I've always held Ward in the highest regard (very tough, fair and courageous player, but that act in the last quarter against Essendon was blatant cheating of the highest order.Ward stages so bad that he gets death threats from supporters who have just had enough!
MRO: Nah, that was fine!
So what does it mean that it has been directed to the tribunal? In what circumstances does this happen?
It’s a disgrace. I’ve been mentioning staging incidents from other games but for whatever the media just hone in on, I don’t know, Richmond ones, sensational ones.There’s obviously thousands of incidents we could bring up, however if Vlaustin and Grimes get done for staging why didn’t Rankine the week before, he actually got up smiling , basically saying I tried to milk a 50, as where Vlaustin got straight to his feet after the momentum took him down, yep milked it a touch , but he didn’t stay down an carry on......incredibly inconsistent and poor for a professional sport
Papley got fined for throwing the ball at the Freo player (gently mind you), yet a few weeks ago Charlie Cameron did the same thing and nada.It’s a disgrace. I’ve been mentioning staging incidents from other games but for whatever the media just hone in on, I don’t know, Richmond ones, sensational ones.
If they are going to crack down on staging fine, do it, but ffs be consistent! Don’t just act on the ones the nuff muffs from the media blow up.
