View Full Version : Will Goodes go this time?
Or will he get let off again?
Or will he get let off again?
There was nothing in it.
Could go either way. Will he have past points added onto it?

It'll be an interesting one.
His only intention was to hit Selwood though.
If he gets off then Brett Burton should be free to play next week.

It was a bit worse than the Murphy incident. But not by much. So he'll get weeks. If he doesn't it will cause an uproar.
He will get off regardless, I haven't seen the incident.
Collected with Selwood's head. Wasn't going for the ball.
He'll cop a 2-3 weeks anything else and the AFL are sending the message that he can do as he likes.

If a player who has played 202 games in a row misses a week because of that, I'll have trouble following this game. Would be very, very hard to take it seriously.
Too bad, CharlieG. You mustn't have heard the AFL edict that the game's gone soft.

So just because he's played '202' games in a row it means he can go round belting blokes?
tool..

Who cares. He deserves to be rubbed out after being let off so many times previously.

He didn't 'belt' anyone. At worst, he bumped into him.
But I know you Saints fans are prone to holding a grudge, so I'll make allowances.

You're not going to get an argument from me. Goodes is the most protected of protected species in the AFL. But the suspension of Burgoyne, McGlynn, Burton, etc, etc can't be argued against. If Goodes gets off I think other clubs should look at legal action.
Just saw it. If the AFL are fair dinkum about protecting players putting their heads over the ball then he must go - protected species or not.
Deserves to go. Would be pissed off if he didnt if i was burton and murphy.
Goodes had no intention of going for the ball.
He had plenty of time to avoid it.It looked as though he might've lined Selwood up.

7 Jun 2008, 21:14
YES. I would have thought 50/50 before the last couple of weeks but after the soft suspensions lately he will go.
I'd be more worried about the quality of disposal and basic skill errors that has significantly assisted WC to lead by as much as they are.

He should be fine.
I haven't seen it but is it worse than R Murphy's from last week?
Loyal2Port
7 Jun 2008, 21:25
he will get 3 votes and a gift hamper. this man is untouchable, the eagles player may get weeks for making negligent contact with his hip :)
Typical. Gets the hit done without being too obvious. John Terry like he is. Very snide.
Has a real mean streak doesn't he. Just loses the plot and his brain explosions are becoming more and more common.
Going on recent history he should get a game or two.
But it is Goodes and he has immunity every time he plays.
I haven't seen it but is it worse than R Murphy's from last week?
Well since Murphy's was IMO a legit old fashioned shirt front, then yes!
Selwood over the ball, clear contact to the head by Goodes hip who it didn't look like was going at the ball....

no, but he has in the past and got away with it..
he is a protected species and if you think not, take your rose coloured glasses off.
lined him up, had no intention of going for the ball, his only intention was to lay his hip into selwoods head
will get off
Armitage2Riewoldt
7 Jun 2008, 22:42
Anyone 5 years ago wouldn't have got anything.
Anyone else now 1-3 weeks.
Goodes, gets off.
According to the rules... Adam Goodes was headbutted... West Coast you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Goodes will get off, and West Coast will be made to apologise to him.
Its an absolute joke what Goodes continually gets away with, he'll get off.
just a line monkey
7 Jun 2008, 22:48
Soft contact, but intentional. Will get 2 plead guilty and recieve 1
goodes will get off because he is Goodsie two shoes and the AFL love the aboriginal blokes in Sydney as they promote the game as indigenous in Northern states.Goodes she become a Muslim then he really could attract all the attention and praise.

Absolute dog act, needs to go for 4 weeks at least. :mad:
Just kidding. 1-2 weeks...the simple fact is that head-high contact has been consistently suspendable all season, regardless of whether it was intentional/accidental or in play/off the ball.
If he doesn't get suspended....:eek: :eek: :eek:

Just what I thought. It's a soft report, but it's come up at a bad time. If he gets weeks it's purely based on the tribunal's angry mid-season mood.
If he does get off though, it won't be soft. It'll be a dog act, and Goodes was being a dirty sniper, and he is a protected species, and he shouldn't be allowed to play the game, and he is the biggest drain on society there has ever been.

The Legal Argument will be:
Goodes could have reasonably expected Selwood to not fumble the ball.
Selwood fumbled and Goodes bumped him in the head because of the fumble.
...Clear enough for you now?
0 Weeks.

I agree that Goodes should have been rubbed out on previous occasions but got lucky.
This time though, if judged properly, he should get off or get 1 week at the most.

I can't decide whether or not it was accidental, but i thought he stepped sideways, so I'm not too sure about accidental..
If he does get rubbed out, hopefully the angry pills will be taken in moderation.

I have taken notice that Goodes has been doing that sort of thing at least once per match, when the opposition player has his head over the the ball he has been careless and going in hard for the head-high bump but has usually missed the target...

He HAS to.

Of course, the rules have never applied before to the AFL's indigenous pinup boy, so I see no reason why they should this time.

Brayshaw banked the 10 million yet he was saving ya with? or just like the past 10 years and stealing money from the AFL because you have crap all support?
FWIW on Goodes the slow mo looks worse than the normal shot, seeing the AFL protect the head he will probably go but doesn't look that bad to me, the end result was a nothing.
BUT could have been worse injury wise, so I will say 1-2 weeks.
eddiesmith
8 Jun 2008, 00:20
Any other player- 4 weeks as he should have points carry over from last year when they made sure he wouldnt miss a week
But being Goodes they will claim contact was to the back and not reportable

He's definately gone. He has 70 carry over points, so the only way he can get off is if the match review panel throw the charge out and that ain't gonna happen. Shame to see his 202 consecutive games finish.

Yep was a side-on hit with his carry points will probably get 2 weeks.
I think he was unlucky, one of his eyebrow hairs just obscured his vision.
It is not easy having a forest on your lower forehead !
Didn't really make much contact but it was head high and intentional and with the carry over points he should get 1-2, much like Mooney, silly thing to do and with points already they both will be gone.

8 Jun 2008, 00:32
He's running parallel with Selwood and more than an arm's length away at the point where Selwood bends over to collect the ball. At this point Goodes clearly should be aware of his duty of care to ensure there is no head high contact.
He almost doesn't even seem to be looking at Selwood, more where he's expecting the ball to be instead.
At worst it's deliberate, at best it's careless. I don't know if he'll go or not, but is it going to take someone becoming a quadraplegic live on national television before players are instantly rubbed out for going anywhere near someone's head in this sort of manner?
I hope he goes just to shut all the girly whingers out there. He could do with a couple of weeks to freshen up.
He deserves a break after winning that game for us:thumbsu: Spectacular player. Ran his guts out tonight.

I wouldn't go that far. He will get suspended, but he came in from the side and the contact wasn't as forceful as Water's last week. It was like he was just running past; but I think he lined him up.
