Is Bakes an automatic selection for a final after 9 weeks off?

bigcarl · Post: # 949390Post **bigcarl** » Tue 29 Jun 2010 1:59am

Ross likes guys with a bit of match fitness, so that may be it for bakes.

However, thugs like Barry Hall are still allowed to go around. s*** they even get to play grand finals after smacking guys behind play.

If this happens it is a true tragedy in the football sense.

Bakes could be behind only Lenny (even in front of Roo) in deserving a flag.

I fear the same as Ross showed with Max that sentiment doesn't come into consideration when it comes to selection.

I would bring him in for the grand final and instruct him to do it again but with one big king hit in Johnsons face this time. It is seen as a less aggressive act and we all want to follow the afl instructions.

They were hinting on Sen that if we challenge and fail and appeal and fail it will go further ie court action

just hope we dont cop it and move on

we better not cop it and move on.

This would not have happened to Collingwood, the outcry from Eddie would have the AFL bosses in hiding.

St Kilda must stand. They must be ablet o go in with a million other examples of similar incidents that were not reported at all.

There is an enormous difference between bankging a player in the hands of a trainer and one that is deemed fit enough to play. An inocuos tap to the hand is not worthy of reporting. If it is broken why was he playing?

AS for the tummy tap and fly swot on the chin .... if every player who does that gets 3 weeks, we better start expanding the team lists.

As I have posted on another thread I have this on very good authority it is GOING ALL THE WAY PEOPLE and I mean ALL THE WAY!!

There are elements very high up at the club regret they didn't take the 'Farmer Incident' further and they will NOT let this one slide through to the keeper. The club at the very highest level are very, very angry.

Actually I have no problem with SJ, but I would love to see him smash that smug look off Ablett the sooks face.

I'd wager they've already cut a deal with the AFL.

Contest 2 of the charges and get off on them. But only contest 2 - not all 4.

The AFL 'get their man' with Bakes still copping 5 - and we don't take the AFL to court and embarrass them.

eppo67 · Post: # 949837Post **eppo67** » Tue 29 Jun 2010 4:56pm

Thats is exactly what is happening Rogerfox but my mail is the Club is going a bit harder than 5 weeks. It will be 2 to 3.

+1

This would be considered a win/win for everyone in the eyes of the AFL. Bakes still cops 5, St Kilda has the sentence almost halved thus allowing Bakes to play prior to the finals and the AFL walk away with looking like they took a strong stance on 'taggers' so therefore appeasing family groups and the greater public as a whole.

It's all about the politics.

Yup... any illusion of impartiality and independence was well and truly dispelled when Hall got off.

AD makes the call, and they reverse engineer the justification.

Why would he ??

Bakes never went any where near "cracking" anyone Fri night.

Just a bit of slap and giggle.............and that was sufficient to put "Stevie J " off his game abit.......

Well done Bakes I say.....

I hope and doubt Bakes would stoop to KO ing someone in the name of "stopping" them.

I'd like to see him come back and comprehensively (spelling ?) beat Steve Johnson, which I am confident he can...

People forget the good things he does, like sliding across the ground to prevent a goal on Friday night...again
