Angus Graham cleared of kicking charge

Coburg's Angus Graham has been cleared of a kicking charge at VFL tribunal tonight. He was red carded during the game and did not play the 2nd half.

Any Thoughts?

Don't like the red card system it's a joke

AFL doesn't have it and i don't think the VFL should

Lucky it wasnt a cut throat semi at Port...

The VFL is seriously weak as piss when it comes to the tribunal. Why do they have different rules and punishments to the AFL? Yet when a case such as Wojinski's came up they simply gave him no punishment because his VFL team has a bye and a break because of the state game?? Thats outragous!

If he got the appropriate punishment in the first place he wouldnt have to worry about the VFL fixture.

I didnt see the Graham incident but the VFL need to get more professional and also have some balls when it coms to enforcing penalties.

I imagine Phil Cleary would have a wry smile when hearing that news, he still maintains his send-off in the 86 GF for roughing up a 14yo Ronnie James cost Coburg the flag :-)

Word from the Roosters is that Graham did not make contact.

Love the VFL grand final at Etihad Stadium.

Card system is a joke. Time for it to go, and probably for the umpire who sent Graham off to be dropped as well. Embarassing situation I would have thought.

Let the video review and tribunal decide on a penalty. No need to disadvantage a team during a game, Make the player pay the following week or two if necessary - once all the evidence has been looked at.
