Maxfield gets 1 week.

[Barry Schneider]

Maxfield baggers get their wish.(I am thinking of joining them)

[DST]

Interesting considering both Tarrant & Miller both were excused for what looked exactly the same incident.

Davey was also reported but his activiation points were below 100 so no joy there either.

Surprising as I didn't think there was much in it at all.

So the definate outs for this weekend are:

Williams, Ball, Maxfield

Some big holes to fill but now it is time to play the youngsters.

Also who will captain with Stuey out? Kirk? I hope Barry Hall gets his chance.

Interesting question - I would think those two are the most likely. If MOL was fitter (ie full game) he would be a candidate but the acting captain shouldn't be on the bench half the game.

Leo or Goodes maybe? Not B1 or B2

Hall or Kirk are definitely the most likely.

Re: Maxfield gets 1 week.

Surely Maxfield will contest the charge?????

His charge carries demerit points of 225 but is reduced by 25% for Maxfield?s applicable good record ? that?s 168.7 points. If he fights the charge and loses, he will be suspended for one match and have 68.7 points carry forward.

If he pleads guilty or chooses not to contest the charge at the tribunal, the applicable demerit points are reduced by a further 25% to 126.56. A guilty plea or no contest to the charges would still result in a one match suspension (with 26.56 demerit points carried forward). All a guilty plea would achieve is a saving of 42.14 demerit points carried forward ? that?s virtually nothing.

Better to take his chances at the tribunal with this one; there?s no benefit in taking an early plea; if he pleads not guilty there?s a chance he might get off ? his worst case scenario is missing a week, the same as taking the plea.

Captain Kirk has a nice ring to it

Brad Miller has been cleared and Aaron Davey can submit a guilty plea but remain unsuspended.

Agree with that, especially at the latter stage of his career, those points may not even count.

With Maxfield, Ball and Willo out, it will be one of the youngest swans sides on the park in memory.

Will probably also mean that no more players will be axed, as 3 is already a sizeable number of changes to the side.

[Foreign Legion]

Don't understand this bloody system - too many points for this and some off for that.

How can Davey who has played about 30 games jump and elbow a guy in the head and Maxfield who has played about 280 bump a guy who's head was admittedly low but no malice in it get 1 week!

Unbelievable.

Willoughby. Your time is now!

[Benevolent Ert]

I thought Willoughby was injured at the moment?

He's been mentioned in a few threads, but I think he's still out for a couple of weeks

He played for the twos at the weekend and snared a couple of goals.

Would Josh not still be a tad slight for seniors (if we are assuming the slight-but-getting-bigger-every-meal JMcV is in also)? I have similar thoughts about Ericksen (but haven't had a good perv at him since the pre-season so can't be sure- I have perved away at Willoughby).

[stellation]

I do think that Maxfield deserved something for the hit though, it really wasn't needed.

I was happy when he marked and goaled in the 3rd and then started the 4th in the Forward line as I think he might be able to add some value playing more time there, even if it is just to find some form... alas 'twas not to be and he was back in the middle soon enough.

Didn't stop Hawthorn playing Josh Thurgood - and if ever there was a kid who could do with a pre-season in the gym, it's him.
