Yes, the umpire was laughing at the time too.
Pay a free kick and it all stops pretty quickly.

Stratton sent straight to the tribunal on 2 counts.
I didn’t see the incident but apparently stomped on McKernan to go with his pinching of Raz
Goodbye Horses. 
So are they separate issues or are they treated as one?
2x charges so they should be seperate
He also flipped the bird the the crowd at one stage apparently although that I would’ve thought would just cop a misconduct charge and a fine.
Just read the mro statement.
Fined $1000 for the “obscene gesture”. Referred for the pinching and the stomping.
■■■■■ getting weeks.

Meanwhile, Stratton’s teammate Jarman Impey can also accept a $2000 fine for striking Bomber midfielder Zach Merrett in the first quarter.
Good to see Bellchambers wasn’t cited.
That’s absolute bullshit

‘The head is sacrosanct…meh here’s a fine…’
Was that the one in the marking contest very early on?
If so I think it’s about right, was late and looked ugly but not much more.
Was in play so can’t be judged as intentional thus the fine. Nothing in it. Move on.

Fantasia has about what 5 - 6 marks on his arm? That scum bag ■■■■ should have that many charges to his name. If you punch someone 6 times you don’t get charged for 1 punch.
Can’t stand that ■■■■ Stratton

Anything less than him being hung, drawn and quartered will be an unacceptable outcome.

Anyone have footage of said stomp?
Sicily got 1 or 2? weeks for a stomp but then Caddy got let off recently I’m pretty sure so it depends on the severity and which body part he stomps on I presume
It’s an essendon player that got stomped, thus watch it get downgraded or thrown out
