That was a really dangerous act. And every supporter (maybe apart from the bears) would agree.How much does the umpire get fined for not paying the tunnelling free? Near on the worst decision I've seen because it was so obvious. Also cost the swans a goal in a game they lost by under a goal.
After he kicked the ball too I reckonSo when does Xerri get sanctioned for collapsing TDK's lung?

Two of my most despised acts are tunnelling and pushing a player into oncoming traffic. Both are solely intended to cause damage to an opponent and shouldn't just be a fine.How much does the umpire get fined for not paying the tunnelling free?

Yep fine for that and 3 weeks for a run down tackle with momentum taking an opponent to groundThat was a really dangerous act. And every supporter (maybe apart from the bears) would agree.

it just so happens that st. kilda, richmond, footscray (as they were), west coast and collingwood - all sides he has been involved with as a player or coach - sit out of the eight and we do not - as it would happenIf a guy with Malthouse’s experience in the game says that things are shit, then they’re definitely shit. The AFL needs a ****ing broom through the place and a new commission installed and the rules set in ****ing stone. No more of this interpretation bullshit.
If anyone wants to know why Collingwood get a very favourable run with the MRO

There was an incident a few years back where that dog Maynard pushed Cripps into an oncoming pack, and it's a wonder he wasn't killed....then proceeded to bend down to Cripps lying prostate on the ground to supposedly ask if he was okay. And the commentators thought that was great sportsmanship from Maynard. It was a ****ing dog's act!! And of course he wasn't sanctioned.
Larkey copped a week a few years back for tunnelling Lewy Young, and I reckon the Hipwood one was no different.

Yep, a very dangerous act, I'm surprised none of the players remonstratedThat hipwood tunneling is so dangerous, far worse than some tackles that have resulted in suspensions,
Ball was still in play because umpire didn't even pay a free (and it cost Swans a goal, which is significant in context of the match). But I get what you're saying. What I'd like to know is, is there anything in rules for suspension for tunnelling, or do we have to wait until the impacted player is injured? Shouldn't such a dangerous act receive a more significant penalty?Yep, a very dangerous act, I'm surprised none of the players remonstrated

Players have to 'evolve' according to Laura Kane - because right now they are clearly lacking 'evolvement'.
That is all you need to know about AFL / MRO and all the rest of the crapola that is actually accelerating the inevitable decline of the game.
