No, during their 3rd quarter run. Wilson kicked it I think.That was the winning goal at the death, wasn't it?!

The incident was classified as a $3750 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $2500 sanction with an early plea.
How did Toby Green get away with that sling tackle????
The Suns player was alright and got up straight away but he was slung to the ground and his head did hit the ground.
I am sure if it was a Richmond player they would have been suspended for the tackle.This.
The Suns player immediately remonstrated with Green. He, like everyone else, knew it was a chicken wing. Everyone except Christian that is.
The AFL appears to be changing the rules again. Next week the ground will be sacrosanct and we will be talking about how lucky that Suns player was to not get done for head butting the turf.
The afl are going to improve their efficiency from this week. They are going to install eftpos terminals at the entrance to every Richmond change room. All the players have to do then is just tap and go as they enter and the afl can just deduct when they work out how much their coffers are low byThe umps and MRP can't resist getting the AFL holiday fund topped up by the Tigers almost on a weekly basis. I wonder whose turn it will be next week

Nah, already sorted mate. Direct debit garnished from their pay. 4 weeks paid upfront kept in escrow.The afl are going to improve their efficiency from this week.

WTF Finlayson suspended for 3 games
The afl stated that if it wasn’t for his “full and frank admission” his penalty would have been greater than 3 weeks.WTF Finlayson suspended for 3 games

He also has to pay for his own education through “Pride in Sport”
Why didn’t they fine him the maximum financial penalty, deregister him, and ban him for life.
afl, the social consciousness of society. But get some drugs in, just say you’re injured.
Well he was always going to come out and try to get a softer penalty. Even if privately he thought differently. But who knows with him.Is Koschy going attend the education process with Finlayson as well seeing he publicly expressed his opinion that it wasn't so bad given it was in the heat of the moment.
I see he has backflipped in accepting penalty today.
Penalty should have come with a hefty fine as well IMO.
Absolutely, he deserved more than that. When Tex Walker gets 6 weeks for racism it really puts things into perspective.
Can't say those sorts of things anymore. Disgraceful behaviour.
No wonder there's been zero AFL players publicly come out as gay. Football clubs remain bastions of homophobia.
Because Laura Kane is completely out of her depth.But why does he get 3 weeks and Alastair Clarkson only get a little slap on the wrist for the same thing in a preseason game.

It shows how dysfunctional the AFL is as apparently a world class sporting competition, in that they *smile* Benny Gale over in the charade that was always going to be Dillons job.
Then they plead with him to be 2nd banana...... basically the fall guy for the shìt show they run..... and he was too smart for it, so they parachute Kane into a watered down role to what Gale would have had!
He never goes near an opposition player.I see what you did there.
[Saad seems to miss any issues ... because he plays for the Bloos?]
Probably would have shut his mouth n said nuffin if Clarko had copped a couple of weeks in pre season instead of a pretend penalty. Sounds like a harsh whack just for an explosive moment of abuse, but it can't be done anymore, especially when there's already been a warning shot fired a few weeks ago.WTF Finlayson suspended for 3 games
