What a joke. How can the club not send a please explain to the AFL re Soldos week. Martins was also no worse than Sisilly. Not only do we get screwed on the pitch but off it as well.

First time I saw it on news just now. It's nothing like the apologists have been describing.
Exactly...he wasn't in the contest, stepped off his line, raised the elbow and reached out and connected.
4 distinct actions and it's merely careless.
AFL just taking the pis now.
Ok. Answer me this - Sicily punches a player off the ball and gets a $2k fine. Intentional strike.
Hawkins gets a $3k fine for a careless act. How does this work? If Hawkins act was truly careless yet receives a higher fine. Just nonsensical. Absolute made up *smile*.

FMD. If Christian wasn’t such a dumb arse, he’d struggle to live with himself. As it is he can survive in ignorant bliss. And I do mean ignorant. Some of the absolute dribble that the man comes out with to justify things one way or the other.
Shoulders become base of head/neck in a ridiculous ‘crackdown’. But now what is effectively a forearm (and very close to a fist) is the ‘inside of the wrist’. What utter *smile*.
I’ll give it to Hawkins in that he tried to pull out of it and looked immediately sorry for connecting. Fair enough. That’s careless. Very similar post-contact reaction to Soldo in fact. However the impact to the players who received contact were quite different. Worpel bounced straight up. Dawson was clearly hurt and stayed down for a while. A hit to the head is a hit to the head, is it not?
Nice one MD Jazz for posting the guidelines for review. Where is the consideration for impact in these collisions?
It really is a joke.
Christian is leaving himself wide open for a civil suit. Some of the potential damage he has let through to the keeper is setting a standard - particularly for Geelong players it seems - that will really hurt someone. And absolutely outrageous for SHocking to come out and lambast Soldo while this letting off of other players goes on blatantly for all to see. (And again - slow down the footage super slow of Soldo and I doubt he actually connected. Worpel pulled his head back out of the way. Hawkins connected and connected good)
How is this crap allowed to exist?

I was against Gale leaving and going into the AFL, but after the poor umpiring in our games and the MRP being heavily bias. We need someone with yellow and black in there.
I wouldn’t be surprised that Geelong get a home final this year regardless who they play. Hocking is doing his very best to get Geelong a flag.

Haven't followed it, but it seemed at the time that Guelfi was propelled further than he otherwise might've been because he was caught off balance. Against McGovern was that it was late and unnecessary, and Guelfi was hurt. Would he still have been hurt if the chair wasn't there? I had less of a problem with the decision than a lot of others.
A decade ago I'd have been more than happy to see Walters suspended for a headbutt, however the AFL long ago removed 'dirty' from consideration. It was a little ridiculous to suspend him given the lack of force involved, as that is what they usually cite.
Certainly, Walters' was the worse "footy act" of the two, but these days the chief consideration is how badly the opponent was hurt.
Have pretty much given up speculating on the MRO/MRP/Tribunal unless it involves Richmond.
I am surprised the MRO couldn't find a way to suspend a richmond player in the bye week
Gave that Guelfi bloke a fair shunt into the fence so under current rules n duty of care, I'm not surprised he copped a week.
Wouldn't have minded seeing that Sydaknee / Souf Smelbourne player who nudged Richo into the fence years ago n helped him pop a knee get a few weeks for his efforts. Bugger all duty of care back then, it was pretty much *smile* happens, play on.
I have no problem with him. Why did he need to push him at all? There was no footballing reason to do it, the ball was heading out of play and Guelfi wasn't impeding where McGovern was. No need for that type of push and it was dangerous whether the chair was there or not.
I'm surprised Walters got off, especially the way he got off. I'd have expected him to get off for below the required impact for a reportable offence, not that it wasn't intentional which it clearly was.
I thought if you left the ground and whacked someone in the head..... with a forearm. .. you're looking at a suspension .... (unless of course the company team is playing us this week!)
Soldo should improve his technique next time and remember to jump!
Don't think I'm allowed to link to the atrocious football liars site. .... so draw your own conclusions!

You can’t think when trying to make sense of this circus. It is a reactive, media driven nonsense with an administration that would require assistance to rub two sticks together.
Love the way Cunnington plays but.........
He's up on his 4th striking charge in 16 weeks and cops a 5k fine...!
Ffs if he played for us he'd have already done 6 weeks by now.... corrupt!

Very lucky or Christian watched the wrong tape.
How about Fyfe? Something from the WWE and he gets off again
So another strike by Cunnington and another fine....Hey Christensen, how bluddy thick are you??, THE FINES DONT WORK, heres an idea, how about a SUSPENSION??? Take $5000 dollars outta Cunnintons $500,000 year salary...thats 1%.
