Haha oh yeah, not many Fred fans over there let me tell you.
Agreed. There’s is the type of culture that’s built into football, and not the other way around.

Some friends of mine were a part of that. I agree, consistency is needed, but you need to have the right set of precedents to follow that line of thought.
Pitch invasion probe warranted or a marker of the FFA nanny state?
