"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

sounds like our 2004-2006 before we had a proper medical team ... though we did have a lot of young guys with underdeveloped bodiespython wrote: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

The AFL hierarchy hate Baker beyond all reason. They see him as a blight on the game and would like him out of it.
So I'm a bit worried about the fallout from this incident. The media seem to be lining up behind Stevie J. I expect Baker to go for many weeks and Stevie maybe to get one or two.
If this occurs, perhaps our club will have the guts to go to court this time and blow the whole ludicrous system wide open. Somehow I doubt it.
Unfortunately, as we saw with Chris Judd recently, in AFL all players are equal but some are "more equal tha others" (with apologies to George Orwell).
i'm tiping stevie blunder to get an official afl apology and bakes 12 weeks......

How well did Roo, Gram, Raph and Zac play on Firday night
They tore that undermanned Geelong team apart, didn't they?
I mean I keep hearing about all those 'premiership players' missing and St Kilda was at near 'full stregth' missing only Reiwoldt and Gram.
I don't think I've ever seen such a concerted campaign to hoodwink the public over what actually occured in a game.
Since the euphoria of Friday night post game, there appears to have been an orchestrated attempt to:-
-diminish the accomplishments of St Kilda
-remind everyone of the numerous major talents not playing for Geelong so as to excude their woeful performance
-demonize Steven Baker
-earn pity for Steve Johnson

the Farmer nonsense that the AFL hierarchy wanted Baker out of the game.
Clearly it's true.
The people who run the AFL at the moment are so incredibly vindictive that I don't think we should take them to court. Instead, Baker should mount some sort of case through the Players' Association. IMO

it is there for 3 years and he was 2 months from being free of them
