Michael Christian is an embarrassment

Title says it all....

Two players (stars) raise an elbow and make head high contact - cleared
One player (unknown) executed perfect bump with accidental head clash - suspended for a week.

I don't know what Durdin was supposed to have done differently. He couldn't tackle, couldn't take his legs. If he had have been knocked out would they have rubbed him out? It is one I would challenge but the Pauperoos probably won't stump up the dosh.

The tribunal set a bad precedence last week. There will be a spate of them know and they can take the blame. Christian should have stuck to his guns and rubbed them both out for a week just to get those twits out on a cold tuesday night.

I don't think they'd need to give the AFL anything, but they'd need to pay for the kid's legal representation.

Sadly, he is an embarrassment.

Fumbling through questions, "um, yeah, nar, maybe, um, err, ahhh, technically, i think".... he is terrible.

Just answer the questions mate because you look so unsure of what youre saying and thats how people can tell you have no fkn idea what you are doing.

This is what a normal person would say:

Person One: "Hi, how was your day today?"

Person Two: "Hi, good thank you, how have you been?"

Person One: "Not too bad, just the usual".

This is how the same scenario goes but with Chrisso:

Person One: "Hi, how was your day today?"

MC: "Err"

Person One: "....."

MC: "Umm... Well technically, ahhh the day was welllllll.... "

Person One: "Ok...?"

MC: "Well as you can see ahhhhh.... errrr... um, it was technically correct that it was a ummm... a good day. Technically".

Person One: "Oh well that's nice, do you have plans for the weekend?"

MC: "Maaaaybe. But I think that technically that ummm. Nar. Well yeah I do. But technically no. But Maybe, I think."

Person One: "I have to go now"

MC: "Errr... welll... I think that ummm... well technically that's ahhh... goodbye".

Person One has now died.

Carey:

The match review system is broken. When will the AFL fix it?

It looks bad. He should have been given carry-over points for the last two incidents. Then there would be no doubt. Do they not do the points thing any more?

The Cats next two opponents are Swans (In Geelong) and Richmond.

I doubt they'll give him 2 weeks. But you'd think he'll be given one.

Honestly though, he should have missed a game already.
