goodes IS in trouble
will get a week if he accepts, and i'd think we'd be pushing our luck to challenge it
Is there actually any footage of what happened?

During the game all you could see was the port player on the deck and normally if a player has been downed like that their team mates fire up a bit but that wasn't the case. If he did do something then he deserves to be suspended but surely deserves more than a week if that is the case?

There is footage but i don't see it as being 100% conclusive that contact was made. The arm goes back, the player goes down, but from the vision i have seen the point of contact is obscured by Goodes' body. We all presume (know) he got him however is this enough? While i don't think we will, we could work the system a la BBB in '05. It'd also give the rest of the league something else to squeal about.

from what i've now seen, it seems more that goodes is trying to shrug the port player off him, but he does it by swinging his arm back, so it doesn't look great, but players have got off worse
i just wonder about his record last year, whether he (and we) won't get such a good go this time round

If Jolly, Everitt and Goodes are all out, who'll ruck for you guys. LRT?
jolly won't miss, as long as nothing untoward happens at training
everitt won't play for at least this week, he's saying he'll be back the week after but i'm very wary
goodes is some chance of getting off tonight
if all three happened to miss, jesse white or dan currie (probly white) have to come to help LRT

We haven't won agaisnt you guys at the Gabba since 2004, and to think of it, i don't think we have beaten you guys at all since that game.

So im tipping the Lions only due to the fact that we are due to win.

was that the game where bally missed from point blank?
Yeah i think so, round 1 2004, Caracella kicked the goal to put us in front. That was the last time we beat you. You guys really match up well against us, even back in 2002/03 you guys always troubled us, that Prelim final was the only time i can remember us getting a decent break on you guys since the start of 2003.

You really don’t like visitors from other clubs here much do you bedford?

While arguing on the main board is one thing he stuck to the protocol with his post in here and showed the club respect on our turf and I like sensible discussion with others about our club. Now back on the AFL board I will load up.

Crap?

Mate i don't want to bring it all up, but if a Lions player did a similar thing or a similar dog act (Brown V Grant, 2004) then i'd come down just as hard, i don't think anyone in the game wants to see the elbow used no matter what the circumstances, feel your elbow, feel your hard it is, it can do some serious damage.

Brown's piss poor attempt at trying to spoil Chris Grant in 2004 was exactly that, piss poor, and it was a soft effort from a hard player who at the time seemed to think those type of acts were acceptable and they are not, i don't care who the team is.

Lets just leave it at that and talk about the game.

I might have gone a bit over the top on the main board, but i still thought Goodes act was at least reportable and probably deserved a week due to his record, i can acknowledge that he was trying to get rid of a lingering tacke due to the hard pitch, but IMO it was a careless act that could have caused injury.

But in retrospect i probably went a bit over the top but we all probably did.

Can you post a clip of the footage that shows him conclusively making contact with Thomas? And thus which shows which part, if any, of Goodes makes any contact with which part of Thomas. Or even a clip that shows there is a likelihood he made contact with Thomas - ie some evidence of Thomas' body recoiling from the action. I haven't seen it.

I think you're right on both accounts. Jolly wont miss, but if he did they would promote White. I think we take an unchanged line up to Brizzy this weekend. Davis will have to show something in the 2s to get back in.

Having just read the ressies post from last week, White didn't get a mention. I take that to mean he was ordinary. There was a bit of talk about him during the preseason after Spida got hurt. Then Roos hosed that down when he said he wasn't a ruckman. I'm very curious about him because I haven't seen him play and our ruck stocks are so low. What are other people's thoughts on White?

i'm sorry i get upset with other fans coming on here,it has been mainly the st.scum ones who carn't get over the 05 prelim.i acknowledge they are able to come on here and post in a proper manner.
but lions then daylight has been relentless with his posts on the main board,i really believe he thinks goodes murdered someone,so i thought he had a real cheek coming on here the next day trying to be nice.
Liz in a latter post sums it up perfectly.
there seems to be a real jealously against the swans on the main board,so wouldn't it be great to win another flag and stick it right up em!

No, cause we would not have won it, the AFL would have GIVEN it to us just like they gave us the 05 flag. :eek:
Don't you remember how Geelong intentionally stayed off Dicky so he could kick his 4 goals in the semi, St Klueless purposely didn't kick any in the fourth quarter of the prelim and allowed us to kick 7 and then the Weegirls, under orders from the fat controller, stood back and let Leo take the mark in the GF. We are Sydney, we can't do anything without the aid of the dictatorship! You should know this, all the BF posters tell us so. Pay attention next time :rolleyes:

Apparently Goodes looked back, lined up the port player, screamed "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee" and slammed his elbow into his face.
