Go Blues.
Nothing i would think, so about 8 weeks for saying something and another 8 weeks for being right.

I said that in reply to someone who said he was supporting his mate by tweeting that.
Your point is a different argument all together.
Good on him for voicing his sentiments, but I compare it to him raising the ball after he marks it, rather than frustration directed at the game.
I'm sure Petrie will be fined and I'm sure he knew he'd be fined if he posted it.

Seems that fines are no longer a deterrent for Twitter whinging. Balls in your court, AFL

Needs a GF who can post it for him.....
Paddy Ryder retweeted it.
Anything that gives Vlad and his little gnome Anderson heart palpitations is good in my book to be honest. God forbid someone express an actual opinion that wasn't market tested by a focus group and the Herald Sun readership.

You must be new to the AFL.
Wonder if he would be sooking if it was one of his team mates who copped the busted cheekbone.
Seriously, go in the bat for your team mates on the footy field, not on twitter you clown Drew.

retweets are shit beginning to hit the fan. more fines, bigger fines? there's only so many the afl can slug at a time before everyone (even the more sympathetic) sees them for the draconian control freaks they are.

Digging into the why
Remember when Jack Trengove got suspended the players made a few tweets, copped up a heavy fine. Should be no different.
Good on him.
Hopefully another 200 retweet it as well.
Awful MRP decision. Worse tribunal decision.
It's about time somebody said something. The AFL are destroying everything that's great about our game.

I agree, didnt look all that much in it from where I was sitting.
Should have been (at worst) Negligent, Low impact, High contact.
Then again I was surprised Judd got intentional and not reckless so go figure.
Expect a nice fine for big Drew coming by the end of the week

Players don't have to be robots, they could show a little more personality in interviews; rather than "yeah mate we're going to stick our structures 'cause they're a really good side West Sydney."
It's not that hard not to comment on the umpires or the tribunal. Not sure why the tribunal or MRP is a protected species, but I understand why the umpires are a no-go.

Just beat me to it. Kelly's in more trouble than Petrie, who I think everyone agrees with and don't think he did enough to be seen as questioning the iron rule of Herr Vlad.
Ziebell plays footy the old fashioned way, plays with a mad instinct and a kamikaze style with no regards for his own safety let alone others. I like that, and would hate to see it lost in our game, sometimes to make an impact you have to throw your weight around and contest hard, and sometimes a player comes off second best. As long as the player's intentions are true and it's a genuine attempt at winning the ball, I don't understand why we need to rub them out. I'd hate to see a game where every player is second guessing the contest.
By all means crack down on the late, cheap, off the ball stuff but don't rub out guys who play the game hard, fierce and with an intent to win the ball.

If Kelly gets in trouble for that, I'll laugh. Utter disgrace if so. Question is, will Vlad understand and appreciate his humor?

Watching the interviews on the Bomber's site drives me nuts. Almost all of our players give those stock-standard answers, it must drive the journalists crazy.
I can't think of a good reason why the MRP and tribunal have to be sacrosanct. Are ex-players not going to choose a cushy job at the MRP because a player was a big meanie about one of their decisions?

Watch a John Worsfold press conference. It is a thing of utter beauty. He's turned stonewalling into an art form.

I will wage war on the AFL if any of these players get fined.
