[Dogwatcher]

So can we get rid of "Trial By Video" now?

Yep, that band was rubbish!

How many times has Josh Carr got off due to it not being caught on camera? seems a bit harsh for mine...

[Punk Rooster]

He got what he deserved.
At least Ben Johnson was within 50m of the ball...

When someone at work told me there was a controversy involving a farmer and a baker I thought something had happened in a small country town (true story).

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

the dirty little sniper deserves all he gets. nothing but a man player whose first objective is never the ball.

The sentence stands- 7 weeks

Bakers failed in his appeal

But the Saints still do not get it

even though the tribunal accepted Baker's version of events, which was supported by other witnesses, it does not mean that he is inicent of the charge

Baker set him self up to fail once he admitted to intentionally committed an illegal act by blocking Farmer off the ball.

The St Kilda football club do not have an understanding of the basic rules and laws of the game

Baker could of said he was watching the flight of the ball, running and all of a sudden he felt Farmer crash into the back of him, or he felt contact to the back of his head and didn't know who it was until he looked around and saw Farmer, or even that he was merely standing there and Farmer ran into the back of him,"

and the tribunal would of han no evidence to contradict him.

however the club admitted to the tribunal that Baker intentionally committed an illegal act by blocking Farmer off the ball.

To this their can only be one answer, that is, the St Kilda football club does not have an understanding of the blocking rules. You can't admit to an illegal activity as in blocking and then when someone gets injured, expect to get away with it.
