Storm in a tea cup. Why worry about stuff like this?
We've got the scum and choppers next 2 games. That's all that matters.

Both will have a few cards.
But the point is if a team is constantly foul, (not including muscat), they will pick up yellows and get suspensions, which is its own penalty.
Maybe if the cards were for cynical fouls, professional fouls, violent behaviour etc. But nothing little fouls?
And it should not matter how many cards are given in the match. The match review panel should be looking at how foul the team was, not how the ref saw it.

Everyone forgets the Mariers came last, last season in the Fair Play award which Perth seems to win every year.
So i will keep taking yellows if it means 3 points.

If you play a bustling, busy, aggressive defence from the front like we do, you're going to give away more free kicks and quite likely more cautions. I bet we win more tackles that other teams as well, plus we might force more errors and break play up more effectively.
It might be branded as 'anti-football', but as Simon Hill rightly wrote it's really more important to get three points than play to a particular pundit's preferred plan.

Problem is, the 3 points stop once key players get suspended for accumulating too many cautions

Thats where our improved depth of squad comes in.
Anyway, I don't think its going to be too much of a problem. The first game was just a combination of anti Hernandez/Allsop/Thompson tactics plus the Breeze factor. Granted, the derby games will probably be similar, but I don't think we will play every game that way this year.

Besides, last season wasn't exactly our finest, so not the best one to talk about 'copping yellows to win games...'

Disagree with that. Being hard at the ball and making other teams earn it is just what this squad needs to do. We were in card trouble early in the season last season and were top at the turn of the new year go figure.Capn Gus Bloodbeard said:
Players can pick up more cards this season before suspension. Players who were poor last season like Pedj and Heff didn't even get a card so they have some to give. Like i said winning games at the moment is more important than worrying about card counts. We also have depth in key positions to cover suspensions and injuries this season.

You keep saying 'look at our card tally last season'. Well, I am - and what does it prove?
If we had the highest card count and did well last season then you may have a point; as it was, we didn't do that great at all.
As the season went on we got hurt bad as players started to pick up suspensions for accumulated cards, and I have no doubt this cost us valuable points on the ladder.
Some may argue that you need to pick up some cards from time to time, and that's fair enough - sometimes you need a player to put a big hit on or break up an attack even if it means getting a card. Some cards are just stupid to get and don't benefit the team.
Still, last season we were hurt by accumulated suspensions. We can be hard on the ball, but there's no point if it puts our key players out - or if, like what happens when we usually play Newcastle, that we're so focussed on hitting the players that we forget there's a ball that we're supposed to put into the net.
We might have the depth to cover suspensions, but I still don't like going in without key players.
I personally didn't think there was enough of an issue with filthy matches in the HAL to introduce this policy anyway - for teams involved in large confrontations, fair enough (though I think the FFA needs to hold the individuals accountable with post-match cautions and red cards as well). Diving, fantastic - I'm just curious as to what the reasoning behind this measure is.
Anyway, as said before it's too early to tell how our discipline is going to be, it was only one match. At the ground I really couldn't see what any of the cautions were for, except Hutcho's.
On the plus side, I still don't consider our side particularly 'dirty' - we don't throw in the cheap shots and really try to cause serious injury like Newcastle and Melbourne do. There's a difference between a hard tackle and a really dirty one, IMO, and for the most part we just put big hits one, sometimes go for the tactical foul, other times might just be a loss of concentration (such as a studs up challenge earning a yellow or red).
