Aussie Footballer Exposes Shortcomings on TV

You'd prefer something like "Aussie Footballer Shames Visanthe Shiancoe," or "Football Team Discovers New, Expansive Space For Ad Sales On Football Player," and certainly not anything involving mentions of a microscope. After airing his grievance during a broadcast on ABC while wearing pants and a shirt in the background of live interview on ABC, the Clarence Football Club member is likely headed for some form of punishment at the hands of the AFL Tasmania, who said that Orchard would likely face sanction for "conduct detrimental to the image of the game."

Whether his conduct had to do with the offense itself or Orchard's inability to properly commit the offense is a topic of debate at this moment, but if they have to use a zoom camera to examine the evidence, the sanctions should shrink away to virtually nothing once the authorities start looking at the footage.

In his defense, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. It was cold in there.
