Daniel Cross - Bump

Dal_Santos_Gal · Sun 12 Sep 2010 12:07am

Did anyone else see the bump he made tonight, its going to be touch and go for him. Ch 10 believes he hit the shoulder first but I am not convinced.
He definitely made head high contact but the question is was it shoulder contact first?

No case to answer. The swans player got pushed into it by his own player. Lets just beat them and not worry about the result on the MRP.

Gotta agree with this.

Think he'll play, wonder if Morris will make it back?

Live it looked dodgy. Similar to the Lloyd on Brown incident last year.

If it had been H&A he may have gone.

Being finals I think they will give him benefit of the doubt.

Main thing against him was that the player he hit looked quite distressed fora bit...and they do bias these decisions by and large by how much distress the "hitee" feels.

If they start playing suspect players it will hurt them. I thought bringing back Bradshaw for Sydney was a risk

That's how I see it.
Wouldn't surprise me either way.

Just read on BF that SEN has reported that Daniel Giansiracusa is going to be investigated by the AFL for an alleged offence (dirty tactics) against Swans's ruckman Shane Mumford ..... wtf ..!!!

I am not worried about the result of the MRP, I was merely asking the question of what people thought. If I was concerned about Cross playing next week I would have put boy I hope he gets rubbed out.

Interesting, I think it was Mumford who had his leg/knee bandaged after it was tested down in the rooms.

Well I hope that little turd Gino gets rubbed out.

I still hold a grudge over him due to the famous Kosi hit.

awesome_days · Sun 12 Sep 2010 11:36am

If Kosi, Bakes or Buddy Franklin did it - 3-4 weeks
If it was any first year player with no rep it would be 2.
If it was David Hille it would be thrown out.

I say there will be the manipulating that Cross can accept a reprimand - given he has never been reported before so should get good behaviour discount.

just saw it again on that footy show on seven

i dunno, i reckon he 'might' be in strife
has he got points hanging over him?

I don't think points would be an issue as he only needs to miss a week...

If those viewing the tape are of a mind that he did not need to bump...he will be gone.

clean record, he may get a reprimand

Definitely in strife. Will get 2 weeks and be downgraded to 1, therefore a miss for PF

BallBanger · Post: # 986330Post **BallBanger** » Sun 12 Sep 2010 7:18pm

Looking at the kossie charge ealy in the yr..p66 must have thought no case to answer...tried to shepherd goddard as he was picking up the ball but player slipped

noob · Post: # 986331Post **noob** » Sun 12 Sep 2010 7:23pm

usually in finals theres a 75% reduction plee. so he'll get off

Eastern · Post: # 986335Post **Eastern** » Sun 12 Sep 2010 7:34pm

Will definately be looked at (too much media coverage for it not to).

A real 50/50 IMO. Either;

(a) No case to answer; or

(b) 2 Weeks

I'm leaning towards option (a) as it can be argued that he was pushed into Bolton by another Sydney player !!

Bernard Shakey · Sun 12 Sep 2010 10:58pm

He'll play. Why are you all so concerned with getting opponents rubbed out?
We'll play and beat anyone they put up against us. Why worry about the opposition?

bigred · Post: # 986447Post **bigred** » Sun 12 Sep 2010 11:11pm

They suspending Baker over this one?

While I agree that we shouldnt worry about the MRP I have trouble with your consistency. Of course he has a case to answer and only a s*** stirring clown like your self would suggest other wise. Cross came off the square and made high contact that forced a player from the ground. I cant think of one logical explanation as to why he should escape penalty after what weve seen this year.

I don't care who they put out on the park. Couldn't care less. But I find watching the MRP in (in?)action to be truly entertaining and I will continue to look on in amazement as it fumbles and bumbles its way from one stinky turd to another...
