A one week suspension & AFL Counselling for that!!!

How Pathetic...Mark Wbber was right...This is indeed a Nanny State and getting worse....

For what exactly - we don't know what was said? How do you feel about racial vilification? Should the stamping out of vilification of women be treated as any less important (well in fact it is, as Sherman got 4 weeks for racial vilification)?

    Actually it was West COast who suspended him so that's Western Australia!

    Not sure why people think it's ok to abuse someone's Mum? I would be very very unhappy about someone abusing my mum! All the best sledgers never bring someone's family into it. Warnie never did, Boony and Healy never did. The eagles bloke just wasn't clever enough to think of something decent.

    I went through 12 years of school with a disability so i can vouch for getting a tough time....I just think society needs to Harden up. But that is my opinion.

    As a kid if i came off my bike in the street and cut my knee i would ride home, get a Band Aid and some Mychurecrome?? (That Red Stuff!!) and get back on my bike.

    Now if the same thing happens the council gets sued for a dangerous piece of Pavement...!!!

    A comment was made on the footy field...Get on the phone & apologize...I think that is enough.

    In a lot of regards, you are 100% right WYL. But, we don't know the full story. Put it this way, what would you do if it were a player saying something about Aussie's Dad? Or to one of our other player's about Jimmy's personal situation/battles? Unless we know the facts, we got nuffin!

    Are you two serious?

    A few 'mum jokes' hardly warrants a suspension.

    As a mum myself, I do find that offensive. Why should it be ok for someone to villify me, just to get a reaction from one of my children? Have they ever met me? Do they know me? I have been in a position where someone has personally attacked me just to hurt someone else - and it is a really bad feeling. If I have done something to offend someone, then fair enough if they voice their complaint, but don't just use me as a weapon.

    It's a substandard act, pulled by someone who obviously does not have enough faith in his footy to play it properly.

    Go Ricky, stand up for your Mum!

    This is political correctness gone mad. There's not one thing that he could have said about his Mum that warranted this type of over-reaction.

    It's a joke.

    The same Thing....Get on the Phone or go and apologize to the person eye to eye.

    All this AFL Bullshite is a way to keep control....it is a heat of the moment comment.

    The Cheer Squad Chants are a little different but Racial comments or sexual taunts should be sorted out with eye to eye Mediation.

    Being suspended and fined is just a power play from Vlad & Anderson which helps to pay for there Weekly Lunch budget

    Agree with you Suzanna. Its also just plain bad sportsmanship

    But what do you think should be the punishment (first offence, second offence etc)?

    I don't know what was said but I reckon it would have to be serious

    But the worst part of all of this.

    WHO FLEW THE FLAG FOR HIM.

    I mean is too much to ask a player might have some bloody heart to stick up for his mate.

    Where was the bloody response from the team to a mate getting hassled

    This bloody club is a mire of pathetic mediocrity it makes you want to spew

    Pathetic and gutless someone should of decked this Eagles [censored]

    Will no one stand up for this club it is obviously meaningless the couldn't give a shite about a bit of pride.

    Do you think the likes of Judd, Pendles or Ablett have ever resorted to his kind of sledging on the field? Probably not, because they have talent.

    It is only the talentless hacks of the likes of McGinnity who have to use these tactics to make up for areas they lack in.

    I am not sure if I would personally get that worked up about a bit mother slandering on the playing field, but I have no problem with a nuffy getting a weeks holiday for trying to get an edge because he isn't good enough, and he needs to sink that low.

    So you know the full story do you? How about waiting until the circumstances are out there. I get the feeling there is much more to this as it would be extremely unlikely that a player would get fired up like Ricky did over something as tame as a "mother" joke.

    I recall in the NRL here in Sydney years ago, Mario Fenech, then playing for South Sydney Rabbitohs, suddenly burst out of a scrum and started hammering Balmain's Benny Elias (I think it was)... turns out that Benny had bee niggling with "hey Mario, zzzzzt, zzzzzt". Pretty harmless you would think, except for one minor fact - Mario had lost his brother through electrocution.

    That is shocking. (sorry)

    Death, disease, mental problems, & racial barbs should be off limits...

    Everything else, including stuff that's completely made up - don't be a sook. Really hope Ricky's not one of those.

    Totally Agree with your sentiments....Maybe the Wet Coke player should apologize to you directly eyeball to eyeball....He would absolutely shake in his boots.

    All this AFL suspension and fines i find somewhat predictable, the amount of fines imposed would have sky rocketed since Vlad & co have been in charge.

    Suzanna I do respect all Mums , but this is a different sphere. Its acalled a football field.. but it could be a boxing ring.. or any other filed of combative endeavour where one side seeks a mental edge over the other.

    Ricky didnt dob thi sbloke in..he just moved on..as he should. He didnt give it any credence by repsonding really other than to get on with the game. This nullifies the 'nasty' jibe.

    This may seem to be splitting hairs , but in all honesty theres a lot of things said on a field that would make your toes curl.

    Agree with those that suggest political correctness gone mad.. Also add meddlng Umpire.

    There's a rumour doing the rounds that Petterd's

    Mum has a serious illness on BF.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Might provides some perspective for the reaction/complaint

  • Quote

    May I remind you that the abuse of his mum was not directed at his mum but at him, presumably as a sledge .

    If there was more to it than a standard "your mommas so ugly" and it got personal then Ricky should just punch MC Cunty out.Seasons over for us anyhow .

    Over taxed

    Over policed

    over governed

    Over umpired

    yes ,yes ,women and the AFL ,marketing etc.

    Bollocks .

    Well, Judd has his "pressure-point" eye gouge as a weapon.

    All the more reason that McGinnity should be asked to personally apologize to both Ricky & Mrs. Petterd Eye to Eye.

    No Fines No suspensions & i bet you a few bucks he would never do it again.....But no the AFL must uphold its Fat Controller ways.....

    • 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.

    • 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.
