It is really quite obvious.
Think of the precedents:
- Locket to Sydney
- Hall to Sydney
Why? Two simple reasons:
1 The AFL needed Sydney to win a premiership.
2 The tribunal record of both meant any charge at St Kilda would be an automatic suspension. At Sydney, they could kill someone and still get off (think Hall punching Goose in Prelim 2005 "in play").
So now Freemental need a premiership as well (for the "good of the competition"). Baker can do as he pleases, "toughen up" a bunch of losers, and the AFL can turn a blind eye.
Get money on it now.
