I absolutely find that a good kid may not take any further part this season disappointing! And I agree that the coach can make the decision not to play him! but I completely disagree with the comment that the coach can control a players on field action! He can react to a players action but how can he possibly control what a player will do, be it unprovoked or in retaliation to something?
Will not defend Shane's reasoning behind him selecting him each week, but did Stan Alves stand down Tony Lockett after his incident with Danny Caven (after his 6 week suspension) Danny was out for 20 weeks? I am sure you can think up 1000 more situations where a club stands by their player and not all of them aren't without argument from the outside, right or wrong.
And yes, I stand by my comments about him being a rubbish human! however I am going by his on field behaviour, as I don't know the bloke outside of this!
