Sooky little ■■■■ did it after giving away a free as well
I think this time the only people who see Rioli is a victim are Port fans. Everyone else has seen the light.
Good mate is a Port fan. Most of them do not think this.

The AFL has suspended him for 1 game and it just happens to be the one he is “voluntarily” missing

The AFL should say the suspension starts next week.
Why am I not surprised by all this.
The grub has been hitting blokes behind play, and yelling death threats at players. What a hero.
What the fck has Port been doing? What the fck has the AFL been doing?
Lmfao
Examples…
Some of the Port commentary coming out in the last day or so ran very close to insinuating that rioli had suffered instances of inappropriate comments and he was reacting.
If I was Roberts or Dale you’d want to carefully review those comments just to see if there was any defamation of their character.
Port are pulling the ‘we are disgusted with his behaviour’ and at the same time saying ‘rioli cops incredible racist abuse’. That’s a line I don’t envy them tiptoeing over.

I love the whole “We’re not excusing Rioli’s behaviour except that we are” narrative from Port. They’re trying to play the race card but it’s backfiring big time.

Probably the least intimidating player in the comp. Chicken legs and an upper body that looks like it’s never completed a single push-up in its existence

Compensates by being a head hunting sniper.
This is why we should get keogh in the MSD.
Sole purpose is to rhinoceros trample Rioli.
Why do they write off previous years’ striking charges. I can understand it for the horseshit rough play charges and fines that have only been an offence for the last 15 years.
Rioli has concussed guys repeatedly the last few years, Ridley amongst them, although Graham Cornes blamed Ridley for being weak.
If you hit someone hard with a punch, you compulsorily get suspended and the suspension gets longer for each offence. You might start dropping old offences after 4 or 5 years, but don’t let guys off for punches.
You can bet on it that he’ll become the victim because of the social media crap but he’s a dirty little thug.

Unfortunately he’s injured and out for the year. Maybe could use his crutches to inflict some damage?

I actually meant to say Crossley but would also accept a keogh crutch attack.

It is interesting how some penalties are handed out. Must feel a bit for the Suns bloke who got 5 weeks seems excessive when compared to other things that happen on/offield.
Even the GWS guy who got in trouble for mad monday and received match penaltys.
