STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY

Just sent it.
I declare myself as a St Kilda supporter.

But I also declare myself as a long time supporter of Australian Rules Football having watched games for over 45 years.

There seems to have been a denial of natural justice in regards to Steven Baker. Chris Judd can get away with it other players cannot.

Every years I become a little bit more disillusioned about the AFL and its "social engineering" whether it be the fixture, the shrinking number of finals seats being available to the average supporter who goes in week in and out but can't see their team in the Grand Final or this result into Friday night's game.

I've even conceeded sometimes I hang in there just to see the Saints win a flag, but the time seems to be creeping to the point I will happily walk away from the AFL and with this MRP result I have taken a giant step to walking away from the game I love watching.

Be fair to all clubs and stop leaning towards one club more than another.

Great work Trace!

[wallbanger]

Couldn't agree more Tracey.

My sentiments exactly.

My message to AD.

An appalling decision by the MRP.

Just who busted who open?  Stevie J couldn't cop the niggle and snapped. Baker gives him a couple of love taps and gets 12 weeks for it.

Gimme a break.  This is farcical and reflects badly on the whole system.

You ought to step in on this one, because 40,000 members are ropeable about it and will never forget it.

Ever.

Someone has made a judgement that Baker is the bad guy in all this. Poor little Stevie J. and his sore handsy wandsy. It's not as though he's any sort of angel.

I might try it, will probably work

The Labour party knew the only way to back flip on the Resources Super Profits Tax was to dump their leader.

Andrew needs to do something similiar here and sack the MRP. This decision rips at the fabric of everything our game stands for and can't be allowed to stand!!

We can't let the club drop this. They will let us all down if they do.

[Milan Faletic]

There is a STICKY where you can send a message to Bakes and the club.

Please make use of it and keep it clean.

Mr Demetriou,

I am writing to voice my absolute disgust at the gross incompetence of the MRP and their
pathetically inconsistent decisions.

A couple of weeks back Jack Riewoldt attacked Pears broken hand before the game.

Where was the charge for that? EXACTLY the same as the charge for Baker.

Judd elbows Pavlich in the face causing Pavlich to have five stitches - insufficent contact.

Two of the MRP reports against Baker was nowhere near the impact of that travesty.

Tell me about Lings depressed fracture of the cheekbone and Solomon only getting 5 weeks?

Barry Hall put Staker in a coma and got 7 weeks.

Your system is simple a shambles and I truly hope that this is the best case scenario.
Otherwise there are worse repercussions.

The integrity of the game is at stake here.

Your system's integrity due to either inconsistency or incompetency is in dire straits.

The overriding belief is that your system is favouring some players over others and the
above examples clearly show it.

And as a consequence the integrity of the AFL is in my opinion in complete tatters.

I am sure you couldn't care less about me, after all I have only been a member for 20
years of a football club, but there are many many supporters like me who are bewildered with
these incredibly poor decisions.

Regards

[Dr Spaceman]

Demetriou and others in the AFL may loves guys like Judd whose skills are a great advertisement for our game and look great in their flashy ads.

However those people need to remember that we have a 16 team comp (soon to be 18) with each team having about 40 players. That’s about 720 players at any one time.

The AFL needs to encourage all types of kids to pursue our game if it is to survive – not just the elite superstars.

If a player snots another player penalise him – but don’t overreact to a player niggling an opponent.

If the AFL only wants the Judds, Riewoldts, Franklins, Abletts etc, it will have a 2 team comp which means they may as well forget the H & A and go straight to the GF!

Well put JB. Your post is the basis for the correct argument.

Fantastic Joffa, you have made some great points and done it without going over the top. Go Saints

[The Fireman]

the AFL will not set a precedent by appealing MRP decisions , otherwise they would have to do it every second week.
They may have a chat to them and tell them to get their act together but I'm afraid Bakes penalty will stay.
No matter how many emails you send.

Well if it doesnt get him off the charges at least it will help other players in the future because no one from any club deserves to be treated this poorly.
