Break out the bibs & skirts, divide the ground into thirds as this decision has reduced our great game to an oversized version of netball. What a joke, asking a professional footballer to pirouette away from a contest. Do the clowns running the AFL/MRP/tribunal have any clue concerning the spirit in which our game, a contact sport, should be played? I personally, have lost faith in those incumbent with the welfare of the greatest game on the planet.

Whilst I compltely disagree with a suspension in this instance, the MRP have set precedence this season with some truly stupendous decisions. They cannot back track now. Debatable whether or not he had an option to tackle or not, but he braced, made contact with the head and injured the oposition player. If Fyfe gets two weeks, he should too. Accidental head clashes are part of the game. The real problem in this instance is the MRP/Tribunal in the first place.
