"It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.
YOU BETCHA!!!!!! -
sanity has prevailed, how on earth he was referred to the tribunal in the first placeComment

Not cleared, just pleaded guilty.. so still run by a bunch of idiots. Mitchell owes him a few beers."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

97 demerit points and a fine is too much for that. The AFL has been taken over by idiots.Occupational hazards:

that's still BS. The club should have grown some balls and fought it tooth and nail.Comment

What was the difference between Kirk's bump on the umpire and Luke Power's etc that meant he was facing a stiffer penalty?Comment
-
Good to see him cleared but the penalty he's received (97 demerit points and a fine) is too harsh IMO.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

is he still elligable for the Brownlow or not?Comment

My understanding of the rules as explained in the Goodes situation last year (or was it '07?) is: no. If the activation points of the offence you plead to/are found guilty of, are over 100, then you're ineligible, regardless of whether discounts take you below the 100 so you don't actually serve time.
His decision tonight is the action of the ultimate team man. The lawyers would have said 'we've got some (very small) chance of beating it entirely, and some (moderately good) chance of getting found guilty only of negligent contact, both of which avoid suspension. But of course if we go down on the reckless contact at a defended hearing, it's an automatic one game; and the current politics of umpire contact is such, that this result has to be a chance despite the merits of our defence'.
Kirk took the view (rightly) that his record is so good that the demerit points are very unlikely to ever be used against him, and so pleading to the higher charge was the only way of locking in a no-suspension outcome. Brownlow glory didn't come into it; or if it did, it was totally outweighed by doing the right thing for the team.Comment

Saw on the news this morning that Roosey was on his way to Melbourne for a "please explain" meeting.
Stick it up em Roosey.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
