Based on changes to the match review panel grading process at the end of last season I would say he has very little worry about.

Dangerous to guess what the MRP are going to do at the best of times, but if I have read it correctly he is $1,500 lighter in the back pocket and moves on.

18 to 2 at one stage during the third qtr BH. How a team can only get awarded 2 free kicks in over a half of footy is extraordinary. I'm not suggesting the 18 footscray received weren't there but you'd think maybe freo weren't treated the same.

When Freo have the ball not too many people are close enough to give away a free.
Great game.

I think you are right there, Bullies probably got what was coming to them free kick wise, but The Dockers didn't, Tabeners in the back and Walters getting hit in the head spring to mind. I think it is what it is, sometimes it's your way and sometimes not. Was a very good game.

done - $1000 fine.

Not completely surprising BH. As I said our criticism of the WAFL umpires is equally applicable to the AFL ones.

Once again....FARK ME
Whinge, whinge, whinge. Hey, lets do away with all umps - get rid of the lot.

58S what did Nicnat get for his blatant stick the leg out and trip the player earlier this year? Perhaps you can tell everyone the last time the Eagles beat the Dockers.

Exactly

$1000 fine is the penalty so he is still eligible for the Brownlow and will play against North Melbourne this week. Still needs to be a bit more careful with this stuff though.

Under the revised Tribunal system it was deemed careless & low impact. Fine of $1500 or $1000 with early guilty plea ( refer page 4). However reading further on page 6 under Changes to be introduced in 2015, Para "G" which is BAD RECORD it states "Players who have been suspended for at least two matches in total within the past two AFL Years will receive an additional one match suspension on top of the base sanction". He is a very LUCKY re offender.

If what Lyon said in his presser when asked, the ground was very slippery where the incident happened. Lyon was not impressed by the state of the ground. He said one side was wet and the other was dry as chips.
If we had lost today I would not have commented on the umpires, but how can you get one free kick for a half of football!!!
Dockers led for 99.9% of the game and were level for the rest and still got smashed in the free kicks. I have to say I was bemused by the way they umpired.
I guess the Dogs in the crowd were baying so loud the umpires took notice.

Same thing happens every week at Subi, so whats the diff?
