Well it must be Franklin getting looked after again. Hang on he has been suspended 3 times in less than a year. Looked like a poor tackle to me.35...LEGEND wrote:closer to a strike than a tackle.
Don't see many tackles like that one.

You can. You can also get a free against you and that is all. In this case that is all or are you one of these conspirancy people all of a sudden.rodgerfox wrote:You can get weeks for a reckless tackle too you know.plugger66 wrote:

Just curious..can you name or quote any time when the AFL have "openly admitted" ( your words) to manipulating any of your list except the fixture and perhgaps the salary cap to maximise revenueFace wrote:Anyone with half a clue wouldn't be so stupid to ask such a question.plugger66 wrote: Do actually think the AFL want inconsistances.
Of course they want it. You can't manipulate the competition by being consistent.
The fixture, the draft, the salary cap, umpiring, MRP, tribunal . . . you name it, the AFL manipulate it to suit their 'maximising revenue' agenda. Sporting integrity isn't permitted to stand in the way of the main game.
FFS they openly admit to it. Why in god's name would you ever argue otherwise?
Umpiring? MRP? Tribunal?? Cant recall any statements from the AFL openly admititng to manipulating them in the name of maximising revenue
The AFL is far from perfect but far fetched stuff like this doesnt do the argument any good IMO

Most of us wouldn't want to see players rubbed out for something like that though would we?rodgerfox wrote:With all due respect, it doesn't matter whether or not you have a problem with it.SainterK wrote:I didn't actually have a problem with this one.Thinline wrote:Because he was unlucky in the past?rodgerfox wrote:Why did Franklin get off?

Farcical.
It's whether or not it was a reportable offence - which according to the laws of the game, it was.

There are rules. Decisions shouldn't be made based on public opinion.
According to the letter of the law, Gilbert is lucky to playing this week then, if you want to argue that Franklins attempt at tackling was reckless?rodgerfox wrote:Again, what we want is just not relevant.SainterK wrote:Most of us wouldn't want to see players rubbed out for something like that though would we?rodgerfox wrote:With all due respect, it doesn't matter whether or not you have a problem with it.SainterK wrote:I didn't actually have a problem with this one.Thinline wrote:Because he was unlucky in the past?rodgerfox wrote:Why did Franklin get off?

Although there was no contact above the shoulders with Gilbert, so I'm not sure what he would have gone for.
Not sure why that's relevant anyway?

Oh I should have been clearer, I meant Blakes tripping in comparison to Fletchers, and Gilberts tackle in relation to Mumfords.degruch wrote:Gilbert got pinged, Buddy didn't...not sure what there is to be happy about in that series of inconsistencies.SainterK wrote:It's relevant, because if I was to be entirely honest, our club seemed to be lucky for once, and I'm happy to shut my eyes to the glaring inconsistency

I getchya. Mind you, both of those incidents were raised in the press and discussed at length for their harshness...so in reality, Blake getting a reprimand is the norm. Non-St Kilda extreme suspensions...very unusual!SainterK wrote:Oh I should have been clearer, I meant Blakes tripping in comparison to Fletchers, and Gilberts tackle in relation to Mumfords.degruch wrote:Gilbert got pinged, Buddy didn't...not sure what there is to be happy about in that series of inconsistencies.SainterK wrote:It's relevant, because if I was to be entirely honest, our club seemed to be lucky for once, and I'm happy to shut my eyes to the glaring inconsistency
