When will you trolls ever learn that the Mod of each forum has the right to delete what ever he or she wants to.You write garbage, it will be treated like garbage.Thrown out.
I look at other AFL club forums here and very seldom see any topics being raised by the trolls in their own forums.Do they not have the mentality to sit and put together a piece about their own club.It strikes me that the Trolls here know more about the Dockers than they do about their own club.They must do , because they don't have the ability to form more than two or three sentences together about other clubs.It really isn't that hard you know.
If you want to troll, troll anywhere but in the club forums.It is soooo simple.A bit like......

Many media outlets found the topic relevant to report on. It was all over Twitter etc.

Just being pretentious.

Seriously that is your defence!

Just to round this off, Fyfe won't be playing next game, and won't be climbing the podium to accept this year's Charlie.

IMO, a correct decision by the Tribunal.

I am assuming that you are smirking all over your face right now that he has been suspended.
Far out JS, remember that the MEDIA outlets have for a couple of years now been sprouting about THE KNEE.Do you seriously think that that is serious media!!! Is Twitter as serious as this site!!!
gimmee a bloody break.

On reflection I could have used a more serious heading to my post, I did consider it at the time but did not want to start off inflammatory. " Captain of club in turmoil fixes his hair instead of competing at a ball up". probably would have been a better choice so the thread was considered serious.

I am honestly disappointed Fyfe is ineligible. Probably would have won it, his kicking efficiency is not where it should be but when u get that much contested footy who cares.
Given how soft the tribunal is now compared to 30 years ago, AFL should consider relaxing rules around suspension and eligibility.

Honestly don't even know what the issue was looked obvious from the start he was gone.

I think the argument has been more about the inconsistency rather than the guilt, certainly the way I see it.

I think you're spot on JB. Everyone knows, or should know he's guilty under the current rules. The AFL have caused the ruckus by the inconsistency in application of the rule.

I think Fyfe falls into the protected species category as well, this one was just to blatant to let off. Franklins was rediculous to even consider a suspension

Hawkins was crucified.

I think you all have made valid points which just confirms the inconsistencies.
