      Of more concern is how we cover his absence for the Collingwood game. Goodes is one player that Collingwood struggle to match up on. They'll be relieved he's not playing.

            There is still nothing on the AFL website, or any of the Herald Sun or Age or anything else I can scour.

            A word of caution here, given SEN is the original source for this thread.

                sorry, but is your carping sarcasm directed at me or some part of the AFL?
                then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                  People will come down on him, don't worry about that.
                  If you want to get technical, Goodes has done exactly what Hall did (get suspended) only to a different degree.
                  Are you for real,what Goodes did was nothing like what Hall did at all.

                  Hall deservered to go,Goodsey doesnt even tho he hass treadng a fine line.There was nothing in it at all.

                  It seems as if Eddie has been in the AFL's ear about this one.
                  Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

                      I suspect the MRP thought that they had been relatively lenient on him in the past and he hadn't learnt his lesson. This was something they'd probably leave alone normally, but given his past decided to proceed.

                        We'll be right.

                          The charge seems entirely consistent with previous reprimands handed out to Goodes and Buddy last week.

                            Yeah...it was pretty soft, but when I saw it I thought "Hmm, that's a silly thing to do after the Selwood thing". The last 2 incidents together are probably worth a week anyway just for carelessness. I'm not really sure whether I'm surprised or not that he's been cited. Like Swantastic said there didn't appear to be much in it but that's the way the AFL appears to be going. Oh well.

                            If he gets the week, my 'gut feel' that we would lose to the 'Pies and beat the Hawks (we have a good record against them) is looking increasingly likely. The Rd 21 game last year in particular, Goodes pretty much was the only one keeping us in the game.

                              As I said elsewhere...I'd risk challenging it, and the possibility of copping a 2 match suspension. I think that we'll struggle against the Pies anyway, so no loss; they have the wood on us, so Im not expecting us to win that one. As for the Dorks, I think we will stack up well without him...seems we beat them pretty comfortable last time We wont miss Goodsie. Maybe a couple of weeks watching from the grandstand will get him to moderate how he plays...go for the ball, not the player...
                              "Davis...Davis has kicked 2...he snaps from 40...dont tell me, dont tell me, hes kicked a goal....unbelievable stuff from Nick Davis, can you believe this, he's kicked 3 final quarter goals and Swans are within 3 points..."
