Players should consider themselves lucky that they can only get penalised for abuse towards an official. We do that in our normal lives, we’re out of a job.
I think it's a long bow to stretch if you're talking about comparing this incident with say something like abuse towards a PFES worker. Out of a job, please.

With all the technology in the world, and a review for anything and everything and a moment like that can't be reviewed, pretty sure we can cut some slack to Freo players and supporters being a little on edge in the moment.

You end up keeping him as well mate? Hope so because he’s killing it.
I did.. Was pretty close to trading him to Green, but looked at his previous few against Geelong, the fact that he trained fine all week, and my weekly score hasn't sucked to much yet haha. Seeing that you kept him as well sealed it that I wasn't the only crazy one. 88% tog has me slightly worried they will sub him off, but playing to well surely.

Who comes off for Macrae?
Vandermeer, Gallagher or Daniel?
Thinking Sanders feels safe, provided he doesnt continue running the wrong way! 🤣

The video review is a slippery slope. Where does it end?
Should never have been introduced for anything.
Hear, hear. Been saying this for a while but everyone seems to think technology is infallible and matches will forever be error free going forward. They always seem to forget that a quick product is essential and what impact will further reviewing cause?

A pipe dream but then finally more scrutiny can be placed on player and coaching mistakes/errors rather than using umpires as scapegoats but given how moronic the key demographic pandered to is, I have no hope.

I didn’t mean specifically police and the such, more superiors at jobs. My fault for not specifying.
