Thanks wookie, this is quite beautiful and the way it should be

I have the following points to make.
Firstly, it's a contact sport for fukks sake and no one was seriously injured as is the case in 99% of rl fights :D
Secondly, the referee deserved to be sent off immediately and rules should be brought in where refs miss blatant head attacks while a player is defenceless on the ground.
Thirdly, as the ref did jack diddly squat, The players were well within their rights to retaliate. If only the swans did the same on the weekend when buddy was elbowed and hannebury hit hard we might have had a more even sided result in the AFL on the weekend. Instead the swans acted like pussies and lay down and let hawthorn man handle em.

Fourthly, if you call that a strangling on the Dias, then you need a pair of glasses and a set of gonads, he had his jumper for fukks sake!

Finally, it's a grand final for crying out loud. you can't expect players not to be passionate while the season is on the line...well perhaps you can for the sydney swans and most other AFL teams...
It was all, quite simply, the referees fault.
Yours sincerely,
KE
