Biglands 4 weeks

[DaveW]

Pleaded guilty.

Bit over the top I think. But then I guess it balances out with his lucky let off after round one.

Not surprised I guess, Bickley got five in 2002 for a similar incident, just shows if the players are going to raise their elbow they are going to pay Cant look back to the past now just what is ahead,hope Rhett has learnt something and will come back in Round 8 fired up and ready to get on with 2004

I thought 3, but you can't argue about 1 more match.

It was a stupid stupid action, and certainly didn't help our chances to win any.

I read on the main board that he was fined by the club too... Was that true?

That was mentioned on fox footy, yeah.

Bit pointless I feel.

 

[Go South]

Ouch.

 

[Nige_Bix]

Baker?

Then it will be interesting how many Baker gets. Derek H-Smith on WLF made the point that I agrre with, that he should get a few more than whatever Rhett got.

I thought he would get something along those lines.........what a tool.

Chastened Biglands gets four
8:16:40 PM Tue 13 April, 2004

Adelaide ruckman
The month-long ban leaves the winless Crows side without the key player, who shares the rucking duties with Matthew Clarke.

A remorseful Biglands travelled to the AFL tribunal for his hearing on Tuesday night, and said he had been severely reprimanded by his coach Gary Ayres and fined by his club for his actions.

Polak was concussed after being met forcibly by Bigland’s upper forearm during Sunday’s match at Subiaco Oval. He was removed from the ground on a stretcher and was unable to provide evidence at the tribunal as he has no recollection of the incident.

The report was laid immediately by field umpire Kieron Nicholls.

Tribunal chairman Brian Collis said players had a responsibility to play fairly and responsibly, and that Bigland’s crude strike had the potential to inflict serious injury.

Biglands said he understood he had brought the game into disrepute by such a crude action.

“It was a poorly executed fend off, a blatant skill error and a terrible one at that,” he said on Tuesday night.

“It was a fend-off that went horribly wrong.”

“There was no way in the world I intended to hurt him. My intention was to contact his chest.”

Biglands said he had telephoned Polak for the second time on Tuesday, and also communicated an apology via- Docker Matthew Pavlich on the day of the round three match. Biglands said he had also apologised to Polak’s parents.

Fremantle expects Polak to recover from the mild concussion he suffered after the incident.

Biglands will miss his side’s clashes with St Kilda, Richmond, Geelong and Port Adelaide.

The positive outta all this will be Huddos exposure.
He wouldve learnt a lot from the Freo game.

Agreed TJ. It will do Hudson the world of good. He won't let us down either.

Just to scare everybody - or make them physically ill - if this had happened last year, guess who would have led our 2nd ruck for 4 weeks??

Things aren't that bad after all, are they!!!

Agree Dave on both counts. How many games would Biglands have got if he pleaded not guilty!

I think its fair. I thought he will get 3 if lucky or 4 games otherwise. Deserved what he got. I know he is not a sniper but that was an ugly incident and deserved the penalty he got.

Lets hope Stafford gets 2 weeks so Huddo can go head to head with the soft one. I would be looking forward to that.

 

[Rough_Edges]

damn, He is in my dream team but I do like Biglands he is a good player, I didn't see it what exactly did he do?

Did he deserve 4 weeks??

 

[Asgardian]

Yep GoSainters10, I reckon 4 matches was a fair penalty.

You can't go around smacking your elbow/forearm into an opponents jaw and get away with it these days.

Just as Baker should go for 6 because he acted as a sniper, off the ball punching a bloke not even looking at him. That's a low mongrel act.

He's in my Dream Team too. Matter of fact, these were the players in my ruck division before last weekend:

Biglands
Goodwin
Gardiner
Primus (don't ask me why...)
Hudson

Only Hudson left

Same here. 3 out of 4 of my rucks are not playing now, unless Hale or Bradley make a return this week, I'm 1 short. At least I have Salopek as a backup for Goody. For defenders, have lost Banfield & now it looks like Wilson may miss too...

Stafford will be getting more than two weeks he broke a blokes back he will be out from anywhere 8 - 10 I reakon.

 

[conVINCEd]

Baker should get more than Rhett but remember Brodie Holland only got two weeks for punching Williams when he wasn't even looking, and that was off the ball as well.

I cannot believe the inconsistency of the tribunal. White gets a week for doing nothing and Lynch gets nothing for breaking Wakelin's face - and Lynch didn't get close to the ball.

Crazy.

I just hope Stafford gets 8-10 weeks and an arranged bare-knuckle brawl will Hamill. ****ing sniper.

I have Salopek and Wilson too.

Great minds..?

Where are you in the comp. I am ranked about 3100. This week I have Crawford out suspended and Mark Johnson still with a hammy.

Assuming you are talking about the Kellog's dream team, I'm 1,389th out of 48,464 with 5,195 points.

Also, regained my overall lead in the Big Footy fantasy comp.
