Goodes

[Hawthorn United]

There's no defending that.

Missed the ball by a fair way... maybe he was trying to head it in for goal? Muscle memory from his soccer playing days.

You are not seriously comparing a guy running off the wing to jump and elbow a player to the head are you?

Sidebottom also had his arm tucked in.
Whats the difference? Ones isnt an AFL darling

Apparently its the same thing!!

One was also a blatant breach of the rules. The other was a contest.

Hilarious people thought they'ed suspend the love child of the Leagues franchise team.

GWS? GC? Living in the past

the balls location is slightly different in the two cases dont you reckon?

i thought he was lucky not to cop a week reduced to off by pleading guilty by letter of the law, but not more than harvey or hocking

stevie j was stiff

ill ignore the goodes rubbish about him being protected, put it aside

there are inconsistencies in this MRP, no denying that

Doesn't the location of the ball determine negligent, reckless or intentional? Not 100% sure about that but I know for a fact impact is low, medium or high irregardless of the position of the ball, and that's the fact that many of us don't understand.

Both incidents had similarities. With the amount inconsistency shown by the MRP thus far, it wouldn't have surprised me if both were graded the same - in face at least Weller had the ball - Sidebottom was just stupid by electing to bump and leave the ground. Goodes just leapt up and collected Selwood - I don't think he had a realistic opportunity to get to the ball at all.

Personal



Speaks the person who states the MRP is corrupt with no clear evidence that be laughed at in the courtroom

You have a problem with personal? Sorry I dont accept people putting words in my mouth. Especially those who I consider a good bloke. And also has nothing to do with you so, zip it.
The MRp is a joke. Can you quote where I said they are corrupt?

No your still slightly in front of Collingwood.

You mean a contest like Rougheads?

SM please explain to me what sidebottom did was any different to Goodes.
Humour me.

Not sure which incident you're referring to.. the one on McGlynn where he smashes him in the head?

 

[Number37]

CONTEST?? WTF.
McGlynn went for the ball, Roughead went for McGlynn's head. Weak.

He sprinted in from the wing, jumped, and clipped the Saints player, who was so badly injured he was immediately subbed.

Goodes and Selwood leapt for the ball, Goodes hit late because Selwood tapped the ball away, and Selwood didn't even leave the ground.

Summary of last few weeks incidents.

Sidebottom - Good bloke, very unlucky.
Hocking - Nothing in it all.
Viney - The game is dead if he goes for that.
Hannebery - This is a disgrace. Could have put Hurley in a wheelchair. Should have got at least 8 weeks.
Goodes - Die Goodes, die.

 

[kidkenobi]

Couldn't have said it better.

So clearly you'll be happy for Goodes to cop the same hit to the head next week then? And you'll just sit back and say 'ooo great contest!'?

If it was similar circumstances? Sure why not?

The bolded is the ONLY difference and the reason why one person is having a 4 week holiday. As Ive said before FAR too much emphasis is on the end result and not the act itself.

Wow. Let me point this out again. One ran from 20 metres away with the sole intent to jump and hit a guy in the head. The other jumps as the ball is hit away and clips a guy high. One player was falling to the ground without control of his body while the other apparently was so rattled he shook his head momentarily before playing on. One player got subbed off while the other didn't even leave the field of play. Yeah, no difference at all.
