Did not look that bad. He was stationery I thought at the time.

You would think with 1.2 billion in the kitty that the AFL could afford to hire intelligent football people instead of these mental midgets who clearly have NFI...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

What a JOKE!! Negligent my proverbial.
All the MRP had to do was listen to the commentary of the game..." (Insert Bulldog Player here) fell into Teddy who actually looked like he had stopped to avoid contact" . Something along those lines. He will appeal and should get off.Swannies for life!Comment

You could see he stopped so that he wouldn't make high contact. Certainly wasn't negligent.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

"Ted Richards, Sydney Swans, has been charged with a Level Two engaging in rough conduct offence against Lindsay Gilbee, Western Bulldogs, during the second quarter of the Round Seven match between the Sydney Swans and the Western Bulldogs, played at Manuka Oval on Saturday May 7, 2011.
In summary, due to a five-year good record, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Western Bulldogs, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, reducing the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 126.56 points and a one-match sanction."
Full report. Great example of a bunch of idle bureacrats looking to boost their own self importance. No "normal" follower of the game would think he did anything wrong.We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!Comment

This a week after Geischen said players that hit a stationary opponent with their head will not be given a free kick. MRP have NFI.

Seriously?
Really bad call from the officials.
I would love to agree with Laughingnome but sadly too cynical and knowing how much we need Teddy on our defence I think the panel are going to make the wrong decision should he challenge. That said Ted should challenge, it was clearly an attempt to avoid contactChillin' with the strange QuarksComment
