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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
