So take out 2 "forwards" for a kpd and an inside mid??

 

[Wells Now Williams Fan]

Is Wells ready?

Don't tease.

No where near ready. I am tipping round 15 earliest.

Out Majak, Thompson (suspend-selfish).

In Grima (not ready but forced due to selfish Thompson), Thomas

Won't be any other changes if Firrito don't cop 1 game...

Simples !!!

Thommo rightly cleared.... Calm down withe selfish calls mate

 

[Wombat77]

Gibson???? Are you freaking joking
.

I thought he was joking with Harper.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

It's probably not the right thread, but Nahas needs to stay in, his link play and defensive pressure is highly important.

 

[Dirty_11]

Out Daw, In LT. People are dreaming if they think Scott will drop Patch.

Explain to me how this is cleared??

Scott Thompson, North Melbourne, has been charged with a level one striking offence (80 points, reprimand) for striking Jack Riewoldt, Richmond, during the second quarter of the round 12 match between North Melbourne and Richmond, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday June 8, 2014.

Anyone who cops a week and then does the same thing 6 weeks later isn't thinking of the team.

 

[Kimbo]

Stupid rather than selfish. I hope this learns him though.

 

[astrovic]

Thommo will cop a reprimand, so will play next week. Phew.

Interestingly, little s spud looking at a 2 week suspension while I thought big S Spud was reported? Not sure what happened to that.

Matt Thomas looking at a week for forgetting Boomer is a midget.

 

[astrovic]

As for changes - probably more forced than dropping players. I'd love to see an excuse to get Jacobs in but at the same time, he is getting a great test of his ego by being asked to just keep destroying it at VFL level. Good for the soul to have to prove yourself comprehensively (cf Greenwood; Levi).

LT comes in if fit, as does Narni. Probably Wright and Adams out, Adams stiff but Nahas is playing himself in front of Patch right now. Prefer to keep Daw. LA delivering as sub, give him the bib again.

Massive questions around BMac right now. Has missed a massive opportunity this year to cement himself. He's too good not to make it, but might find himself at another club next year?

How many weeks did he get mate???
Muppets like you who continually look for the worst in every situation infuriate me. Playing a contact sport.....you do know that right??
He bleeds blue and white, and cares more for the club than some "supporter" who calls out on field acts as selfish.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

It was clumsy and he got caught. It was in the act of doing something legitimate but just made too much contact. I'm guessing that's why the founding was lenient without letting him completely off the hook.

The end?

Mate he shouldn't be wacking players, he is one of our most important players, we cant have him being undisciplined.... he has really progressed in that department... if we need to whack someone send in the Italian!

 

[Benno_900]

He was letting out some frustration.

Fifteen years ago, that would've been fine. Not today.

It's called a reprimand and free to play.

 

[Psicosis]

Black and Drew are really going to be tested this week. Their back 6 is solid.

B.Smith must be tagged, or at the very least run with. If Wright stays in, I'd love to see him played as a defensive half-forward, and look to hit the scoreboard.

Tex... Well lets just pray Thompson gets off and Grima is back.

See above, mate. No suspension.

Thank god, could have been disastrous

Sure, but he is not "cleared".

If he gets the same penalty next time - he gets a week.

Correct decision. In my view the hit looked much worse at the game than it does when watching the replay. He was committed to try to spoil and had Reiwoldt not fallen in a rather unusual way the hit would have gone close to taking the ball.

I was also re-assured by the Fox commentary. While you can never take too much notice of Dermie, who loves that sort of thing and probably would not suspend anyone, from memory no-one else suggested he was in trouble.

 

[Zondor]

Thompson pulled his attempted spoil. Yep attempted spoil. Not a punch. An attempt to make contact with the ball. So he caught Jack Reiwoldt. The force was as insufficient as the bump laid by Buddy and he got off. For Thompson to be reprimanded for "that" is an outrage. Burn down AFL House. :stern look

Just said it should have been 50.... which is touch and go because it was in the marking contest....
still lucky he is not missing the game...

Ok for the uneducated like yourself...

Grima - Missed 4 weeks injured.....
Tippett - Out next 10 weeks injured....

We cannot afford selfish people when they are the last we have after missing just 6 weeks before.

An example for the uneducated like yourself...

He whacks someone a week before the finals and this is what will happen due to his cheap shot here.....

Matt Thomas, Richmond, has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence (125 points, one-match sanction) for rough conduct against Brent Harvey, North Melbourne, during the third quarter of the round 12 match between Richmond and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday June 8, 2014.

In summary, due to his previous poor record, his one-match sanction must remain at one match, even with an early plea.
