But if anyone can find a vein of consistency in the MRP or the Tribunals decisions please let me know as I sure haven't seen any.

Corrupt.
Bwahaha. You're a supporter of a club that has been revived by the VFL/AFL as much if not more than mine has. Putting Sydney in the same bracket as a club like Essendon, for one, is so arrogant it's hilarious. As well as completely foolish.
And just so you understand an important distinction ... the league's administrators actually tried to kill Footscray at all costs and left them to bleed and die without so much as a second thought; meanwhile, they've actively intervened more than once to take the nails out of your coffin lid when it was already shut. And yet you've still got the nerve to make comments like the ones above? How embarrassing.
Do you seriously even understand the point at hand?
You are aware of which club you support, right?
Yes every player has these options available to them, u dont need to take ur case to the tribunal
Goodes took his case to the tribunal, and argued that he didn't 'charge' Godfrey, they argued that Goodes actually 'struck' him behind play.......this was enough to downgrade the points so that the guilty plea and good record got him 0 weeks............if he had originally pleaded guilty to the charging even with his good record and guilty plea he would still have missed a week
So in essence Goodes has actually argued that he Struck a bloke behind play when the bloke wasn't looking, and he gets a reduced sentence compared to a charging case!!
Blokes like M.Johnson from freo who got 5 weeks for making what was simply reckless contact to the head in play must be shaking their head........as Goodes admits to deliberately striking a bloke behind play to his back and he walks
could only happen to Sydney

Goodes was fortunate to escape without an enforced holiday but he isn't the first to catch a lucky break at the tribunal and he won't be the last.
One thing that intrigues me when star players are suspended is the obligatory comment that their Brownlow dreams have been dashed. Does anyone really think that Goodes gives a toss that he is not eligible for the Brownlow this year?

I'm making the call now, they'll be here shortly.
that is all u have got!?
good to see that u agree that striking somebody behind play to there back is a lessor charge than charging into somebody!

Haven't done anything deemed worthy of facing the tribunal in recent times
I'm talking about your "it's bad for the kids" cry. Just slightly hypocritical.
Geez, the game as come a long way when posters call a shoulder in the back sniping. Rhys-Jones would be rolling in his un-dug grave!
What an absolute disgrace. Sydney get everything handed to them on a platter by the AFL 
Any success they have had over the last 3 years must feel pretty hollow for the few Swans fans who aren't bandwaggoning glory hunters
It's sickening how the AFL are willing to hand Sydney advantage after advantage simply for the good of the 'growth market'

Barry Hall and Goodes can do what ever they like on the field. Its a new clause encouraging thuggery in the north eastern state
& that Comming from a Wet Toast Supporter
So long as there not DRUG enhanced ,I dont give a dam!!! (Jealous pr*ck)
Lol. You are funny. Or maybe you just have a poor memory? Or maybe you're just thick.
The first club to test the concept of challenging a grading of a charge at he tribunal and then pleading guilty to the new charge was...wait for it...Collingwood with Alan Didak a couple of years ago.
You Pie people seem to want to be the leaders in everything. Well in this instance you are / were. All hail the mighty Pies!

Go check revenue and football expenditure for the last 10 years. There is an article in real footy today about it. Sydney is one of the powerhouse clubs, and your club is a boil on its arse.
Maybe it's just a case of mistaken identity??
To be had-up for striking, you'd have to actually be in around an opposition player, and initiate some body contact.
Doesn't sound like our man to me........

Bigfooty is, if anything, inconsistant.
It wails about how the game is getting to soft, then wails when a relatively soft act is not penalised.

You will notice the majority are either
a. Weagles. They fear us.
b. Sydney dwellers who support side other than Sydney
c. St Kilda supporter still having nightmares.
d. ferals
Justice done. As with Burgoyne.
Nothing to answer for there - simply a silly act by an otherwise scrupulously clean player.
I noticed he didn't see the need to squeal provocation notwithstanding he'd had plenty nor did he feel the need to dob in a player - puts him many classes above certain other AFL players, and not simply on football talent alone.

How can people say Goodes was not punished?
He got a week's suspension for striking just like everyone has pointed out that he deserved.
Not his fault that the AFL has instituted a system where all players get a discount for an early guilty plea and good behaviour.
If Goodes had the charge thrown out, then that would have been a totaly different story regarding how well the tribunal is working at present.
