Anyone got a video of this? It's probably like Baker tickling someone the way the AFL is going.

i would have thought baker would have got off, more of a situation the umpires on the night should have taken care of. johnson 4 weeks about right

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

he is a bell-end no doubt but 14 weeks...that is a friggin joke...a bit like Buddy getting 3 weeks for a bump and Mumford getting 2 weeks for a tackle....wtf is going on with our game

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

That is ridiculous. WTF?

Should have donned a Carlton/Geelong jumper.

Worse than Hall vs Staker.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

They still owe him 8 from Farmer not watching where he is going.

Disgraceful.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

Next thing you know you'll be suspended for over the top goal celebrations

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

Is Baker a pest - Yes
Was he stupid - Yes
Does he deserve to be suspended - Yes

But 14 weeks? Thats a joke, especially when Judd gets zip...

Once again the match review panel are showing what a biased inconsistent load of ********s they are.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

14 matches? What the? Points system is a joke.

He was given 14 weeks for 4 seperate incidents can be reduced to 9 if pleads guilty, has carry over points, a shocking record and is an oxygen thief that the AFL want to get rid of as he never plays the ball and always hits behind play and off the ball. Hope He challanges and misses the entire final series.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

Baker should have just elbowed him in the face and taken 3...

Heh, I was going to post something about Karma for that, but you got in first.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

It was from 3 different incidents, was charged for each one. There were fists flying all game.

I am surprised Johno only got 4, he gave as good as he got.

 

[Hawkers Hero]

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

At least its for 4 charges so he gets the group discount for pleading guilty!!

I would take the 9 and have a chance for finals rather than risk 14 and no finals and late start to next year.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

hahahaha the match review panel has officially lost its mind.

Every tagger better start getting punished like this then.

Re: Baker faces 14-match ban; Johnson four

Put your bias aside Geelong supporters, it's a disgraceful decision.

yes it doesn't make sense that Baker gets more then Johnson, although footage from the game showed Baker making contact with Johnsons face atleast 3 times it was fairly harmless to what Johnson did back.
