Sadly that's true. It's been a fundamental flaw of the MRP and now MRO over the last however many years they've been in existence.

It's a catastrophic flaw in the system. Also this idea that the times player might miss should be reciprocated by the guilty party. Pines OK on the surface, but has had the opposite effect, whereby a Campbell Brown arsehole act gets let off because he punches Callan Ward in the head who didn't flinch but Redpath gets three weeks for pushing Davis who embellished and is brittle.
The system is completely flawed
Minimal contact and the unfortunate part is that he got him in a vulnerable spot
GWS outrage
Pot black kettle
So every tackle, smother, spoil, marking attempt that leads to a serious injury should be an automatic suspension, according to GWS? How about Cunnington's sling tackle on Matt de Boer earlier in the year, which damaged his shoulder and forced him to miss months? Better give Zaine Cordy a week for his knee to Callan Wards jaw three years ago.
Downfield free kick is as far as it ever needed to get. I don't think it was even worth a fine. What a beat up.
Chance of Bontempelli decision being reviewed and overturned?
If Haynes is out for the first Giants final, they are rooted.
Upside is that many of you may finally see and understand that Tomlinson is not a KPD, if he replaces Haynes.
And if he does not, it tells you the same thing.
Haynes is a massive out and he always plays well against us.
He’ll play.
Agreed. Don't blame them for trying to get Bont rubbed out they know they're up against it if they get us week 1.
Greene off to the tribunal on serious misconduct charges. Relates not only to eye gouging Bont but also hair pulling and probably stomping Wood's foot.
That dirty little c.... is heading to the tribunal. Suck shit and hope you get rubbed out.
Surely it's two weeks, increased to three because he's a *!*!*!*!.
What about the **** who punched Bont in the guts?
Going to be interesting to see what evidence we provide.
The footage from Stevo on channel 7 is disgraceful. He should get 5+ weeks. Can’t allow that on a footy field. If he did that at a local footy game he would not get out alive.

I hope the Dogs formally complain about the umpires.
Greene was not alone with that kind of stuff in tackles.
An absolute Grub of the highest order
Story is here how he’s let his club down at the worst possible time
I’d be filthy if it was someone from our club
Agree the umps sent mixed messages from early on. Bulldogs penalised regularly for anything remotely resembling aggression, whilst GWS were not censured at all, thus encouraging them to keep it up, whilst forcing us to pull back.
No point in complaining though, they won't listen.
Just put it in the memory bank, and make sure we NEVER lose like that against GWS again.
The question really is why to GWS players keep doing this?
Because there's no real punishment stopping them. There should have been plenty more fees and several 50's paid yesterday and were not. At the tribunal, it's not been anything overly drastic when they're guilty. Trying to break Bonts ribs/bruise a kidney, for $2,000 is a good bet on Himmelberg's side.
The media/commentators must stop being apologists for this piece of shit, that also goes for his club, coach and team mates.
This shit with GWS has been happening since Taylor Adams took out Cooney in Canberra. No remonstrating either.
Then Greene takes out Daniel, Dahl & this with Bonts. Financial penalty punches and hits from Mumford, Cameron and others over the journey.
I think they think they can go the knuckle against us without much consequence from our guys, umps or tribunal.
Can't get them back the 2016 PF. We will always have the last laugh over these clowns whilst they don't win a flag.
Greene is a jet and a brilliant player - he doesn't need to push the envelope anywhere near as much as he does.
We've been talking on WOOF all week about expecting a brutal response from GWS - we even had a thread dedicated to it from MJP. Since R23 the club has been soaking up all the media street accolades, Bevo has been out meeting with prospective recruits, we've been making big player contract announcements. Meanwhile GWS went to school big time on our game plan and have been eating nothing but raw meat for the last couple of weeks. They brutalised us and we allowed it to happen - sure they crossed the line a few times and Greene will most likely go, but I expect us to NEVER allow this to happen ever again. It's brutal finals footy with no second prizes - we should have been ready for everything.
