The Sydney AFL Tribunal is a disgrace! Once again we have seen how inconsistent and fickle the governing body can be in this league. Spencer (Penno) gets a total of five weeks for two seperate striking charges. This is taking into consideration his previous poor record in the last few years. A young player from ECE (his name I can't remember) got 3 weeks earlier in the year for saying the F word and had a clean record. Kaseem(Wests) got 4 weeks early in the year after being reported 25 minutes after the incident even though the umpire could not tell him what he did. Livy (Norths) gets off a striking charge on the weekend for an incident that many people from the game said should carry a 2-4 week penalty. Sorry, I forgot to mention Livy is the captain of the Sydney rep team. It would be safe to assume that Craig (St George) who had a brain explotion on the weekend would be looking at 8 weeks or a severe reprimand. When are these guys going to be accountable for their decisions. It sounds like their court has pinched the Cambelltown mascot and is using it as their own! For you uneducated out their I am suggesting this system is a Kangaroo Court!!
