This is not Dees related 

I have added links to 2 videos and was wondering if anyone could spot the difference and explain how the rules work? Because I have no idea..

Sorry u have to watch an ad and go 35 sec in to the Soldo video but does anyone care to explain what was different in those 2 videos..... I cam up with one difference but Budda Hocking and Gil ensure me the system is working fine....

 

Im not going to get started on umpiring.....

 I’ve given up, like so many others UH.

You will have to excuse me for not being on social media....

But Im glad someone has run with it..... I bet none of the gutless yes men in the media say anything

For a so called professional sport its an absolute joke.... The AFL are a joke..

Ablett's hit was deliberate, unnecessary, to the head and with raised arms. One week minimum.

Soldo was responding to an aggressive movement to block him while play was stopped. One week laughable.

Gilo and Chriso should both go now to save further embarrassment. Shocking Hocking too.

2,437 posts probably says you are...

Wallace basically said in his 40 years of football it's always been about who you are, so he has called it out.

Your first problem is to believe that the business called ‘football’ has to be fair.  This would preclude maximising profit.

Fair call.

The irony of Hocking lamenting the booing of Ablett is ripe to almost off. By not suspending him they’re effectively elevating him above everyone else and putting a target on his back for opposition supporters.   

Classic AFL. 

Ivan who? Laugh?... I couldn't start.

Damien Barrett is often annoying but to his credit has always been solid on the need for consistency in umpiring and tribunal and that the first focus should be protecting the players. Even so, it was a mild surprise to see this on the afl website, part of his (often annoying) "If... Then" weekly article. Conveniently the clubs were in alphabetical order for this point...

 

 

I am amazed there is not more uproar about this.

A guy climbing a post got more air time than clear bias and different rules for different players.

I know this crap has been happening for years but in the era of the over analysis and endless whining im amazed no one cares about the  fairness and integrity of the game. 

Are we all in with AFL or we just don't care?

"afl fairness" is that an oxymoron like "army intelligence" or "afl integrity"?
