Ah see it now. It read like SS was talking in the present, not the future at first glance. Carry on.

Trouble is Redden won't even be close to topping out, and his bye makes it less attractive. There are worse trades though, if he does well in Leuy's absence.

Goodes not accepting the one-week suspension, will take it to the Tribunal.

Looked accidental to me. If you look closely he turns his knees to the side to minimise impact when he realised the Port player was going in head first.

It would certainly make my life a little easier this round if Goodes gets off.... or more painful should he fail.
I have the Nat Fyfe dilemma - to keep if he plays on or not to keep, plus 3 suspensions hanging over my head all from just this round gone. (Goodes, Lake and Grimes)
So glad i changed my mind from having Looey in my team at the last minute.

Goodes is a joke. What he did was indefensible regardless of the intent. You cant go sliding around into every contest with your knees!
Can he be out for two if he loses his case? That would be hillarious. He should have taken the one week. But being the AFL lovechild im sure he'll get off

Good for you, but not so good if you have Cox, Mumford, Giles and Redden, or Cox, Giles, Stephenson and Redden. Too bad Longer's playing already ...
I'm still confused as to what Goodes was reported for in the first place. Surjan had the exact same sliding motion but got to the contest half a second earlier. The impact on Bruest was far worse... jumping into a contest with your knees out towards a players unprotected head, yet thats just an accident.
Surely with the head being so protected they couldn't honestly expect Goodes to dive in head first?

Goodes needs to keep his feet to contest as he is second at the ball.
In the Breust incident both players had eyes only for the ball. Martin only dropped the mark because of the collision. That makes it a fair contest. Are you sugesting players can't jump for a mark now?

Goodes keeping his feet = broken leg. Just ask Barlow.
Not at all. I'm just merely pointing out how half a second can make a huge difference. Imagine Bruest got to the ball half a second earlier took the mark and the crows player jumped into him and knocked him out. Would that be a reportable offence?
I just think these things need to be taken into account. Rub out the head high bumps and cheap shots, not accidents when trying to win a contest.
Or jumping over the player on the ground to avoid contact. Or seeing that the Port player was going to ground, slow up and go for a holding the ball. There are heaps of options if you keep you feet when you know you'll be 2nd to the ball.
Could he have slid into the contest if Surjan was on his feet head over the ball to pick it up?
The AFL wants to stop the 2nd player sliding into a contest.
I saw the future at half time on Saturday.
