I think that it was the right decision re Sam Mitchell
Agree the hit was almost off to the judiciary on Tom though and would have most likely if a standard game with less niggle and intensity
The swans and Hawks never stopped all night with the niggle.....I think it would have been unfair given Sam was cornered all night - body checks , grappling, head locks etc
Brad Sewell is on the match review committee , and they have dropped the points based system in favor or an arbitrary one. Not hard to see where this will end up .
Fairness doesn't apply to this area of AFL operations.
Phew, that was a bit closer than I expected... Welcome back 2012, my old friend! Finally, Swans' hierarchy might acknowledge our most recent premiership was no fluke after all. Oh, and for any Hawthorn apologists out there claiming they were unlucky to lose (again), yeah nah. Rioli fumbled and Reid didn't. That ain't luck, just playing better than your opponent at a crucial point in the game. Win enough of those moments and stats schmats, we triumph anyway! The sweetest victories are made of this.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
