Well no wonder when the CEO of the competition looks at the Ess/Swans game, says, yes the umps f*****d up. Clears the umps. Effectively says, they can decide when to enforce the rules of the game and when not to. No biggie.

Then has the f*****g hide to give Rampe a please explain.

Is it a real sporting competition or is it Disneyland Downunder -- The Entertainment Experience of a Lifetime? More like a video game come to life. Can you get the gold in spite of the random umpiring and the heartless & capricious evil emperor?

    FMD Agree one rule for superstars, another for everyone else. And definate double penalty outs for any Dees player!

    Steven May episode proof of that!

    Sadly Durdin bumped a Cats player. Lucky to only get a week under the Hocking system.

    The obvious bias that we see in cases like this will remain a factor whilst humans are running the MRP.

    When machine learning (AI) eventually takes over and uses algorithms we will see consistency. Never trust a human to do a computers job. While we’re at it, a 3rd party medical officer at each game to confirm diagnosis would be handy as well.

    The Good Bloke Club is flourishing under this system. It is so bad, it is predictable as to who will be suspended and who will not.

    I'd argue their is consistency it's just that the 'override' formula which takes into account bookies odds is not available to the general public.

    I listened to Michael Christianson's explanatiom tonight and all I heard was "Blah blah blah, betting odds Ablett, insufficient force, sportsbet"

    Except for any bias introduced because of the training data

    and then if we use a NL network we may not understand how the output was derived although that’s no worse than the current situation we find ourselves in

    Understand the training data would be bias in nature, but the output would consistent. If it were architected and engineered correctly it would do a better job.

    That's funny...  I heard Michael Christian's voice,  but I saw Gills arm right up Michael's trouser leg...  And sounded like Gill's phrasing,  to me.

    I thought last week's one was not suspendable but for some reason I reckon this was worse, anyone agree?  although he didnt elbow him, he blatently went high with both arms and it was completely premeditated.

    should have gotten a week

    Every single player should line him up and take him out identically and see what happens

    It was a jumping head shepherd two weeks in a row. Similar to jumping up a goal post. Nothing reportable here.

    I'm glad Ablett got off last week's. For mine it was a free kick and 50m penalty, a small fine at worst.

    But I have no idea how he got off this one. Atrocious.

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
