Kosi/Gia would also be viewed differently under new rule I realize this now, but isn't this ridiculous that it's gotten down to a battle of words over an illegal block of a player. Nowhere has Baker stated that he himself ran into Farmer, but more than Farmer ran into him. Baker should and must be ...

lets put it this way i wouldnt write off the eagles until its over for them they are one team who through all the crap that happens to a club can fight its way out and smell like roses. Will they win the flag ? ... i dont think so . Can they win the flag ? ... you bet ur ass they can This is true! ...

Of course Baker is going to admit he had contact with Farmer!! Farmer ran into him!! That's not the point, the point made by Lewis is that because there was no evidence as to how the contact was made Baker should have just said that the contact was purely accidental and not made because he delibera...

Baker Didn’t get a bruise on the back of his head from nothing!!

I wouldn't want to step foot anywhere near that purple puke! They are 'almost' as feral as their West Coke buddies.

Right......I realize the cheer squad can't "technically" do things in regards to sending a message out to the way the Tribunal continually screw us over via the banner (as funny as it would be) but perhaps we can come up with and hand out a small piece of paper (even just to word people up...

Fair enough I will be the first to say that Baker illegally blocked Farmer's path to the ball (warranting a free kick) but to absolutely screw Baker because they accidentally clashed heads is a jucking foke. And this is the whole thing. They have no evidence to suggest it was anything other than an...

Can anyone seriously believe Bakes will walk away from this Scott-free??? All I can say is it's the AFL's fault there is no video evidence on this, cos if there was there would be "no argument" and "no contesting the penalty". On those grounds alone this entire thing should be th...

I just goes from dumb to stupid doesn't it??? I've never been witness to such a horrendous amount of victimisation to a player before! Who in their right mind would ever wish to play for a code who so blatantly drags its own over hot coals to make itself look better in the eyes of the public! WELL I...

I'm surprised a few here don't seem to rate Leigh Fisher. I am surprised. His fitness seems pretty remarkable and in defence he's really proven his worth. Maybe I'm missing something??

We need to make some serious noise regardless of the Baker scandal! We've got to make it a night West Coast would sooner forget! Let's get very vocal, and let's be deadly serious about it!

Our blokes might start questioning their on-field actions after all of this crap! I think the message should be as follows:

Under the new rules implemented last year, 'rough conduct' for Victorian teams can mean anything from running past an interstate player and not offering them a cup of tea, to failing to catch them when they trip over their shoelaces or faint of exhaustion. For interstate teams, 'rough conduct' mean...

I wonder if Freo want to head back to the Dome and take that free??? I mean, it's only fair!

They believe Cousins may still line up.

It was worth a free kick, nothing more! Farmer needs his eyes checked!

I want this going to court if nothing gets resolved tonight! It's not a case of we can't survive without Baker playing, it's the principal of the matter and how seriously wrong it is! We really need to exhaust every avenue to make sure we're not shafted again by this bunch!

IT'S ON!!!

What we’ve all been waiting for all morning! I hope the Saints manage to shove this farcical penalty fair up the darkest chasm of the AFL’s rear-end – WHERE IT BELONGS!!!

That's my understanding from what I've read and heard also Yipper. Thanks for an educated run-down on it. My favorite bit is how the Saints are required to come up with more evidence now to try and get Baker acquitted, but the Tribunal needed none themselves to find him guilty. How double standard i...

that is what formed part of the charge.....he was reckless which led to the injury etc..... There is a silly rule on how to look after your car that has always stuck in my head. If you look after the front the rest will look after itself (unless you're reversing of course) How the hell does Baker k...

THE LAST STATEMENT IS AN ERROR IN FACT. FARMER MADE CONTACT WITH HIM WITH HIGH IMPACT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! ST KILDA - FIGHT THIS STUPID DECISION!! Well no..Bakes has admitted slamming on the brakes..therefore technically he collided with Farmer. theres no "sensible braking distance"...

I'm more furious than I was last night about this!!! FIGHT THIS F*&KING THING SAINTS!!!!! I'm sick of seeing the tribunal bend us over time and time again!!! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW IMO!!

I like the idea of Banners at the ground, the decision has me absolutely ropeable!
