Stafford suspension

Postby Mr66 » Mon Jul 31, 2006 8:23 pm

Richmond's Greg Stafford will offered two weeks for his shirtfront on
St.Kilda's Brendon Goddard at the weekend.
I'm a Saints fan and I though it was a legit bump, at worst a free kick for INCIDENTAL
high contact.
Death to the AFL tribunal.
If one person does it, it's insanity. If millions do it, it's religion.

I don't think this view of the three stoo... err.., tribunal I mean, is limited to SAians.

And don't get me started on Andrew Raines going for tripping.
He grabbed Blake's leg, not an ankle tap.
This rule was brought in for players who used their legs to trip their
opponent, which did cause serious injuries and should be reportable,
not this soft-cock crap dished out by the three blind mice.
Torture, THEN death, to the AFL tribunal.

What frustrates me is when the commentators don't watch the replay properly and say a different perspective. They were saying that Stafford lined him up etc.

From MY eyes, Stafford was going in for the ball, as can be seen by his arms being down in a "scoop" pick up sort of why - and then in the last SPLIT second when he realised that he'd arrive second, braced.

It was a free kick for something that wasn't his fault as such - but that's all.

Now Stafford & Raines have been cleared and Baker has had
his suspension doubled!
