UPDATE: Daniel Kerr accepts 3 match ban, but is eligible to play in the Dream Team game. How is that possible?
ANOTHER UPDATE: Chad Cornes listened… but he copped a week! Doesn’t matter for DT though! Nice…
Eagle Daniel Kerr can take 3 matches if he pleads guilty… or risk 5 by fighting his charge! Be smart there Daniel… you are no chance to get less weeks than that! Josh Carr can take 3 weeks, even though his charge was only worth two weeks - his bad record has hurt him there. All other blokes can play next week with early pleas as outlined in this article.
But I think Chad Cornes should fight his report. Here’s why: if he pleads guilty, he gets 93.75 points towards his next tribunal hearing if reported again, and Chad being Chad… will probably get reported sometime. But with his finger injury, he will miss at least one week anyway, so it would be worth the risk in my opinion to fight the charge… either get off, or get a week, it’s not going to matter - apart from Brownlow of course… I’m being DT selfish here, I don’t want Chad suspended for a soft report in the future… especially if it’s close to finals time!
Good insight Warnie. How does Kerr get 3 to 5 weeks for a flying head butt when Barry got 7 weeks for a punch. Head butt is way worse.
warnie u might not be settin the world on fire this year but ur switched on about this one haha. i hope chad takes a week. be good haha
warnie I agree, no dt points for brownlow
haha.. i have advice to offer… just can’t do it myself, i guess that is why i am a teacher! haha.. seriously, for DT, that would be the best thing for Chad to do!!
Yeah, I’ve been on the other end of a nasty headbutt before, I would nearly prefer to be punched.
Josh Carr probably deserves the three just cause it was a real cheap shot.
Kerr was a dick and desreves his punishment (I’m an Eagles supporter too) but there is no way what he did was worse than Barry Hall. It wasn’t really a ‘flying’ headbut. It was only deemed low impact.
how could Kerr fight it, he clearly head butted west! (ps. can we get a post about trading our cash cows)
Any news on Cox yet?
cox wil probably miss this week
Sammy, I read somewhere that they are condfident for him to get up this week. Can’t remember where though… probably BigFooty. Or as I like to call it LetsMakeUpBigRumoursAboutFooty.
Found it… http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsid=58675
“[Dean] Cox looks OK, he’ll be fine at this stage.”
Damn.. how’s this trade (Cox and Rutten) for (Sandilands and P.Burgoyne) looks good to me!!
ok cheers Braydog
*cough*
“[Dean] Cox looks OK, he’ll be fine at this stage.”
Haha. No worries, mate. Thats why the boys should let me do a SuperCoach blog. *wink*
lol. I refreshed it, saw Collingwo8ds comment, and then wrote my other comment, sent, and then realise you had already answered my question! looks rather queer!!
anyone know much about armitage from saints, worthwhile pickin up this week or let it go thru 2 the keeper?
I guess it depends on your situation with Armitage. Personally I’m not picking him up because my other bench players are still going up in value, Armitage is priced at $130k or so ($50k higher than other rookies) and I’m looking after my trades. There will be more opportunities to pick up rookies during the year like Cotchin from Richmond etc, and I have a rule that I only trade if I make $100k+ or I’m upgrading to a gun.
19 players on the field! Jolly should be suspended! Imagine if you lost your league game by 1 point because your mates team had Jolly who got a handball instead of being on the bench!
Or imagine if you were a North supporter. They deserve the win.
Who cares, shitty umpire decisions change game outcomes all the time, this isn’t much different. If the Kangaroos were on the ball they would have called for the head check and would have won. They didn’t, their loss.
Just a thought too, if Sydney did have their score wiped would it effect DT scores (players having goals removed etc)?
jus a quick one coz no one seems to answer…anyone know when David Myers might play??
someone make a post about trades to do with the
BACKLINE DEPRESSION!!
i umpire in sydney city region and count head checks all the time but has it ver happened in porfessional footy?
dream team backs are rubbish these dayss..
wheres the cheap high scoring lads gone???????
