Riewoldt's Cheap Shot

[waynewussell 4,091]

The AFL is so corrupt! Trying to cave in a bloke's ribs with an elbow draws a fine (because Jack is obviously a 'good bloke'). Compare this to the one match suspension May copped last year, ruling him out of round 1.

I'm not so sure it's so obvious that he is...

Revolt is a celebrity media star and May is not. Therein lies the difference.

Add to that one team is a blockbuster draw card with the largest membership in the league & an AFL Vic love child (protected)... the other....well urrmm

Got a reprimand under the ‘good bloke’ ruling, ala Burgoyne. 

If it were the other way around Sicily would’ve got 4 weeks.

Can’t stand the AFL’s boys club.

Their blatant bias in decision making makes them seem like such a provincial backwater league. Absolute Farce League.

We get crucified at the tribunal I'll never forget Brent Moloney got suspended without making contact with the other bloke who fell on his head dodging him and went off injured.

Bartel wasn't it?

I wonder if the fact that next week's game has special significance to the Reiwoldt family, has anything to do with the outcome?  I'd actually hate to see him miss out on that game.

Is it significant beyond the fact his cousin used to play for the Saints? Not being rude. Genuinely curious.

As I recall, the Saints v Tigers game is officially known as Maddie's Match, in honour of the late Maddie Reiwoldt (Nick's sister and Jack's cousin).  It is a major fundraiser for 'Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision', an organisation that was established to fund medical research into finding a cure for Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

An organisation that Silvio Berlusconi would feel right at home within.

Irrelevant if you deserve a week he deserves a week, that's corruption at the highest order if that was taken into consideration, sh@t I hate bleeding hearts they f up the world.

Thanks Mr Empathy.  You probably should have made that response against my original post where I said that I would hate to see him miss a game that obviously means a lot to him on a personal level, rather than a post describing what that organisation does.  It must have been the red mist obscuring your vision.
