[SaintPav]

Need maximum effort and execution to win…can’t rely on on oppo players missing…but it sure helps

[Scollop]

…

What is BBC ?

Has Baker for Tigers been cited by MRO?

1 match ban for Baker - same as Windy

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/04/01/ ... n-verdict/

Same as Windy???? Bakers much much worse FMD who decided this crap
At least Lynch and Balta out for them now
Dusty no certainty …
Need to win this as I can’t see us winning any of next 3, Dogs, Port (in port) and GWS
Be a miracle to be 3-3
I feel a 2-5 coming on before we hit Nth
Gotta stay competitive as we have last 9 at Marvel with BBC a stack as home games too

It is the same - Michael Christian tells us so .....

[Otiman]

Any word on if we are taking it to the tribunal?

Does anyone know - I have not heard.

[TheGreatZacsby]

Not challenging it according to AFL.com

We have accepted the suspension.

So - Parish pushing Windy had no bearing on his attack on the football

Are we gun shy because we lost the King decision?

This is bulltish - and I hope that Baker goes for more - just for challenging

None at all. Windy still had plenty of time to take another course of action.

Are we gun shy because we lost the King decision?

Wouldn't think so, but we do lose $10k every time we challenge and fail.

This is bulltish - and I hope that Baker goes for more - just for challenging

That's not how it works, but the ban staying at a week should be enough for us.

I presume everyone who said that Max should have got off on his charge because the player got up and kept playing will be hoping that Baker also gets off?

I don't think the King and Baker incidents are the same - one was a clip as he ran past - and was extremely silly - the other seemed more of a targeted front on collision.

And besides, King's penalty was upheld, so by that standard, so should this one.

Consistency needs to be the focus.

I agree, both should get a week, as it is abundantly clear that any contact to the head will be penalised. I was more pointing out that the argument that many used on here to justify Max getting off was that the player was fine. So was Melican, so those same people should be thinking that Baker has no issue.

The goal posts changed with Max - it became about the POTENTIAL to cause injury. Last year - both may have got off - more so Max than Baker - but Michael Christian would last year go through the injury report and find a way of shoehorning a suspension into every concussion - now it is about a perceived concussion.

Has Baker for Tigers been cited by MRO?

No - but it was a Sunday Game - Michael Christian does not work on Sunday

Because Christian is a lazy bastard!

And a former filth player....'nough said.

In other news...Marcus and Josh made the 'Basketball background team'

Windhager is on the bench...it's just a bit of fun and not an official AFL thing

[Scollop]

Who just saw the Geelong player Tom Atkins hit Riley West in the head with his hip?

Similar to how Windy got suspended. Atkins hits Riley's head with his hip while West had head down for the ball?

Matthew Richardson immediately defended Atkins character saying 'he was a victim of circumstance'.

"There's not much Tom could do there". West fell into his hip he reckons. Good one Richo ...you dick!

Say nothing and let the MRO deal with it Matthew or just crucify everyone equally for a head high hit. Do you like Geelong because you worked with Lingy for so long?

How is it, that these pricks on t.v get to set the agenda? Why didn't they excuse Windy and say Windy was a victim of circumstance.

[SaintPav]

Who was the muppet that put that team together?

Surely Harry Himmelberg can get a starting position in that backline?

There are influential clubs that set the agenda/are fireproof and there are non influential clubs that make up numbers and serve as tribunal fodder to maintain the facade of rules being applied. (Except when they are not eg Maynard, North draft favours).

The Carlton double goal largesse by that nut Stevic would not have happened if it was Carlton not Freo to be on the receiving end and it would not have happened at Optus and will never be applied to a Geelong player, say always whining Tom H.

Its the way of the world. We just have to cop it. The hope is misfortune visits Carlton from another direction, because it won't be from AFL House.

[The Fireman]

we must be a nightmare for oppo coaches to match up on..we lose a player each week to suspension and injury.

No - which quarter - what time?

[King Max]

Nothing in it.

[Sainter_Dad]

Nothing in it.

Feels like the ball is in play - so there is a reason NOT to suspend - but who knows

[B.M]

No case to answer

West ran into him
