I mean seriously if an umpire is going to stand there and bounce the ball near the square and then runs into the square well it is his fault if a player bumps him.....same when bouncing close to the boundry....he should be backing to the boundry not the corridor...the player that bumps him should get a free kick for the umpire not giving a plyer a clear path tot he ball!

what is the bet that Wakes gets weeks and the Carlton turd gets off..

Cheers

everitt went for a week, riewoldt did the exact same thing if not worse than everitt and it didnt even get brought up at the tribunal.
if wakes goes it is a disgrace!
if the tribunal want to gain credibility then both cases should be dismissed and a new rule be put in place. it is too inconsistent

if everrit got one week for running into an umpire to me this sets the standard of penalty. also the afl wanted no one to come in cotact with an umpire so to me this means if you accidently run into an umpire you should get minimum of one week than additional games due to the severness of the incident.As my opening post said it is an accident in what wakes done and should have been commonsense but that has'nt happened i think now the reporting peoplel have made the contact with the umpires a confusing one.By this i mean it is ok run into umpires this way but not the other I think a standard should be set if you run into a umpire it should be one week automatic then more ifv deemed delibrate

I think that if wakelin gets one week, then nick riewolt(sp?) should get a week aswell. It was the same thing, just want some consistency in decisions.

REQUEST:

Dear Mr. AFL Dickhead,

Could you please explain to me the infinite wisdom which lead to your decision to overlook 2 cases of player/umpire contact in round 5. Either they made contact, or they didn't. Or is that a little complex for you?

Thanks,

Some worthless scum supporter.

P.S. Watch the Colbert Footage.
