[Kahuna]

[Daz]

[Virgil]

Well, I'm boned, hopefully Proud can retain his position.

 

[oddsok]

Just heard on Ten news: "Milburn controversially suspended for 4 weeks". Not sure if this has been accepted or if this is with guilty plea. That really stinks though.

FFS... with milburn to miss 2 weeks, i cant afford to have Nathan J for more than one... i mite have to use my last trade on him... hope they fight the charge

Is there really any point? They have top spot secured, and they go in favourites to win every game they play, they may as well give him a rest before the finals, which really isn't good for DTers.

the tribunal are an absolute disgrace!! thats not worth anything!
his tackle wasn't deserving of weeks!!!
players are instructed to tackle like that and it's not milburns fault that edwards was ko'ed

the tribunal has been really ordinary lately and this is one of the worst decisions they have made!!!

Darren Milburn, Geelong, has been charged with a Level Four engaging in rough conduct offence against Shane Edwards, Richmond, during the third quarter of the Round 18 match between Geelong and Richmond, played at Telstra Dome on Saturday August 2, 2008.

In summary, his previous good record means that his sanction can be reduced from four games to two games, with an early plea.

The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), high impact (three points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of seven activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Four offence, drawing 425 demerit points and a four-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 318.75 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 239.06 points and a two-match sanction.

Was hardly high contact.

 

[54Dogs]

Dangerous at best and it's only a matter of time until one of these causes a serious head or neck injury.

 

[Kahuna]

I just saw a power player do the exact same tackle and he got cleared, why don't they suspend the power hack that nobody has.

Agree, the AFL sent out a DVD showing it would not be tolerated but Milburn is the only one to get weeks so far. They need to be much stronger on this. If the head is protected standing up this is no different.

myers will more then likely not play again this year (injured his hammy at the end of last week)
and port seem serious about tanking!

Bingo. Saw it first hand and it wasn't pretty.

Had it seriously injured the Richmond bloke there'd be people calling for his head (no pun intended).

Some need to take their DreamTeam coloured glasses off (whatever colour that may be).
