Retired #9: Brendon Goddard - Retires a winner - Thanks for everything BJ

[kelvin_sheedy]

Challenging won't do anything. The AFL is out to get us, the tribunal will fall into line.

You are allowed to bring in precedents this year if I read it right. I reckon we can find 50 of similar shots. Just get a highlight reel of Goodes.

I imagine that the club will challenge the decision. Get it downgraded to a strike and Goddard will will get a reprimand.

but it's not a strike

dont really see how it can get overturned. dont really see how it was enough impact.

 

[Donakebab]

Gary Ablett elbows someone in the throat.....reprimand
Goddard bumps port player, plays for Essendon......2 weeks
dat MRP logic

Ablett didn't even get a reprimand, it was considered insufficient force.

Doesn't matter. The AFL will tell the Tribunal to give him 2 weeks and they'll do it

 

[ZaharakisFTW]

Cornes so obviously threw himself back there to milk a free, the fact that the MRP even looked at it is beggars f*cking belief. Two weeks is so ludicrous that they may as well charge him with bringing the game into disrepute.

I wasn't aware that Goddard did this after a goal had been kicked ftr. I feel it changes things but I'd still lean to it not being enough force

 

[DapperDon]

Challenge.

This is deadset an AFL agenda. **** these campaigners.

 

[Bomberboy2013]

Did not even notice this when watching the game WTF this is bullshit f u tribunal EFC must challenge, take the risk and have Goddard for Collingwood

 

[Vander18]

Can't see him getting off....not sure what we could argue? Think force was enough to justify in this day and age.

Would have been assessed as having a good record if not for umpire contact in 2010....FFS

He has no existing good or bad record.

 

[Duckworth]

Goddard is more important against Collingwood than the Bulldogs game. I say we challenge it.

 

[BrunoV]

To be honest he should get a week for it.

Goal kicked, Cornes not looking, entitled to expect no contact and he smashed him.

Sorry BJ but you'd better have a rest this week.

 

[BomberFan355]

It was a stupid act from a leader FFS.

Cornes looked away at an inappropriate time. Just before Goddard went for him he was looking towards Goddard, then looks away and down he goes. I dont care what anyone says about force and being a stupid act and what not - this report is a ****ing disgrace to football. This shit happens at the opening bounce, a free is paid and on with life.

 

[Wattos Waste]

Cornes can get ****ed

 

[BomberTime]

I dont know why we are blaming Cornes, he has done nothing wrong. This is about the AFL and the fact we haven't rolled over and accepted things like they would have liked.

Come on he wasn't even close to Heppell.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Honestly who wouldn't want to hit a campaigner like Cornes?

 

[FedEXFalls]

Everyone on 360 agreed that there is very little chance that challenging it will do anything with the system how it is. All seemed to agree that it shouldn't have been a suspension in the first place though. Roos was fairly shocked when told it was 2 weeks down to 1.

 

[Blind Turn]

The only legacy the fat man wanted in the end, was to make the game safe. At the end of the day, who'll look after our children.

That felt incredibly satisfying to watch... several times over...

That's quite the exaggeration.

Cornes is one of the best taggers in the game, and a very popular player. He and Buddha are similar taggers

 

[Vander18]

That's right....would have been good ( with accompanying discount) if not for the incident I mentioned.

Dunno why but I hate him. Decent player but I hate him.

I hate his brother, but Kane is one of my favourites
