I think the issue is the AFL has to change the criteria the MRO acts on, by the definition given Christian had no option but to suspend, but then the tribunal can have more discretion, I personally think incidents like this warrant a fine not a suspension. So the MRO criteria should be changed to reflect this.
As for the media, I dont watch any footy programs, they are all just windbags and over analyse everything and are paid to give opinions I often think they dont actually believe in, they make it up because they have to fill in an hour.
I sometimes listen to Saturday morning radio, the callers are usually more entertaining than the panel and more insightful, except Don from Spearwood who is a goose.
As for print sports journos, a thousand typewriters and a thousand monkeys comes to mind.
