Goddard's Elbow on Johnson ?

Didnt look great on the replay & obviously they will have a good look at it at the match review.

Just hoping it was in the neck rather than the jaw/chin area .

Reprimand hopefully. Nothing in it, but reckless and high.

did I watch the same one because the one I looked at he hit him on the chest near his neck and thats where brad signalled to the umpire

Bernard Shakey · Sat 01 May 2010 1:12am

Nowhere near the head and not forceful enough to warrant a look.

not much in it , looked like Johnno tried to milk it for a free. saying that ,the way the afl always screw us over at the tribunal , BJ will probably get 2 weeks!

I'd be more interested in Barry's hand in (I think) Baker's face. Bit of eye massage?

Johnno as per usual does his swan dive for the free kick, if anyone's reported its him for staging....

Reprimand to one. High contact, reckless, low impact.

Yeah, I wondered what Hall was doing with his hands so close to out player's eyes... both Baker and Fisher in that little bit of a melee.

At first look it wasnt great but on the replay hit him high on the chest nothing else! Shouldnt be anything to worry about.

Johnson could possibly get two for staging.

Armoooo · Post: # 915730Post **Armoooo** » Sat 01 May 2010 1:48am

Yeah no chance of getting weeks.

A forearm to the chest, Johnno was milking it, doubt it will even be looked into.

Nowhere near the head and not forceful enough to warrant a head wobble...

Across the collar bone, Johnson was faking higher contact trying to draw a free kick.

As for what the tribunal says, spin the wheel.

Was Johnson playing?

Seconded.....

I'm gonna say it, has to be close to one of the most overated/worst 300 game players ever.....

Maybe I'm way off, but I've never seen him do ANYTHING that i've got stored in the memory bank, like I do with all the other 300 gamers and/or legends of the game, that reminds me of how great a player he was.

The fact is, I've never seen him as a great player, only a durable one.

He's the only player in the history of the game whose 300th game was honoured by the creation of a new (alas, now little-used) forum on Saintsational!!

Back on topic, if I were Goddard, I would argue that raising my arm was a reflex action. Johnson lunged straight towards him at considerable pace, apparently looking for some sort of contact.

I'd be surprised if anything came of it.

Hit him upper chest and his forearm slid up to under his neck. No biggee.

saintspremiers · Sat 01 May 2010 9:21am

It's irrelevent where on the body BJ hit him, it's how the person landed on the ground and if he hurt his head on landing.

That would be two free kicks in succession, I assume.

Incorrect.

Johnson was a superstar in his prime.

Actually, Johnson should be cited for poor acting.

Agreed.
She doesn't even have boobs like Cate Blanchett.

I want to know what Johnson did to Raph that caused him to have to leave the field.
