Malceski chance for All Australian ?

[goswannie14]

That should read "his disposal by foot".

His quick hands are his greatest asset.

Some of his handballs yesterday were as good as I have seen on footage of Polly Farmer! A couple of them went 30-40 metres to either hit a team-mate on the chest or allow him to run on to them, simply amazing. I think his work by hand has improved markedly this season...as well as his kicking...well for goal at least.

His hands and feet were all pretty good yesterday....

He coughed up one by foot in the third quarter after a great run through the corridor, straight doen the throat of a defender...

And in the last he was trying a one-two through the centre with B1 and they managed to cough it up and turn it over to an opponent who put it on the chedst of a Cralton fwd for a goal.... Though to be honest, they were showboating a bit.. The game was well and truly over and they had switched into training drill mode...

Brett Kirk accepted a reprimand and 70.31 carry forward points towards future charges.

Now if my understanding is correct, that means the initial charge would have been somewhere around 94-95 points. Don't you get a 25% reduction for pleading guilty?

He would have been eligible for two 25% discounts - one for a good record of at least 5 years and another for pleading guilty. Gross up twice by that 25% discount from his carry over points and my maths suggests the base points would have been 125 points. It is pretty much impossible to escape with fewer than 100 base points if the incident you're charged with involves head high contact.

My understanding is that base points greater than 100 means you're not eligible for Charlie.

Cressakel - I think you've been dudded by your bookie.

If the points are discounted, doesn't the new amount become your 'base points'?

Points before any discount are base points.

He got a reprimand after the Port game when he bumped Chad Cornes front on. Was a bit stiff IMO (and the Fox Sports News team) because he was contesting the ball rather than bumping a player already with his head over the ball. And when he realised he was going to collide front on with Cornes he did all he could to shift his body so that most of the contact was to the shoulder rather than head on. But it was deemed to be negligent contact by the MRP and the Swans chose not to fight it, given he'd have missed a game had he lost.

It's average isn't it. You can kick a bloke's limb or head off and JUST give away a free kick...it's not negligent or wreckless enough.

Okay - ta. That makes sense I guess. Therefore he's not eligible.

He's eligible. On the VicTAB at $31, $8.50 to place. Better than when Goodes came in at $30.33 after the 3-way split, not as good as Goodes again at $81 and $24.

Will, again, take wins from the team on the way to the line.

Is NSW on $.50 multiples, hence the $61s?

Back OT, posted this side in BigFooty's AA discussion. If Heath Shaw is good, The Leftorium is better. Plays in Sydney so the first time around rule may apply. Strong final 7 in a winning side should see him home.

B: Dustin Fletcher, Brian Harris, Tarkyn Lockyer
HB: Heath Shaw, Chad Cornes, Andrew McLeod
C: Nick Del Santo, Sam Mitchell, Brent Harvey
HF: Paul Chapman, Nick Riewoldt, Gary Ablett Jr.
F: Scott Lucas, Brad Johnson, Matthew Pavlich
R: Dean Cox, Jimmy Bartel, Brett Kirk
I: Steve Johnson, Spida Everitt, Nick Malceski, Kane Cornes

Threatening to force their way in: J. Brown, L. Franklin, Malceski on field for Shaw or McLeod, H. Macintosh, M.Scarlett.

Can't see how he's eligible according to any of the rules of the medal.

Any chance the TAB missed his reprimand? It didn't get much reporting, given the Swans chose not to "do a Rocca".

There's always a chance but I seriously doubt it. Never heard of a slip like that in the past. Plenty of coverage here in Asgard (Melbourne).

Just because he's ineligible, doesn't mean he can't be awarded votes.

Perhaps the TAB is paying on votes won, not just the overall winner!

[ernie koala]

Didn't do himself any harm today. Outstanding BOG.

Spida was clearly BOG.
Melcho had another great game, running off halfback with plenty of dash, great vision and a wonderful kick...but... remember a lot of his posessions are uncontested handball receives. The hard work done by others.
Spida was sensational all over the ground, with plenty of contested marks and superb rucking. He simply destroyed the blues !

TAB only pays on eligibles.
