    Anyone who knows anything about footy (and human decency) would support such a rule. If you within 20m of Adam Hunter, you MUST strike him.

    Think of all the soccor mums who would come back to the game if Hunter was removed from it.
    Love it! How about another rule instructing all patrons sitting near the boundary to spit at Hunter if he comes within spitting distance.

    How can anyone not agree with those thoughts??? get yourself on the rules committee Legs - we need you there!!!

    As I said last year - had Baz have hit Hunter instead of Staker he would have been made Australian of the Year.

    This mornings papaer, says he will get 125 points, plead guilty, get the 25% discount, 93.75 which is a reprimand, and a $1950 fine for negligent contact.

    Interesting that there are 2 others from the weekend, both copped $1950 fines only.

    I was at the game on the weekend and so hadn't really spotted it, I saw the incident this morning on the news and really can't believe he has to front up to the tribunal over that.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    So what does Sam Mitchell get for pushing Kirk into his path? A pat on the back?

    I just don't get how that can still be refered based on video review, it seems like something that would be more reasonable to report him for during the game (because he did make contact) and then after watching the video say "oh, I see- let's let logic prevail!".

    Good point.

    I think the swans should defend it.

    Take it to the point where they are forced to change the rule to say that if you are PUSHED into the umpire (Goodesy was too), then the pusher cops a fine.

    Otherwise, we're going to see one of these every week. They can't get us to tribunal any other way.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
