how come big names get off at tribunal

[blakesmum]

I would like to know how come the likes of carey lloyd and co always get off

i agree with the carey call...although he hasn't gone up in a few years.....but lloyd got off legitimately under the rule - the ball was being playes in the direct area where te incident occurred.
cheers

Because the AFL cares more about TV ratings and the "stars" that bring those ratings home than it does about justice and fairness.

Can I assume Wanga's got the all-clear from the video nazis? (despite the wailings of jilted Bomber fans

)

The reason Carey got off was for the simple reason that he didn't do anything - it was a clash of heads between Wallis and Pike!!

By the way I'm surprised that Bomber fans didn't cheer Carey if he did hit Wallis - after all most of you guys have been wanting to belt Wallis yourselves for years!!

 

[The City Boyz]

Just to continue the trend!

These days it's because of the Brownlow controversy if they don't. They don't want to take a Brownlow off someone for something minor or to make an example. Whereas they are happy to do it to other players.

Yep, pretty much this. Fyfe got lucky a few times last year. Guarantee is Danger got in to an incident, especially towards the end of the year he would have been let off for sure.

Because they're all good blokes.

Once you get famous you can hold the ball during tackles, do high fend offs, play on when time was whistled off.... plenty of benefits.

Because they have muscle memory.
