Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
It's complicated for me to come to any kind of position on Houli despite the partisan bleating all over.

The MRP grades and hands down a sentence based on that grading, not from any kind of moral or internal dialogue about the player or the act.

The fact that Houli was referred to the Tribunal is because the incident was seen at the far end of this matrix and needed special consideration for its severity.

The fact that he was found guilty should mean his penalty starts at the most severe available on the MRP matrix and work up. Being given a 50% reduction based on character or good behaviour seems like a special offer not afforded to players who take the MRP assessment.

Also, how much does the condition of Lamb work into it. If Schofield got off because Oliver's med report wasn't damning enough, how is Lamb's a non-factor in Houli's grading?

Basically, deport Houli to arabstan with his mate turdball and give a battla his house

Richmond sure have been a lovely bunch the last few seasons.

Edit: Don't forget Conca.

Was Conca the one who came up behind a (West Coast?) player after play had stopped and basically punched him in the back of the head?

Based on his twitter and the fact that people keep whacking him in the head one thing which is clear is that Olivers trolling game is loving on point. Gives Tom Bugg a real run for his money.

Yes, where as Rance is the one who got out marked by Watts and decided to punch him in the back of the head while he was on the ground.

Nothing is wrong if a player on your own team did it, everything is wrong if another teams player did it. This is the golden rule of sports.

Yeah I remember that one, threw a hissy fit at losing the marking contest and thumped Watts in the back of the head driving Watt's face into the ground.

Yeah I wouldn't call a 19 year old having a public meltdown over his first experience with being a mildly famous person getting called out online "trolling." This is why afl players should be steered away from twitter. Especially the young guys.

Ehhh someone like Dangerfield is pretty decent on the Toots. But maybe because he's gotten a thick skin from dealing with angry Crows fans.

Dees have said that Mitch White will be coming into the side for tomorrow nights game. He's a lock down medium/tall defender who doesn't get a lot of the ball, and that will make our tall defenders essentially O McDonald, Frost and White, Frost being the most senior of them with 50 games to his name.

Got the feeling we're going to phone this one in.
