Geisch true to form...

I've seen the last quarter about five times and hadn't noticed the incident - and haven't gone back to look since Dermie raised it. So a bloke on one leg managed to slide in on the most nimble player in the competition? And the umps, the MRP and all those of us who have watched the game missed the event that you and Dermie saw. I'll have to go and have a look. I did notice Goodes the bulldozer in the last few minutes though.

It happened, Goodes was lucky not to be cited, home and away game goodsey cited and a few weeks off.

Don't think so, at most a free kick might have been paid. Subsequent to Goodes' suspension in round 3, both Greg Broughton and Lindsay Thomas (who was the one who broke Rohan's leg) were cleared by the Tribunal after rough conduct charges for sliding. That led to the MRP softening its position on players sliding into contests. See http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/defa...?newsid=135752 I note that it is one of the issues the AFL has asked clubs for comment on at the end of the season.

I saw the Goodes slide and held my breath too. I said to my Richmond supporting friend, 'He shouldn't have done that!' She said, 'What'? !!!!! Like the umpires she hadn't noticed anything wrong!!
