Round 22 - Non MFC Games

Interesting comment by Clarkson on how Carlton targetting of Sicily (who gave away 7 free kicks):

"Clarkson suggested Carlton had sucked in his player. "That's the way Carlton play...he's the retaliator and the umpire's paid the retaliator rather than apply the discipline to the Carlton player in the first instance who's doing the hitting."

That is exactly what happened to Lewis , Hogan and Houli (who was suspended for striking Lamb, Sicily's opponent).  I think there was another player sucked in by them then suspended but can't recall details.

They also stage their reactions which is what the umpire sees and the penalties follow.  That plus their doctor's medical reports to the MRP is rapidly making them the scum team of the AFL.  

There are 3 umpires on the field surely one of them can keep an eye on where the ball is going/has been to watch the argy-bargy and penalise the right player.

I hope Harley Bennell plays the game of his life.

I just realised next week has 17th vs 18th and the loser gets the first pick. 

Hope the tanking judges are watching closely because if anybody is played out of their normal position it will cost their club a million bucks.

Something doesn't smell right at Freo. Is Ross on the move? The players look disinterested.

At best they're checked out. But yeah it does seem a little off.

While I agree Carlton are scum, Clarko can't be seriously complaining? It's his blueprint! The apprentice learnt from the master.

Thought it was annoying that Richmond did a demolition job. Guess it would be nice to just see us win by 10 goals + sometime
