From what I understand Bakers own comments were one of the main reasons the tribunal jury reached its decision. Did our defence team instruct Bakes NOT to say he meant to block and was lookink to instigate contact..... that is what formed part of the charge.....he was reckless which led to the injur...

Full forward leads

FB trails but close behind

upfield ball deliver slips.......

FF props stops hoping to draw contact from behind......

FF hopes (instigate) contact for in the back......

BUT FF FINDS HIMSELF REORTED INSTEAD!!

I am involved on the board of a Junior Football League. (Volunteer) Officials from clubs can make a complaint against an opposition player / official and supporters. I will explain the process of an allegation against a player..........not seen by an umpire.....no report made on day. A statement rec...

No problems here

If he did.............and THERE IS EVIDENCE..............which survives

vigourous debate


We would also be screaming if it was one of ours

There must be some basis for the charge to be laid......

Surely

Now I have posted in the other one

Remember 'Whispers in the Sky'. Four independant witnessness all claiming to have heard the umpire's comments, all disregarded. Case close. Did not happen. Only result was that Maguire kept schtoom and baecame the first game show host to run a commercial network (still think Larry Emder needs to ge...

why are you linking the other to this

Rough conduct

Afl investigation

straight to Tribunal

no opportunity for plea or otherwise

Reading between the lines, means there is a slight possibility of both of them playing.

Understand that................

but my experience a quad 3-4 weeks if a reasonable strain

no mention of level of strain to thigh (quad)

given my experience when playing

rare if only one week.............not so sure........but fingers crossed

Max would appear to be the worst from observation on Sat..........

but the club docs etc are privy to info though and the ability to read it!!

Because it was obviously an accidental goal perhaps? That's how it appeared - unless Milney has perfected the reverse floater flat punt fader. I which case their may be a case to include it. In this instance was attempting the team thing and was kicking to the top of the square..... did not hit it ...

And FIGJAM launches the 'Filth response' by saying the following:- Rowe (Brions) contact was worse than 'Johnnos' so is amazed he didn't get the same or more Bakers incident is much worse - kinghit behind play and should get 3 times as much as 'Johnno'. NOt a 'if he did anything' about Baker - just...

Adelaide are the danger??

I posted this on BigFooty: There are: 1. No eyewitnesses except members of the general public. Those officials who can make admissable statements did not see the incident. 2. No conclusive video evidence. 3. No physical evidence of Baker's guilt - the only physical evidence is of Farmer being assau...

Wished they had played tonight and then pulled up very sore............

both out

Cant see how they can do anything, no footage apparent, no report laid, no players remonstrated which would suggest that no Freo players know what actually happened. The only person saying they saw it is a man who has an aggravated assault charge hanging over his head, if the AFL are willing to tak...

Good enough?

Was that because there was no gap between bakes fist and farmers nose??

No commercial vision from Ch. 10 at this stage....

Wll be an investigation by afl officer......

A big concern may be the wide down ground shot from the umpire
training dept.....

If it was one of ours what would we be saying.

would be interesting to see the results of EPO tests on WCE. although the AFL might let it slip for a few months to let it clear out of their system with their head in the sand syndrome. who was that ex hawk who said he did party drugs and no one tested him for years? and how is it cousins who admi...
