Retired #9: Brendon Goddard - Retires a winner - Thanks for everything BJ

[Lance Uppercut]

Read the words in order now

*looks at posts for about 5 minutes*

ah oh right, sorry Maddog39

 

[DonsRule]

did you read the article?

“In their opinions we were going to really struggle to get the charge either thrown out or have it down graded.”

“The professional view that we got back from those advocates is that we were likely to lose if we went to the tribunal.”

Yep, as soon as I saw the reverse angle, I could see it being hard to get him off it. Weak, not worth a 2 week suspention, but neigh on impossible to argue that ruling.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

If he'd punched him in the solar plexus with the same grading, he'd be free to play this week.

 

[westking]

Hard decision but a correct one in my opinion.

I don's see it as a problem but more of an opportunity this week. Imagine we do beat the Pies without Goddard and Watson.

I'm banking on yet another heart stopper. I'm getting too old for this s**t, how many close ones in a row have we had?

We can still make finals and lose to the pies this week. But we cannot drop another game other than Sydney and we have to belt the rest.

Having BJ out for the dogs doesn't give us that chance of doing that.

sorry you think Goddard is the difference between us beating or not beating the dogs?

May as well pack it up and focus on next year then, because if that's the case we don't deserve to make the finals

It's cool.

I saw it as:
a) you were being dyslexic
b) you were assuming I was dyslexic
or c) you'd spent too much time on the HTB

I'd rather BJ in than out against the dogs though.

Players take note: do not push other players over or you'll be suspended. Instead claw at their eyes or try to choke them. #dutyofwhat

Kane Cornes cursing the missed opportunity to gouge Goddard's eyes in self defence

 

[Drummer_19]

Lol at Petrie getting off when he went for the eye gouge first.

 

[VelvetSledge]

The MRP is farked. Absolutely farked. This is insane.

They have no farking idea.

It's ok you see. Public sentiment is on his side and against lake, so afl are happy with this outcome.

 

[Autobahn]

Nothing to see here

 

[pepsi]

For those conspiracy theorists out there:

North Melbourne are contending with Essendon for a final 8 spot.

Drew Petrie plays for North Melbourne and is an important player in helping them win.

Drew Petrie is cleared and free to play, when he made the first move regarding the eye gouge.

Goddard is cited for a ridiculous act and suspended for 2 weeks, 1 week if he accepts the penalty. Essendon face huge game in place for a finals spot against other top 8 contender.

Sorry I just had to throw that out there.

 

[pepsi]

Oh s**t AFL 360 just showed 2 identical incidents to what Goddard did.

1 was a free kick, the other resulted in nothing.

This is F**ked.

[eth-dog]

But the AFL is in Essendon's pocket, right?

 

[themuldohyeh]

Absolute disgrace

 

[Wattos Waste]

I was disappointed BJ accepted but then I thought to myself how sweet it will be to smash the Pies with no Jobe or BJ.... Bit toey now!

All I can do is ask my question from Saturday again: corrupt or incompetent?

Startling coincidence how the incompetence seems to affect the same teams over and over again.

 

[Autobahn]

See: Five easy free kicks that resulted in goals to Sydney in the first quarter against us. And a guy worth 10 million.

The Illuminati, they will finger you in the night.
