CJ cleared

[The Dustbin]

This is how the match review panel assessed the incident:
It was the view of the panel the ball was kicked to Johns, who was leading to take a mark. Johns had left the ground to mark when Pendlebury intercepted the ball. Johns put his hands up to protect himself and contact was made to the Collingwood player.

Johns had his eyes on the ball until the last moment, when he saw Pendlebury coming into his path. Given that Johns was leaving the ground when Pendlebury cut in front of him, it was concluded that contact was unavoidable. No further action was required

Oh wait... they can't.

 

[Barts]

Oh yay, now he can play this week

I was hoping he got life personally.

 

[DonMania#5]

Would this had happend if it was someone like Lloyd? No..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bugger why couldn't he have got a few weeks for being a spud

 

[hateitorlovett13]

I thought it was at least good to see him actually put some effort into bulldozing someone, he's got the size to do it. Probably be alright if he started knocking the oppositions best player out every week, but he'd have to get more than his average 1 kick a game too.

 

[Lovett Lover 13]

thats a bad thing for us

 

[Willow76]

I would like to see him get another go Daniher will come in for Fletch and no one else is playing well enough to deserve a go we are in real strife.

 

[reincarnated]

That's unfortunate. I was hoping he'll get a couple. Now most likely he will stay in the team.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Shame.
