Goodes rubbed out (merged thread)

[Old Royboy]

Can accept a one match suspension with an early plea.

Adam Goodes 1 week with an early plea

Adam Goodes has been offered a one week ban with an early plea. Just reported on SEN.

[liz]

Maybe he should test the 'Headland defence'

[Nico]

So did they cite Cameron Bruce for exactly the same thing on McVeigh in the last Q.

By the way how could that be more than 1 week before an early plea.

So Goodesy gets a week and cant win the Brownlow and Cousins gets nothing. Until he gets the flamin' book thrown at him no one should get suspended.

[AnnieH]

it'll get thrown out.

[annew]

Yeah I agree it is ridiculous considering he has never been reported before.

[Nico]

The charge I just heard on SEN was for charging Godfrey, not the forearm to the back. If it was the forearm then a charge is a strange call.

[hammo]

it'll get thrown out.

I hope so but Goodsey's had this coming for a few weeks. I wonder what the Bloods code says about letting down your teammates by being suspended.

[Go Swannies]

It will take the Brownlow pressure off him so he can just go back to playing footy again. After his last Brownlow he lost the plot for a while too so I hope this is an early reminder.

His tyres have been pumped up so much they simply exploded.

Goodes in Bad form!!

Goodes has been in bad form so far this season, is he still a chance for the highly contested brownlow?? thoughts please!!

i don't know what's been up his butt ... but it has been affecting his game.

[Jeffers1984]

Another baffling decision by the MRC. Same baffling decision happened with Jolly 2 years ago.

[The Boot]

Maybe his "# 1 stalker" has been getting a little too close?

[Old Royboy]

Intentional contact - 3 activation points
Low Impact - 1 point
Body Contact - 1 point

somehow equates to 225 penalty score = 1 game after 25% reduction for good record.

Only way out is to reduce this would be to have the intentional contract downgraded.

FWIW, the above description exactly describes "niggling" which we see multiple times each and every week. eg Hunter and Micky O last year.

Crock of bull@@@@.

[Doctor]

If it's for the forearm it's a complete joke and will get thrown out. Yet another incident of a tagger being an annoying twirp all game and getting away with it I guess! I didn't see the charging incident though. I wasn't aware there was one.
