Rod. Archie. Time to stand up !!
It is (almost) time for our President & CEO to come out and let us all know what the intentions of the club are regarding the Baker case.
They will probably stay quiet until morning when they will have all the transcripts and all the legal advice.
BUT THEY DO NEED TO MAKE A STATEMENT, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A POWERFUL STATEMENT !!

Totally agree.
And media have to turn up the heat on the AFL and the huge run on anti-Saints decisions ... now it is beyond a joke.

If they dont make a stand they should both resign.
Otherwise they will get spilled with the alternative ticket.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

evertonfc is correct.
There is absolutely nothing to lose at all in this case now, so an appeal is just standard procedure.
The real decision comes after the appeal (which would be similarly lengthy and IMO reduce the penalty to around 5 weeks).
Do you then take it to court?

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

the AFL is the biggest pig head organisation and they hold all the cards. Go by the book otherwise it is doomed from the start. If the appeal isn't successfull then go public.
It is not a defeatist attitude because I never said give up just don't go grandstanding at this stage it's not weakness but actually using your brain.

Ken Sheldon's post hearing comments make we even less confident (if that's possible).
On what grounds would we appeal?
The finding of guilty is flawed - in that the AFL failed to prove an unlawful action occured. That there was sufficient doubt presented by the defence and no clear testimony from the "eye-witness" that proved what actually happened.
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

how is it Baker's fault that Farmer decides not to use his eyes or brains?
or that Farmer preferred to go at the man rather than the ball?
Baker didn't purposefully stop so that Farmer could run into him.
Farmer should also be charged for engaging in rough conduct, making high contact and acting recklessly.
He shouldn't have been running so close to him and then Baker wouldn't have that huge bump on his head.
