As I've said many times
I'd love our defence to plead , " we'll cop the week your holiness , just please explain the difference between our incident and this ? "
Show the video of dusty elbowing from two weeks ago.
Caminiti took the mark , was reversed . That was punishment enough , a fine should have been the Mrp decision
In the context of the game, it was a very smart footballer (Sicily) having an understanding of what umpires are paying and milking the reversal for all it was worth.
10 minutes prior to this incident, was the reversal where Frost pushed over Butler and the footy was taken out of Sicily’s hands and Butler ended up scoring a goal.
Sicily used the Butler/Frost incident to suck in the umpire and he staged for the reversal against Caminiti and got it
The problem with the MRP at times is that they look at isolated incidents and make a call to appease the ‘wider’ general public. Christian doesn’t watch 120 minutes of 9 full games each week. He doesn’t have a feel for the umpiring and the decisions made by a particular umpire during a quarter.
That’s one area I would criticise Christian with, but the most damning is that, he needs to slow down the vision and he would clearly see that Caminiti makes minimal and insignificant contact.
The other thing that sh!tts me to tears is biased arsewipes like Dwayne Russell making accusations without really seeing what actually happened. Dwayne’s perception and his commentary, all of a sudden becomes the conclusive evidence.
Stupid act by Caminiti. He’s a hot head and will need to learn discipline. Or, maybe that’s how he plays his best footy and we need to accept he’ll have a poor tribunal record as a consequence.
However, the act itself while stupid isn’t warranted of a week suspension. They should challenge, even though having it overturned is unlikely.
Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Is this s*** decision by Christian being challenged?
Let's hope that we challenge for the right reasons. I can't believe how incompetent some of our other challenges have been over the years.
Are they challenging to pretend to St Kilda supporters that the Saints won't be bullied and treated unfairly?
Are they challenging to pretend to be supportive of their player?
Or...are they actually preparing properly? Have they got a strong case to get the charge thrown out based on the existing rules? Have they got visual evidence that gives the player the best chance ?
