Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2805067, member: 1899"] It's a very complicated discussion that boils down to a very simple question and that is 'what is your definition of justice?' Are you trying to deter others from comitting the same acts? Are you trying to reintergrate the perp back into the community so he doesn't feel compelled to commit crimes again? It's not really black and white and isn't really something a lot of footy experts have much of a view of (but a lot do, some of the best and brightest have a criminal justice background). Never the less, with a crime as serious as Lodge's I think another year to prove himself in the ISC with the right amount of community work etc. should suffice. He's already had an entire year rubbed out, with another year completely taken from him, a two year ban sounds like a fair amount of time. If he mucks up that chance, fair enough, he can kiss his footy career goodbye but this is a game that looks after all sorts and if it can help somebody put the past behind them then I'm happy to embrace it. I completely understand others having a different view, but that's just my view on rehabilitation and youth crime. [/QUOTE]
