Pretty much considering you attempted to portray the tweet was anything but unreasonable !

Yeah I don't know if it was "unreasonable", not to me anyway.....

I understand though how the AFL deem it as such, but personally I though he was pretty honest.

    I do not think it was unreasonable. I think the AFL are beyond there own boundries on this one.

    People (any person) can tweet whatever they like.

    Maybe the AFL will sanction this site one day....is that reasonable?? To you it maybe, but not me.

    What Ricky Petterd said in his Twitter was repeated multiple times in here-He was telling the truth.

    What you fail to realise WYL is that the players represent the AFL. The AFL can impose sanctions / fines as outlined in the article and as stated by Adrian Anderson. You may not like it, but that's how it is. This site is different and the members do not represent the AFL.

    Of course (the tweet - "B...$h!t")it was unreasonable. Even our club the Melbournefc recognise that ! It was a direct response to the upheld decision. Black and White.

    The laws of the land will alway over rule the rules of a corporation 'even the AFL'. one day someone will take them on.

    I can't understand what was wrong with frawley's comment.

    He didn't directly dispute the decision just commented on the impact of the outcome in a humorous way

    That should be "acceptable" surely

    The AFL can go suck a big one.

    Biggest screw-over we've received by the league in my time as a Melbourne supporter. This entire week has been nothing short of a disgrace, and I hope we send the AFL a nice little tape of 'dangerous tackles' from this weekend with our very own please explain.

    Bastards!

    Really I hope that the players don't let themselves be censored. For starters, 2500 for most of them is not that much of an issue, and far as I am concerned, they have every right to mouth off. I know the commission has their rules, blah blah blah, but I personally am sick and tired of those fools and their stupid rules. I feel like I am still in NSW under the Bob Carr government. We can barely even think these days without being subjected to a fine. You have to allow the game to have a human element. I know the powers that be have a fixation with NFL and how they run their game, but it is an American game. Let them have their American game, and lets have our tough and completely unique game to ourselves. Why does every part of life have to be sanitised, scripted and controlled. Let them be human.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
