StuBoot said:The Eagle said:Not guilty of common assault means the victim deserved it in most cases for some reason or another (my defense was he swung first)
Brett's case was clearcut bull**** and hardly a basis for comparison
Compare Minji's case to that of OJ Simpson and you have a better basis for comparison
Both cases are probably a result of overzealous prosecutors, I'm not comparing the technicalities of acquittal or whatever, however both players images have been sullied as a result, Brett's more so.
Doesn't mean we should sling mud at Benji or Joey or whoever because he's got an opinion that we may or may not agree with.:argue::argue:
I understand what you are saying StuBoat but it doesn't help their case when they say Glenn got the right punishment and Blair was badly done by. They forget the fact that they both were punished for 3 weeks, but Blair had an extra 2 weeks smacked on for the punch in the first fight.
a) they didn't show this punch on the footy show as it would have made them look like idiots with the comments they were making; and
b) they were saying that the sin bin was enough punishment for Blair for the first hit...so why was Glenn punished to the sin bin for doing nothing?
It would have been good to have someone with some brains on there to argue that both punishments were fair, end of story. They looked like a bunch of Storm lovers and there wasn't one mention of Wolfy's injury or how good we were in that game.
