That's good to know. I thought there was a penalty for contesting and still being found guilty?

Usually an early plea carries less penalty points. So it depends whether the total penalty points spills over to two weeks without the discount or not.

If Goodes loses the appeal he will carry over 80.75 points instead of 35.36 points and will subsequently recieve a 20% loading on all reports in the next 2 - 3 years.

So still a substantial amount to lose by contesting it.

Appeal unsuccessful

Joel McDonald will be back this week for GWS right?

 

[lmach]

Yes he will.

 

[Butler]

James McDonald will return for GWS this round.

 

[lmach]

That's what I said.

 

[Parasite]

Or jumping over the player on the ground to avoid contact.

And be ridiculed for squibbing a contest forever.

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.

Like a scene from The Matrix, he could maybe dodge a few bullets coming from the crowd at the same time.

The first guy said Joel McDonald, not James

Nothing like hyperbole to get in the way of the facts. The 2nd player to the contest can always set themselves up for the tackle. He saw he would get there late, then accelerated then slid in knees 1st.

Heard Stratton on 882 last night saying Birchal will be fine and will play this week. Take it with a grain of salt.

What happened to Birchall anyway ? Didnt see it. Cost me a win first up.
Corky ? muscle tear ? broken heart ?

 

[lmach]

^ I think it was the latter

Corky, knee'd just above the knee in a marking contest.

Good news for Essendon bad news for DT!

 

[Ess_don]

Good news for DT if you didnt start off with him!

Perfect mid-season upgrade to Shaw as he bottoms out and regains form in time..

Excellent news for Essendon indeed, now lets come away from the Blues game unscathed!

EDIT: Surely good news for Marty Clarke's JS as well?

 

[Spuddage]

Hoping its good for clarkes scoring as well, without shaw they will hopefully use him more for run out of the backline

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

yes, will be interested to see if Clarke scores well in the next 2 weeks

 

[Cat for Life]

Heard Birchall wasn't on the plane.

 

[Jessbek]

Heard Birchall wasn't on the plane.

But named?

 

[Ziebellion]

Loving the injury hit im taking, will be a pretty smooth run home if everything evens out.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Mumford out of Sydney's side as well - replaced by Jarred Moore
