Saints not appealing

[Mr Brightside]

Just saw it on Afl site,PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[Tigers of Old]

The title say it all CC. ;D

 

[buzzman]

I want the media on Grant Thomas's back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mb64]

Nor should they.

 

[AngryAnt]

Yes, the Saints are very unappealing.

 

[Silent Bob]

Had no choice really.   How bad would they have looked appealing for points they never should have had in the first place.  Justice done.

Very bad,even the Saints realised legal action would have damaged them.

It's correct on so many levels. :hihi How Zen.

 

[pahoffm]

Good to see.

An appeal would have taken their whole focus away from the field and placed it in the courtroom.

Now its up to Thomas to stir up that John Northey like "Us against Them" for the rest of the season.

A bit like the Tiges & GR / post Windy Hill 1974.

Go Sainters!

congrats to STK - think they have handled themselves well - interesting to hear on WLF last night that a number of STK players were supportive of the decision - good on them :clap

Glad they aren't appealing and agree they've handled themselves well,but geeze they got screwed.

Terrible decision by the AFL.Since when is it essential to award a game to the 'moral' winners

Natural justice.

Otherwise you do end up in court.

Under that scenario we may well have won quite a few more games in the last 20 odd years.

Timekeeper stuffed up so Freo are not just moral winners.They were the real winners.

I don't agree mb.Saints were ripped off for mine.If every game's result was reversed,days later I may add, just because an AFL official messed up-well where does it leave us.

I understand all the arguments for and against but basically think that Freo should've been made to suck it up.

Thin end of the wedge changing rules(or interpretations)after the fact.

The AFL took the soft option,primarily because it was popular IMO.

Gee, who'd have thought the Saints would be less popular than the Dockers

We'll have to agree to disagree Evo.The soft option would have been to let the draw stand.The tough decision was to give Freo the 4 points.

It has just dawned on me why you are being so pro the Saints. You've backed those underachieving softc0cks for the flag. ;D
