Well said.

Karma caught up with Barry Hall and Goodes will get his eventually.

Does anyone know if the AFL can appeal this decision?

It's getting pretty weak when something as innocuous as that has people demanding his head. No one got hurt, get over it

obviously from a doggies fan. I still can't forgive the time Chris Grant was given one week for something that the umpires on the field argued was not reportable. because of this, Chris Grant missed the brownlow that year, but still had the most votes over EVERYONE!

So if you ask me. I think the AFL is picky on certain people, Its very possible there are politics that we will never ever know or hear about on the media. I believe Goodes is overdue with a suspension. but I just get some kind of feeling that the AFL is up to something wierd... the AFL vs NRL thing wouldnt have anything to do with it?

If it is an NRL vs AFL thing, the NRL is winning. It crucified Slater and Crocker a couple of years back, and was pretty harsh on White for his retaliation against the Sharks.

It's an outrage, he should've got at least a one game suspension, considering the verdicts of both Murphy and Burton. At least his brownlow hopes are gone, because lets face it he is on fire at the moment. That incident aside it was a great match on Saturday night.

He DID get one game, 125 points, but his good record and early guilty plea reduced it to under 100 so he didnt have to serve the suspension.

Thankyou guys for your support, wouldv'e thought only West Coast supporters would be in on this!! But s h i t, so many players have been gone for less, it's ridiculous! I can't remember the exact incident (if anyone can, please enlighten me) but earlier this season I vaguely remember something about Goodes getting away with what other players have been suspended for. I can only hope his fate is like that of big Barry, who I was so glad was NOT back on Saturday!

I can't keep up with the tribunal. All we ask for is a bit of consistency. Burton got 2 weeks for something nothing near as dangerous as that.
