As stated previously the Centrals players reaction was very disappointing. Imagine that happening when the Gowans boys were playing Grocke would have joined Simes in hospital. Watch your back when you play Centrals again Grocke.
The next time this player is found guilty of something similar his career should be terminated. Would be no loss to football.

7 weeks, can't argue with that. Big loss to the Eagles given his role as a 2nd ruckman as well as forward this season.

After it became obvious Andrew Ainger was likely to be stretchered off and the play came to a halt, at the umpires call, the two respective sides gathered in their seperate huddles, as is usually the case...
Coming out of the goal square at the southern end, Michael Wundke (of course a former South team mate of Ainger and a close friend) did try and sound Collier out for a little bit of a bump and niggle...

Grocke will certainly have to be careful once he gets back on the field now though. Having been reported 7 times in the past 5 seasons, his record is probably the worst in the SANFL. Will need to change his ways to avoid being the first player scrubbed out through suspensions. Hard to believe, and very lucky for Adam, that he apparently was not reported at all in his first seven seasons. His actions are certainly being noticed now.

Michael led the charge against Andrew whilst at South after the Kirk incident. It was because of this that Andrew wanted out.They may be team mates but I don't think Andrew holds Michael in any positive regard.

Yes, that makes sense, compare another sport's judiciary to the SANFL tribunal.

Well when the power lose they normally have plenty to talk about but since the crows have been nothing short of a disgrace to SA football they have needed something elsr to crap on about.
