Goodes kicking opponent - worthy of a fine?

[Macca81]

A lot of hoopla was made of Thomas not long ago. Here in Goodes final game he flops to the ground like the cheat he is, and then attempts to kick a north player in the knees/shins.

Not suprisingly, the commentators didnt even mention it or want another look at it.

Thoughts?

I hate Goodes but not much in that.

 

[hench]

Shouldn't play next week.

 

[sedders]

didnt the commentary team laugh this off calling it the double donkey punch or something?

 

[Cynic]

Sums it up

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Realistically, if Thomas gets a fine, so should Goodes. Thomas's was higher, Goodes had more force.

A fine would be fine, but I doubt it will happen. Outside of a little padding to the AFL coffers, it won't mean a lot

 

[billy fragos]

Definetly a fine, much worse than Thomas's

 

[TigerTime3]

If Goodes has a conscience, he'll never show his face on a football field again after doing that!

My thought is you should find another target. No mileage left in this one.

 

[The King!]

A gazillion weeks

 

[Dacksaredown]

Should be charged with murder and given the death penalty (once we reinstate it for people like Goodes).

 

[Mitchell Madness]

When he was chased down vs Geelong, he clearly stomped on his opponents hand
0-weeks and no mention in the media

 

[Scroater]

If a petulant child did the same to his/her mother, they'd get a smack on the arse, maybe two for good measure. No point suspending or fining. As Seadog said, "No mileage left in this one."

 

[sedders]

Getting off this sort of thing is exactly why he was booed, why don't his fans get this?

 

[FRUMPY]

was more malicious than Thomas the week before. Both deserve a fine. see what the MRP finds (reckon he gets off)

 

[FastLane]

MRP report just in-

Adam Goodes has been forced into retirement by the MRP over a kicking incident in the game against North Melbourne. The MRP found that due to the fact that the incident caused a furore on Big Footy forum, Goodes was given the choice of saying sorry or retiring.
He chose to retire.

I can see him sitting this week out.

 

[DanWA]

Just another lasting memory of a dirty player, don't bother with a fine or we'll have to listen to him piss and moan in the media even more about how hard done by he is.

 

[Bostonian]

I hate Goodes but not much in that.

Seems more by good fortune that he didn't catch the other player flush on with that force.

Like The Cheat he is ???? Oh ! The Irony !!! One cheat alone cannot maketh a Premiership but past History will tell you that a collective of 22 can and will.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Goodes can accept a fine apparently.

 

[Stopher]

Studs up. Two-footed. Reckless. Definite red.

The news was not quite as good for retired Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes, who was fined $1000 for kicking at North Melbourne defender Scott Thompson.

Goodes fell to the ground in the third quarter of the Swans' loss to the Roos after a minor scuffle with Thompson, and while on the ground kicked Thompson's legs.

He was charged with a first misconduct offence by the MRP, which draws a fixed $1500 penalty.

With no applicable bad record, Goodes can accept an early plea and reduce the fine to $1000.

The 372-gamer confirmed his retirement after Saturday night's defeat and a tumultuous year in the spotlight.

Goodes has not really spoken to the media in months. Of course you won't care about that fact as it goes against your world view.
