Bad luck to the bloke but you played better without him.

He was dominating until he was taken out.

How did Sandi get a broken jaw
No footage and no one saw anything
Low flying Cessna?

He jumped up in the ruck and was struck by a low flying plane. Seriously though I too think there's more than meets the eye.

Seaby threw an elbow according to Annear on ABC, dunno if there is any vision though.

I wonder if Sheeds martians have made it over the Subi????

 

[kanabar]

out for 3 weeks

 

[Lach72]

They said on PEEERRRRR that there may have been more than that and Seaby may be in some trouble??

 

[iscah]

That is tragic for the big bloke. Best of luck and hope a clean recovery

You have another pair of stilts in Warnock. Wonder if he can Ruck effectively?

 

[dockers_bengals]

They said he needs surgery so it looks like more than 6weeks.

Not sure how much more you can have than throwing an elbow off the ball and breaking a jaw.

Intentional, high contact, behind play and high or severe impact = tribunal decides the penalty, no points, no good behaviour, just a big book that gets thrown at him.

That's if we have any vision or they'll believe people like Annear (who as an ex-Eagle might have some credibility).

The guy I was with had the radio and he said it was a punch

 

[larrikin]

You see this is what happens - none of us know how he was injured and now we've gone to Seaby king hitting him behind play from some rumour and innuendo.

Let's just wait and see what happens

*cough* Numerous witnesses.

If Cox had his jaw broken behind play in a derby the west Australian would be calling for a royal commission.

If Seaby has whacked him behind play he should get atleast 4 weeks.

thats the WA media for you might as well cal lit West Coaster instead of West Australian

 

[ThePope]

To be fair, The West covered the game well today, with the only real story on the back page (Seaby and Sandi's jaw) and the main The Game story being about the Freo game plan. The booing was rightly contained to a small side issue, which is all it is.

 

[Exeter]

Yer Eminence,

I know you're all for a lynch'n of our second ruckman, but how do you reconcile the report that says one of the Freo officals stated that Seaby did not raise an arm or elbow and merely braced himself for contact in a show of strength between two big blokes?

 

[Exeter]

and does anyone know the name of said Fremantle official who gave the statement to the AFL?

Whoever he is, I hope he carries an umbrella to their next game.

So, um, after deriding Seaby as a low scum, a dirty dog, cheap shot merchant and the perpetrator of 'the worst behind the play incident in the last 10 years' for something which Seaby, a random Dockers' official, Mark Harvey and (according to the main board) several random freo supporting eyewitnesses are all independently saying was an utterly commonplace off-the-ball collision initiated by Sandi, do you think perhaps you lot all owe Mark an apology?

Before answering along the lines of 'players code-of-silence, just not dropping him in it etc', stop and think whether, assuming Seaby really had been seen to do something as low as rushing up, ambushing Sandilands and deliberately breaking his jaw behind play- why would Dockers officials not just use the standard cop-out of 'nah didn't see the incident', but actually actively go out of their way to fabricate a story to help him seem like a totally innocent guy and Sandi like a bit of a klutz?

Instead, wouldn't the OVER-FRIKKIN-WHELMING-ly likely explanation be that the incident happened exactly how it has now been explained, Seaby is totally innocent, and thus has been subject to a huge amount of utterly unfair bile? Which is why, being all about good sportsmanship, you're all going to mail your apologies off to Mukinbudin first thing tomorrow?

Hmm?

(Naturally, this is after you're done explaining to Juddy how you were 'really' booing Roscoe, and apologising to Roscoe for mistakenly booing and spitting on him, natch. They do say these things come in threes.)

I've said it on the main board.. I'll say it here.

I know what I saw. If the club decided that it wasn't worth going through all the effort and being seen as dobbers, especially given that Freo won't benefit at all from doing so, then that is there call.

You have to remember that there were also other people who saw the hit differently. It will just go down as another derby story.

But no apology from me, and I wonder what Aaron's dad saw. we were both on a similar angle on it.

Shall we push for fixed wide cameras at each end of the ground to ensure that nothing like this ever gets missed from the vision again?

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Hopefully Rocca manages to tread on Cox's bad ankle in a "Harmless show of strength" on the weekend.

As I said, the idea that Freo were just following the code and not dropping Seaby in it is absolutely illogical if the incident was half as bad as you were making out.

3 days ago, this was the worst off the ball act in the last ten years, correct? With the exception of Hoss, you were all unanimously of the opinion that Seaby should -no- must miss anywhere in the region of 6-8 weeks due to the despicable nature of his act. But suddenly its the club's call and that's okay?

If we accept your hypothetical, Freo officials didn't just 'decide it wasn't worth going through all effort'- it would have been very to easy to do that, all they would have had to say was that no they didn't see the incident- that would have been enough, and Seaby would have walked.

Instead, if what you say is the truth, they actually went to the trouble of making up a story which totally exonerated Seaby, and placed the blame for the incident on Sandilands' clumsiness. Far from deciding it wasn't worth going through all the effort to get a player booked, that's actually going to substantially more effort!

I'll ask again, what possible, logical explanation would there be for a club official not just keeping quiet about what they saw, but actually making up a whole new story which places the blame for the incident on their own clubs player?! A simple 'nope, didn't see it' would have sufficed, yeah?

Mate, everyone's come home from the footy absolutely convinced they've seen stuff, only to later on see a replay and think 'oh, thats how it was'- no disgrace in that, when you walk through the gates you are supposed to be one eyed.

Surely you'll admit that's a far more likely explanation than a group of fremantle officials, coaching staff and fans conspiring together to totally exonerate Seaby both in a legal and moral sense, and raise the idea that Sandilands will be eating through a straw for a couple of months due to his own stupidity?
