Agree. For all their Danger love, the AFL just love dishing out awards to as many people as possible and for that reason I think they'd prefer a different Brownlow winner each year, and if Dusty gets rubbed out, there's not many others to seriously challenge Dangerfield.
It's a pity that attitude of the AFL's does not extend to the premiership.

"Opposition sides are probably going to get under [Robertson's] skin a bit and try and antagonise him and get him to react that way, so he needs to be able to deal with that, and I think as he plays more footy he'll learn to deal with it better."
LOL Dayne Beams.
The worry now of course is that Dusty needs only one more minor infringement to miss a week and the Brownlow. Carrying that into a finals series is not ideal, and really in some respects the AFL has set itself up for major controvery if (heaven forbid) some minor transgression happens.
If they had any brains, they'd have given a whisper to a prominent journalist to write a major story on players going around trying to hobble opposition superstars by kneeing hamstrings and quads etc - let that be the controversy, rather than a star retaliating to a dog act like that.
Then, come down on the dog doing the dog deeds, and brush the minor infringement of the star (be it Dustin or whoever) under the carpet. Anyone watching what little boy Robertson was doing would not begrudge Martin retaliating the way he did. Let's face it, if little boy Robertson had his robot near him while he pulled that sh!te off, it would have been going into meltdown "Danger, Danger Wil Robinson.......danger, danger". He's lucky he only got what he did.
While the AFL were at it, they should have slapped an extra fine on Robertson for staging as well.
Buggered if i go to the footy to watch someone trying to cork those that we actually pay good money to watch.

You are right.acatman1 said:
They shouldn't retaliate (which is easy for me to say sitting in the crowd) but I was watching Robertson and Martin before and after the incident. He was continually belting Dusty in the back, with not much force, but he just kept doing it.
Free kick against Robertson and it's all over and nothing would have happened

Don't think so. The votes used to be counted and publicised right after the H & A finished so I couldn't see how you could withdraw the medal from someone who got rubbed out in one of the finals.easy said:

Exactly. How many umpires do you need on the ground? Just stamp it out early in the game. Use the rules.

Hahaha, too funny. I'm guessing that Dayne aint the sharpest tool in the shed!!
No team could be blamed for trying to get under the skin of a true champion and ornament to the game like Nick Whatsisname. :
