Initial Sanction: The AFL Tribunal originally handed down a three-match suspension.
AFL Appeal: The AFL appealed the decision, calling the initial penalty "manifestly inadequate" and a "brazen act" of contempt toward match officials.
One of these things is worth a 6 week suspension the other is a $15,000 fine. The umpire backed himself in a big moment and made the right call, unfortunately the MRO has not.
@RalphyHeraldSun We complain about umpires not having the guts to adjudicate the game in big moments and when one does, he has the hawks having a go at him.
Imagine if that was earlier and he had to go back out on the field with those players. It would impact his ability to do his job well.
@RalphyHeraldSun However Greene bumping into an umpire, who testified that in no way he felt threatened, was worth 6?
I think Greene should have been suspended but if the Hawks are only looking at fines it seems a bit out of whack.
@SupaCouchPotato I was planning on Xerri Houston and Cook or Watkins.
I think I'm going without Houston now so I can grab both rookies and pick up a promo defender (NWM Ash Whitfield) after their bye.
@magicmoments000 Don't forget about you and me, Abs.
How many teams in the Scodfather Group are in the top 50,000 coaches in Australia?
It's been hard work to get this high.
I'm playing around with trades, but when I try to update a trade, it doesn't let me bring someone else in.
I know I can't reset my team because of Gulden, but I thought I'd be able to swap Merrett to Bont, for example.

@CalTwomey@AFLcomau I hear Collingwood wants to host a game at the G for gather round, too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine if round 0 gets scrapped, but there's no point having it if you've got games in the other states. The Collingwood St Kilda shouldn't have happened.
A battle of two #Supercoach teams. Players with the early byes versus those without.
The bye players have so many premiums that I had no chance to fit them all in, but I struggled to find any rookies.
The non-bye team was much easier to build.
Which team scores more round 1?
