I think he is considered one of the best though isn't he?

I really really really hate the AFL. This competition is becoming impossible to enjoy. It’s a good thing Melbourne is competitive right now or I would seriously consider walking away. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to enjoy. 

You and me both.

if I didn’t love the MFC I mean Narm FC I could just about walk away from footy.

Realistically though, what is stopping our boys from diving headfirst at the ball, taking a knee to the head, getting the free and getting a player out for the week. 

Looking at our boys Vines could take 20 knees before a concussion, Sparrow around 10 I reckon just don't let Gus get involved.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,360]

With injuries starting to mount, may I request that the boys have a week off from MRP activity into the Carlton game.

Our players get suspended for contesting the footy tho, so I’m not sure what the alternative is. 
I mean they could put on a Pies jumper and change their name to Daicos then they can punch opponents freely.

We’d be pinned for taking the legs

Given its only a week, I think we'll cop it on the chin. It's BS, but that's AFL

The flipside is that if we believe we can successfully appeal then it will send the Tribunal a clear message to uphold future suspensions at its peril.

Sick to death of this rubbish!

Yep.. 100% 

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

Corrupt decision 

[beelzebub 23,198]

This isnt about footy....not about rules.. 

It's about ONE thing...   AFL EGO.

 

Well [censored] them.

It's not their game...its ours

Agree, also as Melbourne FC our supporter base should have better lawyers than our competitors providing a comparative advantage.

No it’s not yours 

You don’t even get a say in what your team is called these days 

You don’t get consulted before your club board makes public statements about issues that are unrelated to football

You are useful only for your membership $
