When Rooey was attacked by mal michael and one of the scotts in brisbane as he was trying to leave the ground assisted by trainers, he was called a sook and told to harden up, and it is all part of footy.
Steve Johnson elected to stay on the ground and so he is fair game, just as anyone who gets jumped on, jumped into whacked in the head etc etc in any contest. I think Johnson played a great game considering his injury but he is fair game if he is out there. I didnt like fisher hitting bartels as he was being taken off the ground, it was only a tap but I thought come on fish you are bigger than that.
Johnson and Baker shook hands after the game, laughed and walked off, let them lead the example of what happens on the field stays on the field.
Steve Johnson's actions in throwing his elbow back is reckless as he had no idea what damage he could do not looking straight at the player. He probably should get a week or two. But I to believe that the tribunal will try to get bakes as well after all they got him for hitting farmer when there was no video of the event and he has been put out for "attempting" to strike . They will make an example of him some how and at the end of the day Bakes probably sucks it up and says it is part of the game and Steve Johnson probably hasnt even thought about bakes smacking his hand.
Trial by media, and the herald sun puts us on the front page again for something dubious.

G Hocking having any input into this is laughable. He's a dog.
I hope they both get off, but that seems unlikely. The debate of 'player protection' will be at boiling point come Monday night, as the AFL vowed to penalise this kind of 'niggling' contact.
Given Baker's abysmal record at the review panel, I think he'll get a few weeks, as will Johnson. Though, if Baker get's a few and Johnson nothing...stranger things have happened.
I wont expect it though, as the AFL and the state government are both corrupt.

I am not proud of it - but seeing Scarlett, Milburn and Ablett go all sooky at times and mouthing off at the umpires as if to say "come ON ump you know we are the best and they are taking the game off us - DO SOMETHING!"
God that gave me pleasure. I just thought that we had them right then. Also - does anyone remember Scarlett's send-off of Robert Harvey? I still detest Scarlett for that - so good to see him on the receiving end.
Not only that but this will rock their confidence for weeks and their own fears will be bubbling just beneath the surface the next time we play them.

This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Cameron Ling seemed most upset that the umpires did not favour Geelong as per usual.
Maybe the umpires found out how much Geelong was offering Abblet to stay and then demanded a bit more of the action.

I'm beginning to think the Herald and Weekly Times running a campaign of vendetta against the club.
I'm not going through all of the articles that have been targetting St Kilda and I don't think it is a coincidence that following a pro Baker article earlier this week in "The Age"
Of course Jack Riewoldt's similar action against I think Tait Pears is not even discussed as a possible trend in terms of tactics and it comes across as Geelong building some kind of defence of Johnson. What does it matter he's going to be out with a broken hand and all of those carry over points means he's gone.
Next thing you know Geelong will trot out all the good Stevie J has done since his drink driving offence blah blah blah so he doesn't get rubbed out .
If I was the club I'd seriously begin to think about laying a complaint with the Australian Press Council about the editorial standards displayed by HWT which is almost defamatory as they're trying to slur the entire club.

You took the words right out of my mouth (read keyboard!). I’ve felt like this for quite a while. The milking of the Lovett affair, then the so-called sex scandal which turned out to be a fizzer (the Age not buying into it and stating it was a non-event). Mark Robinson’s article claiming the Saints cheated on the salary cap and weren’t enough investigated by the AFL. This little snippet didn’t go anywhere. Then the Milney saga with front pages and double pages. And today’s front page. Yep, they definitely seem to have it in for St. Kilda.
But remember, it’s the Collingwood Newsletter, and St. Kilda beat Collingwood, is higher on the ladder, and despite the foul press, seems to get stronger and stronger. Apart from all this, Eddie is still smarting from the Micky Maltmouse lying affair, and he is a very, very powerful man. The Saints are the thorn in Collingwood’s paw.

Just finished perusing the Collingwood Newsletter....
Its amazing the absolute rubbish being reported there.
"We are Geelong , the greatest SOOKS of all"
Fancy even attributing a comment to G.Hocking . An absolute Moron of a Human Being .
They may be a good , even great team but they CANNOT lose graciously.
I hope we hit them even harder next time we play them.
And its about time umpires penalized Ling for continually holding his opponent which he has been doing for years. Oh to have a Hammil run off the square and take him out ......Those were the days.

Well Ling did get pinged for it Friday night, but also got away with plenty as well.
And if the Herald Scum turns your stomach, the Sunday Fotty show was a joke. After Brownless and Barrett trying to get Bakes hung fot the love tap on Stevie J's chin (insufficient force to merit a striking charge imo) and the belting his broken hand stuff for "misconduct" they then proceeded to try and argue that the Mooney strike on Neil was "insufficient force to merit a strike" and then tried to go Fisher for pushing BArtel as he went off, again for misconduct not in keeping with the spirit of the game. (seen the footagae and if there is any scrutiny of FIsher then the system is corrupt, it was a gentle push, barely perceptible).
The rampant hyprocrisy was breath-taking.

To say that Bakes deserved a smack in the mouth is incredible.
What gets me the most about Geelong now is their sooking when it comes to the umpiring...on several occassions on Friday night, Selwood and Yablett in particular were more interested in throwing their arms up and looking at the ump than actually getting in there and playing the ball. Anytime they went near it, they would look straight at the ump expecting a free. Cracked the sads when it didn't go their way. Milburn and Hunt gave away free kicks because of their sooking.

Perhaps Mesers Couch & Hocking might like to comment on the bravery of Josh Hunt, and why he pulled out of at least two contests on the night.
Hold On. I forgot, Josh Hunt is a recidivist when it comes to pulling out of contests !!

The Age is a sponsor of the St Kilda football club.
The Herald Sun is engaged in a filthy media war for ratings (sales) just like Channel 9's A Current Affair and Channel 7's This Day Tonight.
The St Kilda Football Club is a convenient target and collateral damage in this disgusting war waged by the Herald Sun.

Johnson is gone for imo 4 weeks.
F***, a few years ago the Scott boy's roughed up Roo and nothing was done.
That Freo bloke keep punching G-Train's hand, nothing was done.
Just because S.Johnson was upset and frustrated doesn't give you the ability to nearly knock someone out with an elbow... dirty thug.

Didnt see it, but if this is the case and you are not being one eyed in our favour, then we should as a club decide not to have any players on any channel 9 football shows for the rest of the year!True Believer wrote:Well Ling did get pinged for it Friday night, but also got away with plenty as well.

They probably wont care to start with but when it comes finals time, last 4, maybe even only 2 teams left and 1 is not doing interviews it will become a problem IMO.
Maybe this year?

Bill Brownless is a drunken buffoon, who cares what he says, all he knows is how to lose four Grand Finals.
Crouch, Hocking etc we're all part of that choking team and now they complain bitterly.
They don't like it that there is a new kid on the block who can beat them up consistently.

I think this is just a continuation on from last week. Last weeks scandel didn't work so now we will stir the pot else where. We being Eddie.
As for Geelong, what a pack of whingers. Thats exactly why I can't stand Ablett, he does that all the time, nothing but a sook. The truth is, he is coming to the GC, they know it and don't want to admit it to the public yet, thats why they made Ling captain. And do you think anything will be done about his comments!! I don't think so.
No wonder I hate Geelong, always have.

I've been really irritated by the amount of Geelong supporters who bring up all their injuries... Last week they were all about how good their depth is and it doesnt matter how many they are missing, they are still the best and can comfortably account for any team, now they lose and it's all well we were missing chapman corey etc etc. you can't have it both ways! You've either got the most unbelievable depth ever seen or you don't!
It really does seem like they as an entire organisation struggle to cope with losing!
Then the articles which state St.Kilda are only missing Riewoldt! Missing 5 players that played in the Grand final last year, then there's guys like Armitage who would be really valuable if he could get over his injury and run into some form.
I suppose i should just be happy that we are flying under the radar, then we can 'shock' our opponents come september
