No Action

Sen are reporting no action will be taken against Kade Simpsons tackle on Goddard.

BS

saintsrus · Post: # 758939Post **saintsrus** » Mon 15 Jun 2009 7:07pm

Why is it BS it was one action and simpson didnt know where the ball was in the footage, presumes Goddard was in possession, probably a fair outcome

Kosi's tackle on Shane Wakelin in last years final was similar or even a little worse. His report was thrown out by the MRP. We can't have it both ways !!

No shock there.

Actually wondering if our whole side will be suspended for Judd's little unsceduled rhinoplasty even though it was friendly fire

BANG BANG

No we can't, but I must have been asleep over the past 48 hours because unlike the Kosi/Wakelin one last season, I haven't seen much media hysteria surrounding this one?

Maybe it was so blatantly obvious to the media that he wouldn't be charged so they decided not to 'highlight' it?

I was not in the best state Friday night and havn't seen the incident since (waiting for Foxtel replay) but I am sure I read a post that said he clearly saw the ball come loose and continued to polax Goddard?

In slow-mo it looks a bit suss but in real time its all one motion..nothing in it..and yes if a Saints player had been cited for it screams of "corruption" no doubt

H&A vs going into a Prelim IMO.

The most remarkable thing about the incident is that no free kick was paid. No doubt, the usual apologist(s) on this board will say that it was a fair tackle - just to be disagreeable.

The Fireman · Mon 15 Jun 2009 7:54pm

move on people... I would like our blokes to tackle like that "all" the time.

Nothing in it. Maybe a free but who cares the games gone and we won.

One movement my hairy ar-se.

Definitely two, more forceful after he realised the ball had cleared the contest.

But who gives a shite.

Maybe we'll get one go our way later in the year. Or maybe Gardi already used ours up with his single week fro an elbow to the head......Either way...

i saw bj when he came off and he looked ratsh*t, virtually unconscious. fair tackle or not i hope we file it away for another time.

bigred · Post: # 759086Post **bigred** » Mon 15 Jun 2009 9:53pm

nothing in it.

Not surprised here.

Where were you watching from? Mars?

He looked fine to me.

claystreet · Mon 15 Jun 2009 10:15pm

I was more alarmed when i read the headline Riewoldt charged

then realise it was Jack

SaintDippa · Mon 15 Jun 2009 11:01pm

We won and we should move on.

Quote AFL site:

"Contact between Carltonâ€™s Kade Simpson and St Kildaâ€™s Brendon Goddard from the first quarter of Fridayâ€™s match was assessed. The panel said that Simpson tackled Goddard and pinned his left arm. Simpsonâ€™s head was positioned behind Goddardâ€™s back, and the Carlton player would not have seen the ball had spilt free before taking Goddard to ground. Given this, the action was not deemed unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken."

Just watched the replay again - and cannot fathom what vision the MRP viewed.

Clear as day. Simpson pinned one arm and on the IQ slo-mo you can see him look at the ball as it spills free and then proceeds to tuck his head into Goddards back and drive his head into the Docklands concrete.

I do not understand what "Given this, the action was not deemed unreasonable in the circumstances." What action? A two motion tackle, the second of which was a cranial piledriver?

So its now not unreasonable to perform an 'ostrich' manoveure.

Just as well it wasn't Baker.

i was sitting directly above our interchange bench in the second row.

so unless you were in the first row, i saw it better than you.

Right decision. The boys will remember it for the next time we play them next year.....

Wadayamean, Goddard shoulda be suspended.
He fell over all by himself and buried his own head into the ground to make Simpson look bad.

Conduct intentional - 3 points
Impact severe - 4 points
Contact high - 2 points
Players team St Kilda - 5 points
Activation points 14

Goddard should go direct to the tribunal and be suspended upside down for 2 weeks.

Do you walk aroung looking over your shoulder every minute of the day?

Great tackle - worth the free kick it may have conceded! If CJ did it to Judd we would be salivating over it!

SaintDippa · Tue 16 Jun 2009 11:23am

Great????

Dangerous tackle more likely and in keeping with the AFL's modus operendi of 'knee-jerk' management of the game, the spearing of an opponent head first into the ground will only be outlawed after the first incidence of parallisis.
