Josh Carr Reported...AGAIN!

[inferno66]

Josh Carr faces a one week suspension for striking Steve Johnson!!!

I don't think its possible for us to go through a game without getting our players reported. The match review panel have it in for us.

 

[dominguez]

Maybe you should be blaming the players instead of the match review panel? If one of our players was hunched over in pain after an off the ball incident we'd want the opposition player reported aswell.

 

[inferno66]

Well players from other sides are not even being sighted for far more serious charges such as head butting. If everyone was treated on a more equal ground at the match review panel... I would not be complaining.

Yeah, I think I saw some of it on that footy show that's on pretty late on Saturday nights.

Gone for 1 week.

He struck him, he deserved to be reported. I don't see why you're disputing it. Freo try to act tough each week on the field and the result is lots of stupid reports.

 

[inferno66]

I don't see all see all the love taps to the stomach getting rubbed out ever week. The video is quite inconclusive in showing Carr striking Johnson with a closed fist. Here is a clip of the incident I found on dockerland: http://www.lawnbowlerland.com/josh.html

Just plain dumb. Regardless of whether or not he deserves a week, he's a f**king idiot for again putting himself in the spotlight when he knows full well he's going to be watched like a hawk.

Completely undisciplined. Again.

 

[Kenny_01]

Dammit.

Bring in Foster?

Here's an interesting stat...

Every game we've lost we've had someone reported. Every game we've won, no-one has been reported...

Stop whacking people and you'll go on a 9 game winning streak like last year...?

Melbourne players wouldn't be sited for such an incident because of the lack of evidence. This is crap. No evidence whatsoever. He'll definately get off.

Thats what I think also. The club has to stand and tell the AFL that they wont stand for this cr*p. How many times can they cite Freo players with lack of evidence

It was a love tap... it should not even be reportable

 

[inferno66]

Just reported on radio...they are going to contest the charge

 

[Cameron_K]

How can Johnson get reported for a headbutt and have the case thrown out and that get reported

one was wearing a fremantle jumper.

It was a love tap, nothing in it.

 

[YelloMit]

Horrible decision. It should be thrown out.

 

[Vintage]

Have any of you guys seen the footage on TV? I saw it, and I'm not surprised at all that he was offered a week. He stuck his arm/fist out deliberately to hit the guy in the bread basket. No ifs, buts or maybes about that in my mind.

F king stupid thing to do by Josh. It has nothing to do with him wearing a Freo jumper.

So sticking your arm out is now worse than headbutting someone or punchin them in the nuts?

 

[sumavich]

He can't go for any more than 1 apparently, even if he contests. Josh has been lucky this year, hopefully it will continue.
BTW St Kilda only have 24 players to choose from for this Friday night.

 

[Reveler]

Josh will contest it!

Give em one in the old chestnuts josh.
