Yep, saw that too.

Good news. Though even if he missed Round 1, it wouldn't of been that bad though

Though it was 1 week he deserved. Reckless to the very extreme

Got that brain fade out of your system now, Adam? Good, now don't do it during the regular season you beautiful legend.

Huh? I thought it was complete bullshit. Did not even warrant a free kick. Goodes kept his studs well away from the other guy and used his legs to trap the ball beautifully. Play on.

Are you a soccer fan Skystyler?

Reason I ask is that I have a feeling soccer and non soccer fans might have different views on it.

If my theory is right soccer fans are more likely to 'condemn' the incident.

So on my logic you would not be a regular EPL soccer watcher.

If you are I'll just delete the post.

Big no no this season with the AFL already stating that they will be forwarding instances to the MRP on each occasion. It was spoken of specifically in the video sent to all clubs at the start of the year.

I thought the supporting actor should have recieved a gong Hollywood style.

its a joke isnt it, kinda like a bloke getting charged for attempted manslaughter.

It was pretty dangerous. NRL have stamped it out as well, so it's not just a soccer thing. I'm just glad it hasn't affected his brownlow contention.

Not surprised but it is a weird one. Normally when you see a reportable incident you think 'he's gone'. When I saw the Goodes incident it was more like 'wtf was that?'

Odd thing to do.

Agree absolute bullshit, what the f are we doing with this game. No one got hurt, move on. Vlad and Anderson should go and work for Abbott, same stupid mentality.

It was Adam's Soccer background coming into play. Saw the tackle at the ground and turned to my friend and said "lucky he is playing AFL because if he was playing Soccer still that would of been close to a Red Card"

Deserved a week, just for being so stupid for going two footed into another player and trust me if you think that's being soft, I would hate to think what some of you would say if he broke another players leg? Hardly soft or tough would it....

But he didn't !, F soccer this is our game without prima donna's , except RVP

He was sliding, how the heck can you stop yourself when you are sliding along the grass. There was no intention to do damage as far as I was concerned, but just went to ground and slid into the player.

Shouldnt cop a weekl for that!!!

no, I dont watch a lot of soccer. But I know a dangerous slide tackle when I see one, and that wasn't one. Perfectly executed slide to win the ball without hurting the opposition. I agree, there was one camera angle that made it look worse than it was, but the front on shot showed Goodes took care to keep his opponent out of harms way.
