Lade owes the tribunal process. He should testify that there was nothing in it at all - as Jimmy Hird did for him.

1. Lade was going into a ruck contest Rocca wasn't.

2. I don't care and I don't think the tribunal will either that it grazed his shoulder. Going in with your elbow first at right angles to your body is illegal and he should get a week for that alone.

Rocca will get off.
Collingwood will rightly say that if Brodie Holland's cowardly king hit 50 metres off the ball is only worth 2 weeks then an elbow to the head when the ball is in the vicinity of the contact is perfectly acceptable and the umpire should apologise for the hardship he caused Anthony.

Ditto.
If fat Eddy Could can organise a 2 week sentence for what Holland did then Rocca will get off no probs.
The tribunal lost all its credibility with that one.

"I think Lade has been fairly promising to him about what he thought happened," Gotch said. "He (Lade) said he faked for the free kick more than anything and if you look at it, he goes down like he has been shot . . . if he (Rocca) had hit him there with an elbow, it would have nearly knocked him out.

But not this time chins, Rocca is gaaaawn. Good to see traitors get what they deserve. Bad weekend for swans and ex-swans.

Agree!!
He should go like his offsider did last year.

Heard the umpire yell 'I'm reporting you'.. and now Ch.10 show a replay of Rocca striking Carr?? with a forearm.

Could be in a bit of trouble but not that much in it - apparently Holland is in strife too.

Will be an interesting week should Collingwood win.

so every station is showing it and they dont seem to give a S**t

Just saw it on the news for hte first time.
If he doesnt go my faith in the AFL will forever be lost.
Time for the big guys to take a stand against Eddie.

Yep caught red handed he's guilty for sure!

When does he go to Dermies old house?

Anferney Rocca is a thug and an idiot.

In '96 the decision was appealed because Dunkley was cited late and hence the Swans were not given time to mount a proper case.

Yet they had time to mount not one but two supreme court cases. Interesting.
