so what if the afl fined them, doesn't mean i agree with that either, neither do the fans in melbourne, plus the AFL had to make money back some how for not fielding a melbourne team in the final didn't they.

Thomas fined $5000
July 16, 2004
THE AFL handed St Kilda coach Grant Thomas a suspended $5000 fine today after his criticisms of the tribunal.
St Kilda received a full $5000 fine from the league last week a day after Thomas' comments.
Speaking after three of his players were suspended during the one sitting, Thomas said the Saints were "disillusioned", "gun-shy" and "confused" with the tribunal.
The penalties were the same handed out to Collingwood and their coach Mick Malthouse last week after his earlier criticisms of the tribunal.

I was born and raised on rugby league but im a realist and to say rugby league fan are more passionate then AFL is ridiculous. even i know when im beaten. I stopped putting sh*t on AFL fans after the super league debarcle because rugby league hasnt been the same since.
AFL fans go off they get in the faces of the opposition any chance they get. they make HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE a real advantage like it is supposed to be. RUGBY LEAGUE fans today are to timid.

back in the day coaches were interviewed after the game by the media and if they thought the referee stuffed up they would say so, the media would print it and every one would talk about it all week. the losing fans would feel they were hard done by and whinge and complain thinking they were robbed. all this sort of speculation whether a referee stuffed up or not, whether it impacted on the game etc would play on the teams and the fans minds until they played each other again, the next time you would be garanteed a great game the media would talk it up all week leading into the game, fans would get excited constantly reminded how they were robbed last time players fired up passion excitement ATTENDANCE ATMOSPHERE. NOT today once the whistle sound these days thats the last you hear of that match unless some one goes to the judiciary. there is no passion in the game anymore no rivalry's like the good old days (MANLY vs WESTS) when it didnt matter if it was the last round of the comp and they were second last and last on the table and game had no impact on the finals you were still garanteed and massive game cause they hated each other but still had a beer together afterwards.
by censoring coaches and players comment s about the game you give the fans nothing to build up passion about.
look at the passion in melbourne for the afl teams thats passion for the sport.
