Your Clubs Tribunal Scapegoat

[Syd]

Sydney, West Coast, Brisbane, Fremantle, Port Adelaide and Adelaide supporters really have nothing to add to this thread. Even when they get a suspension it's either overturned on some b/s excuse or get half of what anyone else gets.

Of course, another possible reason why is that they don't commit reportable offences too often.

And before you start the "umpires lovechild" crap JD, you do realise that we are the most penalised team in terms of free kicks in '07 - and have the lowest frees for\against ratio dont you?

All oposition supporters can do is point to the Hall tummy/love tap in the final, yes he got off, because of his good record since leaving his previous club!
If that and Goodes harmless push in the back is the worst they can come up with, it would suggest how fair the Swans really are!

Go Bloods!

Matty Stokes from the Cats & I think it was Michael Johnson for Fremantle were both made scapegoats preseason for the high contact bump crackdown.

They both got 4 weeks to show the AFL wasn't gonna put up with any crap this year and naturally, during the main season they've never paid anything like that since and theres been much worse than what those two did.

Obviously you've got Ben Johnson of late, but that was despicable what he did.

Sydney don't block?

You're kidding, they're the masters of it.

LOL, great way to debate, argue with yourself.

Don't know if you've noticed, umpires lay very few reports these days and they certainly don't hand down penalties. More often than not when they are called to give evidence the tribunal does the exact opposite.

Sorry but I don't see the correlation between umpires, free kicks and players getting suspended.

Feel free to keep arguing with yourself over it though.

And you forgot the Wizard, actually anyone in purple this season.

There's a pretty good reason for wizard being a scapegoat though!

Any aboriginal wearing teal.

How pathetic. You guys have been extraordinarily lucky this year at the tribunal

Wilson
White
S Burgoyne twice and still you whinge

Have a look at the Wilson incident again, ran past the ball, elbow in the head, reprimand. Amazing. Carbon copy of what Bickley did to Wakelin without the injury (pure luck) and Bickley got and deserved 5. Yes I know he is not an aboriginal re your point but in 07 Port has had a superb run

You mean the one wearing a St Kilda jumper.

No different to Lockett. Switch jumpers / different interpretations.

Sydney don't have anyone in this category but plenty that get away with murder. Adam Goodes must be laughing his arse off what he gets away with - especially after last night's result.

I disagree, but if you think that, then sucked in, that is what you get for contributing too little revenue to the AFL.
