Blind Freddie reckons we need the Filth to knock off the Crows on Friday, and for us to kill the Tiges. So the question arises, if Rocca is pinged will that help? I reckon he will get off. Having looked at the incident several times it looks as though he pulled his hand back immediately after contact as though to indicate he did not mean to strike.
In my opinion his absence from their line-up will add strength to their attack so here's hoping he plays.

Well cheer AGAINST Adelaide if that helps and not for the filth.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
This is the kind of attitude that St.Kilda supporters are known for.
Embracing mediocrity.
My most hated team is Adelaide, so i would gladly barrack for Collingwood on friday night, but if it were the other way around and we needed the Crows to win, i wouldnt blink.
Who cares who it is, if its good for us, why not go for it?

Ive said it before and ill say it again
Sydney are a bunch of koalas in that they are a protected species!!!
As for Rocca getting off i am very suprised, coz he did hit an afl lovechild (also sydney player) in A.Goodes, im suprised that didnt come with an automatic 2 weeks on top of the actual incident
If i remember correctly J.Cloke missed a GF because of a very similar incident, when he smashed T.Edwards face

He may have got a 25% clean record discount + 25% early plea discount remember....
Yep, 2 weeks discounted by 50% to 1 week.
The hit from Buchannan was High contact, and hard enough impact for Clark to be assisted from the ground (like Farmer).
How hard was the hit by Baker?
Oh, that's right - no-one saw Baker hit Farmer!
I've got no issue with the loading on Baker's penalty. It's the fact he was found guilty with no video proof or evidence that he actually did anything other than stnd in front of Farmer, and was given 4 weeks.

Yeah, as long as he doesn't do it the week after against us.
"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."
