Glad he didn't challenge - terrible look and certainly lowered my thoughts on him as a player.

Couldn't see how Collingwood could challenge that - he struck a player that was looking the other way. No matter the contact, the optics were terrible.
I’d agree, but Owies definitely contributed to it. Which is what I said initially.

Owies was running onto the ball and got tackled by Maynard. He had scooped up the ball and was off balance. The duty of care in that situation was with the tackler. It was a dangerous tackle. I called it as soon as it happened. However, I'm not surprised that Christian didn't bother to look harder at it.

That’d be the guy. Always wondered why Carlton players would get cited and banned for the most trivial things… I’m shocked… well, not that shocked.

Of course it's got nothing to do with the navy blue coloured glasses we all wear...
I don't think we fair that badly at all. Which is good, I don't believe we've got a single dirty player in our squad (like a Pickett/Greene etc).
Not to mention, I think we've done really well out of the tribunal over the years. Cripps winning the Brownlow was pretty good testament to that.

The opposite actually.
It was a total stitch-up at the tribunal.
We had to go to the appeals board, and they rightly threw it out.

Sorry, yes.
Although the Cripps one should've been a suspension by basically every metric. We've got one hell of a lawyer.
This isn't true at all.
He was only suspended due to an error of law. The tribunal decision was found to be completely unreasonable, and hence thrown out.

Yeah ok, we view that incident very differently. Left his feet and knocked a guy out.
Anyway, that was years ago and not overly relevant to this thread. I'll leave it at that.

He played the ball, and another player hit his head on the ground.
People have weird memories of the incident, and the tribunal and appeal, because it was generally very poorly covered in the media. It's pretty clear, though:
MRO (Christian) has sighted us plenty, sometimes for things that other players don’t get looked at.
The fact we have had numerous charges dropped or dismissed by the tribunal and our track record is good testifies to his bias!!

Yeah, it's all one big conspiracy against us that no one else has picked up on

It can be both be true that there is bias by Christian and we also have Navy Blue glasses on!!!
They are not mutually exclusive.
The conspiracy would be suggesting that Christian is being directed by the AFL to target a particular team for more suspensions, and that, my friend, is where Richmond supporters step in!!!!!

The Curnow brothers getting cited in the same match for umpire contact. Then Christian had to cite Tom Hawkins for umpire contact because if he let it go, we’d have sued the AFL. Since then they’ve just been finding players for umpire contact.

The system is a flawed one but there's a tendency to forget when our players aren't rubbed out & remember when they are..Yeah, it's all one big conspiracy against us that no one else has picked up on
IMO there's no real basis for the conspiratorial reasoning.
IIRC Cripps' suspension was overturned due to the initial finding being that he'd bumped Ah-Chee, the appeal found that he did not.
Newman clear to play, hit with a fine.

Take the fine and run.
Another day he might have got a week for that.

Seriously that Cowan hit was a bit late but in no way constitutes a reportable offence.
He pulled the contact and basically got NealBullen on both forearms out in front of his body.
The fact he collapsed like he been shot with a sawn off shotgun should be a report for staging.
Geez the more I watch those dees players the more dislike I feel.
