is it homework?......can u tell us when it is then please?

according to what i just heard on sky news.
but u can never tell when the news tells the facts...so.??

so now we have to wait another 27 odd hours.......and i have very little patience

just heard on sky news australia that the appeal will be heard at 5.30 tomorrow

like i said......point out where I said it. and tell me whats wrong with running into someones path? hey i got respect for ya coming on here and debating the incident jesus....but seriously what is wrong with running into the path of another player? nothing, thats what. i wonder if farmer didnt reca...

point out where i said baker was RUNNING in front of farmer.....
then i'll apologise purple.

just heard worsfold say that they would play a team that was fully fit instead of playing players that were under an injury cloud....especially this close to finals.

sky news.

Read the articles about it, Baker wasn't running in front of Farmer, he was next to him and jumped into Farmer's path.

so?
what sport are we playing again?

i dont know jesus, but if i do run into u its my fault isnt it....... a player can run where he likes and stop where he likes..... so lets say that baker does exactly the same thing yet he is knocked over, and has to come from the ground?...... who is at fault?. is it in the back, or a suspension? b...

Bumping/striking someone when they can't see it coming is no excuse IMO, if anything that just makes it worse, like hitting someone from behind. errr that would be the same thing...... if u cant see it coming then u cant see it coming. if u get hit from behind u cant see it coming. not like seeing ...

From The Age: "Baker said he had initially been about five metres ahead of Farmer but when the Docker forward got within about a metre of him he checked his stride and jumped into Farmer's path." so......show us the ruling that this is an illegal act. its a contact sport...and jumping int...

mind u this was before the decision was handed down....
but yeah, he seemed to 'say' the 'correct' things.

i can see this being the biggest thing in the afl tribunal ever......
i hope the club doesnt just lay down, reach back and spread em.

and if i was the coach i would be letting rip, screw the fines.......its not like u couldnt afford a fine handed out by the afl with the salary coaches get nowdays.

the title of this thread wouldnt have been posted by a true supporter.
can we beat them???
geeeeez.

just saw this on our website......... ST KILDA coach Ross Lyon has backed the AFL’s process for investigating off-field incidents ahead of Steven Baker’s Tuesday night tribunal hearing. Baker will defend a charge of engaging in rough conduct against Fremantle’s Jeff Farmer. A Fremantle trainer...

farmer gets 6 weeks for eye gouging pratt
baker gets 7 weeks for rough conduct on farmer.

yeah....that makes sense.

so if the club appeals whats the most likely outcome that could occur in our favour?
they aint going to over turn a seven week ban, would they drop it down to 3 or 4?......very VERY unlikely?.
it wouldnt surprise me if they upped the ban to 9 weeks.

i actually thought nothing would come of it....i mean there was no vid evidence and taking eye witness accounts is rather stupid...i mean we could have just got half a dozen people to say anything about the incident....but how reliable is that, it just ends up being opinions and taking peoples words...

i wonder if bakes hit the deck too, holding his head and had a trainer run out to check on him what the decision would have been........
prob 5 weeks lol

there's no way the eagles will leave all 3 of them out........surely not, surely one of them will play at least.

this is the biggest load of bulls*** i have ever seen by a tribunal. b grade/reserve footy in the country sees stuff like this every 5 mins, and much worse. how the hell does johnson get 6 and bakes get 7.......? i woke up this morning and i caught the "saint kildas steven baker gets 7 weeks&qu...

replies like that just make u look like u no nothing about anything.

looks like your programming is kicking in.
i comment on stuff i know about.....maybe u should stick to the same?

He did say that Farmer was "king-hit" and that if it was the case,

if thats what he said then it doesnt make sense.

Farmer WAS king hit.......IF that is the case.....

was and if????

i think we CAN win the flag.
i also think the cats are quite beatable.

I'd rather use the 3rd round pick on another Montagna than some 28-year old hack.

have to agree with that 100%

classic joffa.......pure classic
