Misunderstood?

Is it just or does everyone think the AFL tribunal looks pretty silly at the moment?

We were talking earlier this week about a horrible incident in Saturday’s West Australian derby that led to the suspension of Fremantle Dockers player Des Headland and the reporting of West Coast Eagle Adam Selwood.

No –one is disputing the fact that Selwood used the word slut, the only question appears to be whether he was referring to Des Headland’s six year old daughter Maddie, whose name and image are tattooed on her dad’s arm, or some other un-named ‘slut’ Des might have chosen to immortalise on his bicep.

Wes Coast successfully argued that Des Headland MISUNDERSTOOD Adam Selwood.

According to their lawyers, Selwood didn’t realise the tattoo he was referring to was Headland’s child, therefore, he was perfectly within his rights to call her a slut. And the tribunal agreed.

On behalf of all women, well done lads.
