RICHMOND defender David Gourdis has been suspended for five matches by the VFL tribunal after making an obscene gesture to a field umpire and then making contact with the same umpire.
Gourdis lost his temper during Coburg's clash with Geelong last Saturday at Skilled Stadium.
The full-back was playing on Geelong forward Cameron Mooney and makes an obscene finger gesture to the umpire after he gave away a free kick in a marking contest.
A 50-metre penalty followed and Gourdis makes contact with the umpire when he stands the mark.

Thought at the time he would be in strife.
Think the tribunal got this one pretty right.

SFA on the VFL Tribunal results page.
5 weeks for that little brush? Please! You don't even get that for belting an opponent.
Tribunal have that one wrong, a fine and a couple of games would have been sufficient.
I recon he was angry because his girlfriend dumped him. She was in the Herald Sun yesterday as the 5th most popular WAG....Ouch!
