Aaron Fiora has been suspendedn by the MRP for 1 week with an early plea.

No big loss but atleast his giving a bit out more than what some are currently doing

Yep, he's the regular enforcer of the team, a real hard man.....

Saw this one as it was right in front of me on the wing.

Fiora hits a kid playing one of his first games I think.

Soft as butter, yet gets a week.

The effort though, trying feigning toughness, was just pathetic by Fiora. Wonder if he would've tried the same on Scott Burns?

we have only had 2 players suspended this year pretty good record ,

birrs shouldnt have got dropped in the first place.
he actually has talent and plays for the club. not himself.

Yeah there was no need for Fiora to do what he did, totally uncalled for and stupid! Not surprised! Lucky he didn't get more time to be honest!

Mr Magic · Post: # 620435Post **Mr Magic** » Mon 11 Aug 2008 4:30pm

Maybe he can challenge at the Tribunal and if they are running true to form he will get 4?

At last!!! A report that has gone our way for once! Love it!

3rd generation saint · Mon 11 Aug 2008 6:43pm

Actually knowing our luck, he'll challenge the charge and get off so Ross can pick him again.

Winmarvellous · Mon 11 Aug 2008 7:54pm

How do you get reported when you don't go near an opposition player all night?

howlinwolf · Post: # 620627Post **howlinwolf** » Mon 11 Aug 2008 8:04pm

I didn't see the incident he was reported in at all.

What did surprise me though I saw him go in really hard with the body in the centre of the ground. Forget which quarter it was but I thought wow.. Fiora.
Unfortunately the match stats don't show a lot else.
Can't be a huge loss missing him for a week although I'm thinking the coaching panel may have had him earmarked for next week seeing how it is Subiaco.

Next week is crunch time. We need to beat Freo bigtime.

saintdooley · Mon 11 Aug 2008 8:08pm

did i miss something?
this is the first time ive heard about it.
was it a bad hit? surely not as bad as Barry Halls on Goose?
i can see what would of happened, hall punched the s*** out of goose and got off, while Fiora gave this guy a love tap and got 1 week? if Fiz was wearing a swans jumper nothing would of happened....

Goal Kickers: M. Rix, L. Fisher, C. Gardiner, C. Dunne, J. Allen, D. Armitage, B. McEvoy

Best players...??? Is that good enough reason to get a game ahead of the 10 or less possession brigade currently not up to AFL footy?

I looked at the teams off the press last Thursday and couldn't believe Birss wasn't in for Ball and Max in for Gwilt or Geary - desperately needed a tackler and in and under type who can kick a goal last Saturday.

Birss ain't quick but he's not alone, at least he has a go and of the kids Armitage is one of the few who shows genuine promise.

...and how about you blokes quit it with personally bagging anyone whose opinion is not the same as yours! It's a forum and we're all in it together.

makemytime · Post: # 620686Post **makemytime** » Mon 11 Aug 2008 9:29pm

does anyone else think that birss might fit the role of the medium sized forward? i mean hes kicked a few goals in each of his games and could just be what we need

FAIR DINKUM only one week, can we appeal?

This has got Demetriou written all over it. Another AFL farce.

They showed it last night on footy classified. Didn't look much worse than Gehrig's tummy tap on Cloke a couple of years ago....

saintspremiers · Tue 12 Aug 2008 2:22pm

Look, I wont miss him, but he/we should've taken the other silly report he got a few weeks back to the tribunal.

He now may cop a week for doing the same thing due to carry over points.

AlpineStars · Tue 12 Aug 2008 3:47pm

Should have got life, still could be he's played his last game of AFL anyway.
