodie** » Tue 02 Aug 2011 12:27am

Wasn't regarded as being worth a 50, therefore shouldn't be regarded as reportable. Surely by now our players have been made an example of enough times to suggest malice on the AFL/MRP's part.

Who thinks Campbell Brown would've got a similar spell if he wasn't playing for the AFL's latest pet?

Agree
Yet our pineapple seems bigger tha most !!!!

Zac was lucky to escape with 1 week IMO. He has a poor record and with loading could have easily been out for 2 or 3.
People have to forget the Campbell Brown incident as clearly the MRP stuffed up big time with this one.
Saying all that, i still believe the MRP needs a major overhaul.

spert · Post: # 1114312Post **spert** » Tue 02 Aug 2011 10:41am

Zac stuffed up- unnecessary and crude spoiling attempt..otherwise the guy is doing OK. I think the MRP must be smoking something suss, as their decisions and reasoning in general seems to be erratic at best. Brown of the GC would have got a week if he was playing for a Vic club (except Geelong maybe).

In the "good old days" people could accept umpires missing stuff out on the ground.

Brown getting a pass doesn't help Zac. However the MRP gets to review the video over and over again. As such, it's really not good enough to simply accept they stuffed it up.

Its NOT what Dawson got,it's what the other players didn't get !!!

Rosco · Post: # 1114319Post **Rosco** » Tue 02 Aug 2011 11:14am

just watched the MRP video, got what he deserved, very very lucky for it not to be 2 weeks with his loading & carry over point

wasaintsfan · Tue 02 Aug 2011 1:05pm

no free no 50 no report?????

guess even the mrp believe the umpires are useless =)

yet week after week we hear how right they always are

how bout backing it up when they make a call like that in a play right infront of the umpire????????????

What did the medical report say? MRP is very inconsistent... The problem is that Zac's previous record contributed to this decision, and from memory they were just as random, and unjust. The inconsitency compounds. The system is shite, like so much in the AFL atm.

Has nothing to do with anything in this case, and rightly so...

What he did was silly and illegal and he got his fair whack, medical report or not, free kick or not...

I understand that some on here think Roo got unfairly outed due to the medical report (which I dont think is the case), and if this were the case we are lucky he only got away with missing 1 week, cos the Crows player is now out for the rest of the year with a broken jaw...
