Baker about to get slammed...

JacksonsGirl · Mon 28 Jun 2010 5:44pm

Big penalty coming..

Stephen Theodore · Mon 28 Jun 2010 5:46pm

For what ?

JacksonsGirl · Mon 28 Jun 2010 5:47pm

4 charges of striking/misconduct..

Not confirmed, just hearing a rumour of 8-9 weeks.

4-5 for Johnson

8-9 weeks! Surely not...

Stephen Theodore · Mon 28 Jun 2010 5:49pm

Source ?

Yes, it wouldn't surprise me! They knocked Bakes out for 10 on heresay last time! No video evidence either if anyone recalls!

Evidence from 2 Fremantle trainers apparently

no way

, id take 4weeks. But I wouldn't be surprised

saintbrat · Post: # 948654Post **saintbrat** » Mon 28 Jun 2010 5:51pm

they would >>>.........................
and the commentators are partly responsible- the ch 7 coverage just highlighted every touch he had
should not include the tapping injured body part - that is supposed to be only for player in trainers hand
and now they say Johnson came in with it....

I'll believe it when I hear it, but surely the AFL wouldn't invite the club to take it to court, as a penalty of that size would no doubt prompt the club to do. Sounds like someone's having a lend JG.

I'd trust the source but hope the deliberation is long because it's too hard to prove he did all that....

but given he has a 50% loading hanging-- 4 weeks would be another 2 so that's 6

This better be cr@p.

If not seriously its about time this club makes a stand. FFS Collingwood would - and we always "accept the decision" like meek little lambs

IF this is true the club has to take action.

Agree - this better be a joke.

How is what Baker did any different from McPhee against Judd the previous week?
All teams have taggers and a lot of the tactics used are similar to what Baker was doing.
Baker has had a rough deal with his previous tribunal cases due to the media having a negative opinion of him.

That's just it, Baker may have the misfortune of being made an example of.

Normally not worrried about this sort of heresay but the OP's source is unfortunately very good, good enough for me to be very concerned.

As I have said elsewhere, I hope you are wrong.

8-9 is ludicrous for Bakes, just as 5 is too high for Johnson.

I guess the AFL doesn't want to be seen to be punsihing Baker more lightly than Johnson and with Stevie J having basically a game sitting over his head any sort of charge has him at 3.

So, ofcourse they have to come up with something stupid.

Told you they were gonna f*** him.

It better be a joke, surely he won't get more then Barry Hall and Brent Staker incident
