Steven Baker found guilty

[Gasometer]

I thought the appeals system was introduced to stop Supreme Court actions...wasn't that the key issue in the past, that the SC said that due process had not been achieved because of a lack of appeal system???

gaso

 

[saintsownthedome]

mate over the years Baker has gotten away with a fair bit,


he was suspended for two weeks for 'attempting to strike' when he and greg stafford were throwing jumper punches at each other.

attempting to strike. two weeks. seriously.

 

[Rootheday]

We heard you the first time.

Well you all talk so slowly down there in sleepy hollow

Perth?

 

[Gasometer]

Sleepy hollow=Geelong.

gaso

 

[YOTC]

Sleepy hollow=Geelong.

gaso

I know that!

I was just wondering why he was calling Perth "sleepy hollow"

 

[peppy la pew]

I would like to see some footage if and when it is released.

Easy fixed, just look in the mirror and give yourself a dozen uppercuts.

Everyone is happy

The tribunal have stated that they believe Baker's version of the events whereby he blocked Farmer off the ball trying to keep goal side of him

So Farmer runs into Baker they hit heads and Farmer breaks his nose and Baker gets 7 weeks

Yet if I am driving my car and I break without warning which I have every right to do and someone rear ends me - it is my fault

There is no doubt whatsoever that Baker has been absolutely rear ended!!!!!!

Absolutely disgraceful decision

The AFL is a complete and utter joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Intentional, High contact, High or maybe severe impact if his nose or jaw is broken... that 425 points or straight to the tribunal without any past points/loading.

Enjoy your holiday.

425*1.4+127.5 = 722.5

Gee I'm good. Actually picked the tribunal for once... worrying.

 

[Rootheday]

Perth?

No.. they've won a flag in the last 44 years

 

[scottywiper]

Its still not hard to work out.Baker runs to Farmer hits him/bumps whatever,farmer down and help off ground with nose damage and cut to lip and no-one else within metres.

It may not be hard to guess what happened, but I would have thought you needed to prove it.
Lawyers could drive holes through it and probably will.

 

[YOTC]

No.. they've won a flag in the last 44 years

Perth?

The demons suck. Surely they haven't!

Roo you are on fire tonight.

gaso

 

[JeffDunne]

Baker runs to Farmer hits him/bumps whatever,. . .

"whatever"?

LOL, it's lame people like you that's turning this game into a farce.

Purple Rabble.

 

[jonesy86]

given Farmer had a broken nose, concussion and laserations (sp?) to his face...3-4 weeks seems acceptable, it is the 40% loading and 150+ points carried over from earlier in the season that got it up to 7 weeks

suck it up saints

Mate the bloke could well be the biggest germ in the AFL. Just cop it sweet.

Yeah terrible decision.

Such a good honest hard working player. Should have got off on reputation alone, let alone have these idiots fall for inuendo and speculation.








Should have got life - gutless coward.

Perth?

Perth won in 1976 and 1977
Lost to East Perth in 1978

 

[kidstyler]

saints tears power half of victoria

true story!

 

[freocuz]

Lucky the tribunal accepted Baker's version of events. Imagine the uproar if our official had have been believed.

What is there to appeal? Baker's evidence?

The verdict can't change, only the penalty.

Must be a typo.

mate u would shit ur self if u saw Baker on the street

 

[High Ryder]

If i were a saints fan i would be fuming. It will be interesting to see how this one pans out in the next couple of days.

 

[Bluebear]

mate u would shit ur self if u saw Baker on that street

Thats the problem though mate, if he came straight at me I'd at least have a chance - this little prick would come at you from the side or from behind.

He is a low dog who has finally got what he deserves.

4 weeks, plus 3 - tells you all you need to know.

Cop it sweet.

 

[freocuz]

mate u would shit ur self if u saw Baker on the street

Why is that, Kosi? Is he a thug and likely to king-hit him?
