Some 2 decades ago, the St.Kilda F.C. found itself in an untenable postion with the then VFL and the refusal of them to intervene in what was a ridiculous situation perpetrated by the Sydney Swans on St.Kilda. The VFL after not heeding warnings was forced to go to Court and defend its 'Player Rules'...

Email the Club with what you want them to do.
I am demanding they take legal action (if they know Bakes is innocent)

Goodbye Mr Splinterupthear$e. If I was you I would have that piece of timber removed because it is obviously diseased and impairing your thought processes. Do you reckon it became diseased before or after you sat on it? Why on earth any sane person would come on to an opposition fan forum, post his ...

no i said i know barry brooks as i have been to king island for holidays I must have misread your post - I was positive you said you were from King Island and then Stinger and KillaGram both 'chipped' you about it. You remember teh thread where you were pretending it was your 18th birthday and you ...

IIRC it has something to do with the AFL 'cracking down' on illegal videos/photos.

The Club is just being forced into this by Dimwit and Monkeyboy

I have been a couple of times to training over the lsat month and nobody seems to be enforcing this.

homework wrote:we have far to many topics about bakes STOP posting them please

This coming from Homework who just started a thread with a 75 page long post!

It's not that simple Joffa - by admitting to blocking a player, is to not admit to causing unreasonable contact. Baker merely entered into Farmer's path - as a defender, to cut his run into a wide open F50 area. In taking this action - Farmer has not seen him ( or maybe he did!!) and cannoned into ...

And Homework, it was just an example, not that I think Glass will play on Roo.

Great minds think alike...well at least at 1:39 they do :wink: What, so your "great minds" are going to think alike in about an hours time? If you can predict that you indeed do have a great mind. :wink: Yep we will both think that Bakes has been 'screwed' at 1:39, and even more unbelieva...

You're assuming I have a great mind?

The Bakes appeal starts at 5.30 this afternoon. Around then there will be a new thread started to that effect. PLEASE, can all discussion on the appeal as it unfolds please be kept in that thread We had 30 different threads on the tribunal decision, made for very messy reading. Those of you who jus...

O.K. another scenario:- Gram has the ball on the wing and kicks it to the space he knows G is going to lead into. Glass, who is playing in front of G sees the danger and cuts across in front of G, who cannons into his side and they clash heads, resulting in G leaving the field with blood from his f...

Steve The difference is that a block can be a type of shepherd. Under Law 15.4.2: "A Shepherd is using the body or arm to push, bump or block: (a) a Player who does not have possession of the football and who is no further than 5 metres away from the football at the time when the push, bump or...

I am totally perplexed. I have been listening to 'radio experts' trying to explain how Baker is at fault in this case. They are all claiming that Baker by admitting to 'Blocking' Farmer is guilty of being 'reckless' and of using 'heavy impact' on Farmer. I have looked but cannot find where Baker adm...

Don Handley must die (and his mate Glenn Fryiiiiiiiiiiiie) Is he any relation to Don Henley??? ;-) Sheesh JB, you are obviously a new kid in town. If you cant handle life in the fast lane, take it easy at the Hotel California ya desperado :-) And tonight is going to be one of these nights, but I ca...

You guys should put an effort in this weekend or you are going to be outnumbered. What a disappointment to see the poor turnout on Saturday at a game that was crucial to both teams. I was wondering if that made or cost the club money? Hey Splinterupthear$e Haven't you got anything better to do than...

Mr Splinterupthear$e

Yes I have.

Relevance?

Dear splinterupthear$e What is so difficult to understand? None of the crap you posted is relevant! Baker's testimony, which was accepted by the Tribunal, was that he did not lay a shepherd or bump or tackle or anything else. He 'blocked' which means he stopped dead in his tracks and Farmer cannoned...

I believe the Swans went to Court and got a 'stay' (or something similar) so he was legally allowed to play. Once we lose the appeal tomorrow night there is nothing to stop us also going to court and getting a 'stay' pending a 'legal hearing'. The pricks I think have said the appeal is that last av...

Bakes deserves a medal

Very well put QueenC. You continue to be one of the few 'reasoned voices' from over at Demonland. I was one of those howling for Whelan's head in round 1, but I would argue even that case is slightly different to this one. Whelan intentionally shepherded Ball by hip and shoulder. Baker's testimony, ...

Your post seems reasonable to me

Why not email it to the Club?
I'm sure they could use all the help we can give them.
