    It's typical of this league.....it's responds to 'trends' but never seems to stick with that response. Things cool off and everything goes back to normal....if you could call mismanagement normal but it's normal for this league.

    Or when a 'legend' coach has a sook about a Swans player.

    I have tipped Crows against Brissy and Tigers against Port as my other roughies today.
    I have 5 out of 8 so far and did tip the Swans and the Suns.....and picked Brissy over the Crows who are leading by 3pts at the moment.

    Yep, that umpire basically lied to give that 50. Disgusting grub.

    Crows win, the town will be unbearable this week :-(

    No one highlights umpire errors or bias as the AFL will stamp their papers.

    I'm glad the staging by King and Weightman is being highlighted by all media. It is a disgrace and I'm glad it didn't cost the opposition the wins.

    Last year Weightman said it was a "skill set" milking frees.

    The AFL have to start being tough on them. Fine them, and if they keep doing it, suspend them.

    Assuming that it's a genuine question, BTL = below the line. As in; article - line - comments section.

    Thanks deja. Yeah, I saw that comment eventually....he definitely stole it off Titus, who said it last year.

    The "keep doing it" should be structured as each incident of staging should be half a week plus a fine. This would match the sanction in association football, where "diving" is penalised as misconduct and a yellow card.

    Staging is already a reportable offence according to the Laws of Australian Football. Why aren't these incidents of staging being sanctioned by the MRO?

    I agree they should already be sanctioned. Especially this week where both King and Weightman had multiple incidents, so it wasn't a one off.
