AFL - Sledge your opposition.

Ziebel getting 4 weeks is a joke. The roos play Richmond next week so I was half hoping he missed one game but 4 is an absolute farce. He was first to the ball as far as I saw, and he ONLY had eyes for the footy.

The Judd penalty was about right. Probably could have got 5 or 6 but in the end there was no serious injury done and the 4 weeks ends Carltons finals hopes and is enough of a deterrent for future acts

Couldn't agree more ziebel getting 4 for that and a 50% loading is absolutely unacceptable and a ####ing disgrace to AFL, these idiots trying to change football into a softer sport are going way too far. Absolute disgrace. Even more so when wellingham who clearly only went for the man and hit him so hard hard he knocked him out and broke his jaw was given 3 weeks. I agree with Damian Berret, I don't give a **** how clean his record is, 3 weeks for knocking someone out and breaking their jaw is disgusting when ziebel gets 4 for knocking into someone while going for the ball.

I support the pies but I agree wellingham went in hard and towards the other player. Was a big hit

Afl has turned into a pussy sport watch the footy flashbacks that's how it should be played hard, nothing like it is now, I can't wait for the footy flashbacks to come on its the best not as much hand passing bullshit as well

I don't think its a pussy sport at all. It's just the powers that be have decided to suspend guys for incidental head high contact with the opposition. The hard contact still goes on it's just instead of putting it down as bad luck and moving on guys are getting punished.

I think this might change after this year but for the time being the MRP and tribunal have to keep enforcing the flawed system

Dont think bombers can pull it off against Geelong, but who knows, we seem to struggle more with the bottom half of the ladder than the top lol. Hoping Hawks can ream the wobbles something bad. Melbourne v Port game was a big, well who knows who will come on top with that one. If it was played in Adelaide I would have picked Port.

And lol Alpha, just beat me to it
