Gowans not guilty
Rowe guilty reprimand
Grocke not guilty
Jace Bode guilty reprimand

When you consider the sentence handed down to Nick Salter earlier in the year these decisions are an absolute joke.

This process is completely unaccountable and immune to scrutiny and should be investigated.

But I know it will not happen.

Unusual for Chris Gowans to get into a fight with another player.

Did you see the footage R&B ???

He and Sam Rowe were in a wrestle, Sam threw a punch at Chris, Chris retaliated...

You'd expect the same from a Westies player if someone threw a punch at them wouldn't you ?

So both players throw a punch and nothing

the way it should be

So suspend both of them. One week the Gowans are mouthing off at the umpires at half time next week one is punching someone and nothing happens. Give me a break!

get over it mate, two blokes had a bit of a roll around and they got off the way it should be, after all it is a mans sport and no one was hurt.

And of course, poor little Chris would have had nothing to do with the fight starting in the first place.

And you know that for a fact AH, you know EXACTLY what transpired post siren do you?

geez a few of you blokes need to start supporting the netball, the rules might be a tad more to your liking.

Sorry, I forgot that I had no right to make comment about B1 & B2. From now on I'll only put forward kind gleaming words of praise for them both. However you may need to remind me when my eyes see the awful truth.

I got no real problems with either getting off, just a tad incredulous that when a Glenelg player throws a punch off the ball its a one-weeker but when other players throw them post siren (aka off the ball) - nothing.

Thats the frustrating bit the inconsistancy. Salter and Grima charge earlier this year 1 week, Grocke charges someone nothing. Another player got off three weeks ago on a charging report too.

1 Retaliation is no excuse
2 Why did Salter get suspended?
3 Gowans laughed and joked about elbowing Rowe in the head after the game
4 Rowe is not naturally agressive
5 These people are incompetent
6 THERE IS NO RIGHT OF APPEAL

well said am Bays

What the truth that he has more premiership medals by himself than all the current sturt players put together.

Oh and off course Chambers runs around saying "excuse me Mr Williams can i please have a minute of your time to discuss you previous decision"

Grocke did not charge. Was different to Salter's.

How so?

Chris didn't throw a punch.
