'INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE' 😡
TOTAL fury has erupted over Zak Butters' $1,500 fine for alleged umpire abuse.
In fact, one third-party is tipped to "come off the top rope" in the superstar's defence.

@FootyonNine I write to express concern re: the Zak Butters vs Nick Foot ruling. I hold no allegiance to the club but I find it unacceptable that a tribunal can find a charge 'proven' on the balance of prob's with no credible evidence, particularly when 3 witness statements refute allegation.

@butlerh101 @rockwiz38 #GiveFootTheBoot !!! This nasty, arrogant officiousness needs to be beaten out of the umpiring group...
English

@rockwiz38 If proven incorrect, you need to apologise. I believe Foot!

@rockwiz38 Horrific ruling! I thought the burden of proof is on the accuser. And in this case there is not only no proof, but multiple witness statements contradicting the claim. This is a miscarriage of justice. Shame on the @AFL. #GiveFootTheBoot #ZakButters

The cost of an AFL appeal for a tribunal decision is $10,000 (refundable in the event of a successful appeal). You would think a Port Adelaide football club desperate to show Zak they are doing everything in their power would pay the cash. They would weigh it up against the cost of the distraction ahead of Saturday's Hawks game but surely this is the issue you die in a ditch over as a club to back your acting skipper

Horrendously bad experience with @PowershopAus today. Have had to explain my situation multiple times as no records of conversations kept, no accountability taken. Awful service. I've advocated for them to friends and family so much in the past, but that ends now.

@FranMooMoo The only thing that was well done was humiliating himself. Proved he's utterly unhinged and well out of his depth!

Well done this morning to Matt Canavan on the ABC's Insiders. The taxpayer funded broadcaster doesn't even try to hide their climate activism. See how Speers tries to cut him off when he starts making way too much sense about the government's costings (or lack therof) for this renewables madness.

@TheRealPBarry TWA certainly know their CUB audience... (cashed-up bogans).

This is an absolute disgrace. The editor should be sacked.

Marcus Bontempelli says he would be "pretty happy" to be in the same team as Zak Butters, via Mitch Cleary.
