Wakes gets a week for looking at an umpire.
Spider gets a week.
Colbert runs one over and doesn't get booked.
Reiwoldt(sp?) gets off coz he baked the ump biscuits after the game.
Jeff White is up apparently this week.
Yet no report came from Roos/Crows when a Roos player touched an ump on the boundary in the 1st or 2nd qtr.

And in another instance, Archer doesn't get cited for punching Carey to the stomach, whereas Lloyd got reported 3-4 weeks ago for the same thing. I know those last instances don't effect us, but how much longer are these "suits" gonna f%#k our game up for with their inconsistencies?????????

Makes absolutely no sense.

Seems Riewoldt is a favourite of the AFL - 9 St Kilda players and 9 Bulldogs have been cited for their part in the melee, but Riewoldt wasn't amongst those cited. In fact, Jose Romero (now runner for the Bullies) has been cited for contact with Riewoldt (no word yet on his collision with Hamill).

Can he do anything wrong, this kid? Or is he really the golden boy, St Nick, as everyone has been suggesting?

Can somebody explain why you can not touch a field umpire but for years you have been allowed to run through goal umpires?

One was knocked over on friday night, any reports about that?

AS for st nik; anybody notice how much of a lab experiment gone wrong he looks like? The only thing missing is bolts in his neck.

the reporting and tribunal review system is a farce. how many people do they have running this thing, and why aren't they making sure they do things consistently. it's a joke at the moment, and a consitant trend must be set otherwise this will continue and other players will be unnecessarily suspended.

How could we not like the one year wonder named Riewoldt? They have to pity him you now, the poor bastard does play for St. Kilda, I think that is enough of a punishment
