News Nick Stevens given one match ban

[Chodders]

Not 100% sure but from this thread on the main page Nick Stevens was given one week for his little jab on Rick Ladson.

I am guessing it was assessed as more than 100 points but less than 200 so he will probably have some carry over points. I will admit after seeing the incident I thought he was going to get 2-3 so I think he is a little lucky given that Rick looked ot be in a bit of a bad way. Silly thing for Nick to do after the club had been pretty disciplined for most of the year. Jarred Waite was pretty much the only player I can remember being rubbed out for the Blues this year and he was only give one week.

Does anyone have any stats on suspensions for 2008?

 

[thylacine60]

If my memory serves me correctly he came to the club under a suspension he had to serve before he even played a game with us.

 

[LemmingMaster]

I think he should be happy with only scoring a one match ban.

 

[Jezza U Beauty]

I think the only other suspension for this season was Adam Hartlett getting 2 weeks for fast-forwarding Cam Howat's calendar by one week.

 

[Murph_The_Smurf]

browne coped 3 weeks if u remember then that was thrown out at the tribunal other than that it was just hartlett who from memory copped 2 weeks in rnd 1 and waite who copped one week, as u mentioned

That was a good hit.

Didn't Waite cop a week after the Freo game?

Would we be the most disciplined club in the AFL this year? Must be close.

Is this Fev's first year without an "enforced holiday"?

 

[Bluebear]

Didn't Waite get done against Fremantle too?

*snap*

 

[Chodders]

Yeah just heard on the news he was given two but reduced to one with an early plea.

Yes, a very disciplined year for the club given the readiness for the tribunal to suspend people for relatively minor or innocuous incidents.

Let's just hope we don't turn into Hawthorn as we improve and have players under the scope on a weekly basis.

 

[Blueinblood]

appeal!

The term for the best mind-set for AFL level is 'controlled aggression'.

Cameron Cloke has it down to a fine art form: he has all the aggression in the world towards the contest and the ball, and when necessary, the man; but there is never any malice or ego involved, once the contest is over he turns and jogs back to his place on the ground. EVERY player at our club would do very well to take a leaf out of Cam's book in this regard and aim to achieve this balance in their on-field demeanour.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We should be a very committed accountable team in round 1 next year.

 

[jonoman89]

appeal!

No chance. He's incredibly lucky not to get 2 weeks - Ladson was bleeding and half unconcious.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Ladson was bleeding and half unconcious.

Pfft, that's how he normally looks .... sheesh.

 

[BlueBelle]

I'd take that. I thought he'd get more than a week.

 

[DamianBis]

Yeah. deffinitely take it. I thought he was very lucky to only get 1 week, the only way you'd appeal is if there is no chance of a second week, which i doubt.

Fev did have a forced week off didn't he? Didn't he get a 1 week club suspension? or am i thinking of last year?

 

[as0l0]

only 1 week? Wish it was 10! *vert*

 

[HBF]

Ouch!
Although, Stevens did have a shocker on Saturday night.

 

[ratten7]

Carlton should ban Nick Stevens from playing seniors until he proves he is willing to bleed blue. He,s a lazy fat sheepdog. He should be elite and bringing it evry week, not just when he feels like it. Just a waste of talent.
