Barker striking report

[Darky]

I haven't seen the incident, so can somebody please give an honest opinion of the likely outcome of John Barker's report for striking. The Kangaroos play Hawthorn in two rounds time.

i didnt see it either so can you fill me in too!

It was in a big pack and I don't think there was any vision so I guess it will come down to the umpires word vs that of Barker.

Whatever happened started a little melee and I wouldn't be surprised to see Croad reported as well, he swung quite a few, probably lucky none connected well (that I saw on TV)

Woods wood probably also get reported if he was Carey, but as he is Woods I don't think anyone will give a crap.

Id be more worried about Primus and those little 'shots' he threw than i would be about Woods, thanks Port01.

Darky, if Barks goes, i reckon it would be a week max. I think he is pretty much a 'clean skin' tribunal wise, so im hopeful it would be no more than that (actually more hopeful he doesnt go at all)!

Cheers.

I can only go by what was on TV, I wasn't at the game obvoiusly. I didn't see Primus giving out shots, but I did see Woods give him one in the stomach and then the jaw from behind.

Like I said, if it was Carey there'd be a fuss, but because he isn't nothing will probably happen.

There will be Barkers charge, and a couple of wrestling/melee type charges probably.

It wouldn't surprise me if the incident where Primus threatened to throw the ball at the umpires face (resulting in a 50m penalty) gets a closer look..........

I saw it on television and it looked pretty harmless. I don't think anything will come out of it... if he was to get suspended i think it would be a week, MAX.

 

[Port01]

Of course it was harmless.

I was just implying that if it wsa Carey we'd have a bunch of people on the main board whining and moaning about how dirty he is (like the Johnson incident earlier this year)

Personally I don't care much (although it should have been worth a free kick hehe)

Johnny Barker is the 'Smiling Assassin'

Lets hope he gets off, he isn't a dirty player, i'm sure there wasn't much in it, they were old team mates from Fitzroy just having a little stoush.
