Goodes - surely must go this time

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

I know this will come across as a bias Swans supporter comment but I think the Tribunal has been completely consistent.

Murphy's contact was assessed as negligent, medium impact and high, which drew 225 demerit points and a two-match suspension. His good record reduced that to 168.75 points and a one-game ban through an early guilty plea.

The difference between his and the Goodes bump was the impact. Selwood got straight up and took the shot at goal.

Also, it wasn't Selwood that had lined Goodes up earlier, it was Stenglein.

Goodes is now out of the Brownlow running.

In other news -

* Contact between Geelong's Cam Mooney and North Melbourne's Scott Thompson from the second quarter of Friday's game was assessed. The force of the contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.

* Contact between West Coast's Tyson Stenglein and Sydney's Adam Goodes from the first quarter of Saturday's game was assessed. The level of impact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.

* Contact between Sydney's Peter Everitt and West Coast's Dean Cox from the first quarter of Saturday's game was investigated. The evidence given by player Cox to the panel was that he was bumped to the side by player Everitt and had gone to ground in the hope of winning a free kick.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

How can you make front on contact with someone when coming from a 45 degree angle to them from the side?

DST

then how did shaun burgoyne get three weeks coming from almost 180 degrees behind sam mitchell (forgive my geometry, but burgoyne came from almost behind mitchell and clipped him side-on)???

look, DST, you're an astute poster and obviously highly intelligent (being a sydney fan) but i'll say again, this is NOT a matter of the goodes incident in isolation, it HAS to be seen in the context of similar incidents in the past 3-4 weeks and, in that context, is an abysmally inconsistent, embarrasing and even damaging outcome

Robert Murphy.

Robert Murphy.

Robert Murphy.

No history whatsoever - misses a week of football.

Murphy got the benefit of his history, but the impact was greater... Ellis had to come off with blood streaming from his nose. Selwood got up with no ill effects at all.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

C'mon Sydney supporters, i DARE you to defend him.

He is the most protected player in the AFL without doubt. Sydney are the most protected team in the AFL with out doubt.

The match review panel are flogs.

Yea priceless coming from a club with players that deliberately conduct in dirty play and cork opponents thighs.

The match review panel are flogs.

...And we'll beat your mob - comfortably.

And with A.Goodes.

BOOKMARK that 1989.

I would probably suggest, that the odd one out of all the recent ones IS the Shaun Burgoyne incident.

The rest have followed a pretty consistant line. Based on what Goodes did, you could argue whether it was negligent or reckless. The rest of the report is correct.

To be honest, I am surprised they said negligent, rather than reckless. I had expected 1-2 weeks. But, it probably could have gone either way. Low impact is correct, which is what differs it from the Murphy incident.

The MRP is a very fine line.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

Has anyone else been reported this rd for head high contact?
Because if i was that player and got offered weeks i would tell the MRP to get f***ed and that if Goodes got off i should aswell.

Now remember when he elbowed that port guy? he got a repremand of 70 points for that, So after all it looks like he will miss a week.

The MRP gave him 125 pts less 25% but the tribunal kicked it out so he had no carry over points. The tribunal said the video was inconclusive, but Matt Thomas somehow was slightly concussed.

SYDNEY v PORT ADELAIDE
Adam Goodes (Syd) charged with striking Matt Thomas (PA) in Q1. The MRP with an early plea offered Goodes a one-match. Sydney sought the adjudication of the Tribunal. The Tribunal found Goodes not guilty of striking charge.

And he has no carry forwards from 2007 as his report for hitting Godfrey last year was round 5 so the carry forward points ran out in round 5 this year.

ROUND 5
SYDNEY v MELBOURNE
Adam Goodes (Syd) was cited for intentionally charging Simon Godfrey (Mel) during Q4. With an unblemished record Goodes was offered a one-match suspension with an early plea. Sydney sought adjudication of the Tribunal. The Tribunal on Wednesday yielded to the plea to have the charge downgraded to striking, such process reducing the points allocation. Goodes pleaded guilty to striking to which he received a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points carried over. As the base points for the strike were 125 – they were 225 for charging – any offence worth more than 100 base points makes the player ineligible for the Brownlow Medal in this season.

When I saw it on Saturday night I said he would get a level 1 ie 125 which meant with the early plea it would end up 93.75. But I thought he had 90 carry forward points. He didn't so off he goes.

Next time he hits someone, the player struck, should wait for a stretcher to come out. That way they will have to get him for medium to high contact and he might actually get games.

 

[Ealesy]

Did Goodes only get a reprimand?

How the ____ is that possible when he had 70 carry over points???!!!

He truly is ____ing untouchable!!

Don't think anyone is surprised. The AFL couldn't make it more obvious that they want all the special benefits to go to Sydney. The MRP is an absolute joke and Goodes should volunteer to sit out for the next couple of weeks.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

Which is completely a result of good/bad luck. (Good for the golden boy - bad for Murphy)

Ellis gets up and Murphy has nothing but a free paid against him, Sellwood get's carried off and surely golden boy get's suspended.

One player's actions were more dangerous & outside the spirit of the game than the other, but that player is not the one that will miss a game of football.

And that's wrong.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

What an idiotic comment to make.

6 of our first 11 games were away games.

Whos making the idiotic comments? 6 away games and 5 home games is as fair as it gets. Especially after next week where it will be 6 home and 6 away. Idiotic comment

What isn't fair is that you leave NSW 3 times now in the last 11 games. Collingwood travels further than you for the rest of the season...

Dude your counting do you have any idea where Canberra is?

Canberra is a city inside NSW is it not?

Burgoyne's case is interesting. Originally the charge was negligent, high and high. He went to the tribunal and the impact was downgraded from high to medium. Mitchell was unconscious but only momentarily. That would have taken it to two, but he had 93.75 carry-over points from an offence last year which increased his suspension back to three games.

Impact is the key to the different charges people.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand

I'm surprised people are surprised.

Me too. With Goodes and most Swans charges, the impression is that they work backwards from the points needed to get the player 'off' to the gradings.

Murphy is not a Swan. He gets graded and the points are the points.

It would have been surprising if Goodes had got 1 or 2, like he should have. What he did was reckless and could have caused serious injury.
