Hey K2K,
Waters wasn't going the ball. He was closer to the ball but wasn't going the
ball. Agree that Goodes should have been Reckless but its not as bad a
classification as everyone is making out. It was either at the high side of
Negligent or on the low side of reckless.

On Buddy, he may have had other problems and I would love a link to the
thing you are referring too in the WA paper but I can only think of those 3.
If you listened to the media he is getting in blues every week! I just hate
how they have two girls that say one thing (but not everything about the
incident) and have at least 10 people that have said it didn't happen as
they said it did but yet they still slander Buddy with the accusation!

Near the end of Carey's playing career I came to the realization (although
he later was shown to have a fair amount of personal problems) a lot of the
arrogance that people claimed that he had was projected on him from the
media and not necessarily anything he did. I think if you are going to
compare Carey and Buddy, compare them on that. Yes Buddy might celebrate a
goal, but the guy is as humble as they come, always has time for the kids,
works hard at training and in the games and is a team player! I just think
its easier to label people then it is to fully analyses them!

Goodes and Waters was similar as you say. However Waters was going for the ball (he went down to get ball) were Goodes went past the ball, which was similar as Murphys which should be charged higher, as your not going for the ball. Goodes was reckless!

I think one year is enough.

Seriously does anyone take what Caroline Wilson says into account? She is rubbish and does not know what she talks about.

Ok you've sticked up for Buddy, now admit that he does have a problem. He was in an WA paper and admitted that he did have a problem and he has had more issues than the 3 you mentioned this year.
