Why would he do that. 2 weeks if he is lucky

Looked like a very dirty hit. Nasty elbow.

McEvoy will be delighted to have some more game time though.

Nothing in it. A lot worse has been let go at the tribunal this year. At worst, a reprimand as there was little or no impact and no injury to the player.

I was more interested in the hit Nick received in the 2nd quarter down near the goal square.

Aussie Bears · Sat 30 May 2009 10:01pm

Im not so sure. I think he is in some trouble.

didnt see it, when did it happen.

The knock to the back of Nicks head will be interesting, was no replay so couldnt tell if there was any force, might of been a glancing hit, but definate contact to the head.

Showed it a few times during half tme of dockers game. Elbow to side of head. Not great.

Old man seemed to think there was nothing in it.....

It looked pretty nasty.

rhys stanley time?

ALSO

not a good stat..HO's us 22 them 44

not good considering north melbourne play Hale, Petrie, McIntosh and Goldstein...and we may be without Gards!

doggerel · Post: # 748658Post **doggerel** » Sat 30 May 2009 11:29pm

Intentional.......tick
Head high........tick
Impact............low

What does that give us?

He'll get weeks. I bet McEvoy will be happy though.

thirty-seven!? · Sat 30 May 2009 11:34pm

You would expect him to get at least one! I would put my money on two!

A VERY silly thing to do!

SENsei · Post: # 748685Post **SENsei** » Sat 30 May 2009 11:41pm

Three weeks will be my tip.

saintly_safes · Sat 30 May 2009 11:45pm

2 weeks with an early guilty plea

Bernard Shakey · Sat 30 May 2009 11:46pm

Forearm to the head, behind play. Two weeks at least.
Is he carrying any points?

esaint66 · Post: # 748693Post **esaint66** » Sat 30 May 2009 11:49pm

Two weeks.

McEvoy - In
Stanley - Emergency

Well really, how could you judge what it is going to be? Bakes went out for a couple of weeks a couple of years ago for ATTEMPTING to strike? What box does that tick? High impact? Intentional? The AFL tribunal has no idea. Complete joke. Almost as bad as the umpiring for all of the games so far this weekend. What happened to free kicks for in the back, holding the ball, etc? They have thrown the rule book away it seems......

Gards could probably do with a bit of a break

He has been awesome all year and deserves to put his feet up and give his body a rest

When he comes back he will be fresh and ready to go

An enforced lay off now might be a blessing later on down the track

If he gets 2 that means he won't play till 28 June.

In Gards defence he could say he was trying to push him away from the contest (because it was more of a pushing action), and because he is so tall he misjudged it and got him in the head

doppler effect · Sun 31 May 2009 12:02am

Very poor form.

My guess is he'll get 2 weeks, which is a pity because he'd be handy against the likes of McIntosh, Hale and Petrie. Should be back to take on that mut Simmonds though.

clarky449 · Post: # 748729Post **clarky449** » Sun 31 May 2009 12:03am

I reckon 2 weeks

It will be like a new season for him and how well did he start this season

Gards was just protecting himself

Enrico_Misso · Sun 31 May 2009 12:07am

Could be a blessing in disguise.

Big Mac gets a few games and a fresh Gardi comes in for the run up to September.

Yeah, it might do Gardy some good, you never know
