MRP / Trib. Tom Stewart bump on Prestia - 4 weeks to freshen up

[StonedCat]

Just imagine the Richmond melts if they lose the next 4 games and blame Tom still

 

[AM]

Me too...but all used up now..a stupid and damaging action.

Love Stewie but he ducked up here..

Heat of the moment foolish act that he will carry for the rest of his playing days. But he's still well on the positive side of the ledger in my book.

So what’s the reaction over in Tigerland?

In not sure what it is but we should make it worse by claiming Cameron is better than Dusty

Edit: not sure why I wrote buddy

Geelong has created ‘havoc’ after boldly ‘reversing’ a trend. This star is now AFL’s ‘hardest match-up’

From what I'm reading they're just in a perpetual state of seethe since Saturday arvo. It's just one big conjoined mass of woe is us and tinfoil tales.

Reasonable chance Port’s finals hopes are over by the time we play them - they have Freo and Demons away in the next three weeks.

I'm not sure Port can work out "mathematically possible" when it comes to finals, they may still believe they have hope.

Look forward to the outrage when another bad bump happens in the next 4 weeks and the AFL gives the player 2 weeks. Meanwhile, we ****ed ourselves pre-tribunal by having Scott and others comment on things before the tribunal hearing.

 

[Cataholic]

We'll you can't be that unhinged naturally.

It's truly got them apoplectic.

I think half of them want consecutive drubbing so they can jettison Hinkley

In fact they probably do that in time for us to cop a new coach bounce

 

[you pick one]

What has been overlooked was the kick - very, very ugly shank that went through with one helluva wobble

He said himself latter on his legs were gone.

 

[AM]

Stewart Suspended

Truthfully could not ****ing believe what he said in that press conference, ****ed over any chance of a defense.

Whilst it's not season ending like his foot injury, too miss massif games v Melbourne, Carlton and PA (A) will make it tough for t4 possibly.

I wish he had been suspended last year, would not have the foot injury and the finals could have looked very different. Its no lock that his absence may cost us a match in the next month, but even if it does I'd take that every time over what happened last year.

 

[Play it Sam]

One thing is for sure, he won't sit around moping. The limited contact I've had proved him to be a man of character, who will put his all into everything.
In other words- Tom is a very focused individual, he will ensure he bursts back better than ever.
Bank on it.

They have a pretty soft draw.

Tribunal got this one right. Severe consequence for a severe bump. More time off would be too much, less too little.
Now backline- sort yourselves- grab the opportunity.

 

[BIGANT]

The decision is disgraceful, a collusion......something about meth and so on.

An enlightening demonstration of emotional maturity.

Sounds similar to reading Port Adelaide's boards.

 

[Romeoh1]

Goes to show again the difference it makes when you play another team. Go back a week or so ago and it looked like we might be getting the Dees at the perfect moment - with them out of form, with no Gawn in their side, and with Danger having made a successful return from injury for us against the Tigers. Instead, it will be Danger's first game back if he even does play, the Dees look back to their absolute best, and suddenly we'll be without our best player.

Still- I was at a final where we were missing our three best mids in the 90’s. And we won that game.
Although, apparently, prestia going out of the game did rob richmond of a 10 goal win.

 

[Grimoz]

Blicavs full time backman for the next 4 weeks?

 

[SkiddyMcGhee]

They have the softest draw.

Thank you

 

[BIGANT]

I'm not sure Port can work out "mathematically possible" when it comes to finals, they may still believe they have hope.

A couple of the football commentary over here on Adelaide radio said possibly only two of the 8 games they can lose. They're 1 game outside the 8 now.

 

[Romeoh1]

Thank you

Lol- you are welcome-next 4 games -WC at the g, suns away, north at marvel, dockers at marvel- likely 4/4?

 

[cat_fanatic]

I'm okay with four based on Stewart's admission of guilt.

Just because he feels guilty doesn't mean he is though.

Knowing that the time between Prestia tapping the ball and Toms impact is .39 seconds makes me feel like this is way too harsh.

The reality is Prestia runs off the ground and has no broken bones, while Stewart's contact is so close to the ball (.39s) that it's in play.

It's carless contact, high impact and high contact, mainly as a result of Prestias actions, not Toms.

Two weeks would be sufficient in an AFL world that isn't envious, bitter and otherwise consumed by Geelong's period of breaking the equalisation system.

I just can’t believe that Brad Scott jumped from the crowd in the dying minutes and shepherded Vlastuin allowing Henry to take the match winning mark.

TaLk AbOuT NePoTiSm At ThE AfL!!!

A very good response from Tom Stewart when asked questions by the media. that was class by him
