Adam Goodes must go this time!

[MrMoose 262]

Just saw the replay of Adam "Protected Species" Goodes giving another hip bump onto the head - Bartram this time (I think?).

Surely he has to get suspended now, especially with all the 'leftover' points from the last cowardly effort.

Stynes' record will be intact for a while yet - I hope!

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,734]

Yes, he'll go, esp with the reprimand..

Bout bloody time..

[maximum bob 462]

A great natural player but it's time for a reality check.

Post premiership and Brownlow he's become an arrogant [censored].

He looks for the player as much as he looks for the ball.

[Gorgoroth 13,017]

I missed it, I have a 42" screen and somehow I missed it..........I don't know how.....

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

If your own coach concedes you should have gone, and then within a few weeks you make the same mistake AGAIN, then surely you'd have to go.

He's a very, very good player, but Stynes deserves the glory more.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

I hope he goes too but the hit on Selwood was much worse and he miraculously escaped a suspension yet again. Maybe , just maybe he gets a few points and he`ll cop the 1 week.

[Spaghetti 264]

It was an average act, but he wont go for this. He has avoided suspension for worse things.

[Ewok 9]

The carry over points may get him suspended. 50/50 IMO.

[titan_uranus 25,043]

I would think that his reprimand should mean he goes for a week. That was comparable to the one on Selwood, so he should be cited.

Thought Dunn was gonna get smashed today but Goodes only had 12 disposals.

[Pates 9,660]

We only need him to get SOMETHING for his hit, he has about 90 carry-over points from the Selwood incident so any misconduct charge will make him loose a week. He should've gone for the Selwood bump, he should've gone with that dog act against Godders last year, he's been very lucky so far and it's time his luck ran out!

[MrMoose 262]

Just checked the Swans Forums and they reckon it was soft and nothing in it! They reckon that Bartram should go for head-butting Goodes hip! LOL

Gotta love a democracy.

[AdrianOB 0]

whilst I disagree about the headbut I reckon it was soft and would be suprised if he got sighted over it. Seemed incidental (although to the head) free kick and move on was about what it was worth

[Tony Tea 2,809]

It was, if not almost identical, then certainly very similar to Buddy's bump against Adelaide: a glancing elbow to the ball player's head.

Buddy's activation points tallied 120, but with an early guilty plea he received a 25% discount to reduce the points to 90 and a reprimand instead of the week's suspension he would have received if he'd scored over 100.

If this is what Goodes gets - and it will be an ABSOLUTE disgrace if he doesn't - then the carry-over points for his hit on Selwood will see him out for a week. (Does he still have carry-over points from his hit on Godfrey?)

Still, I have no confidence in the Match Review Panel. There is every chance in the world they will want to pass on the incident. The Fox commentators - Lynch, Pickering and Campbell - were working hard to talk the incident down, too.

I have this diligently researched conspiracy theory that the AFL have instructed the MRP to get Goodes off so that Goodes can take the Consecutive Games record off Stynes. This is because they want to remove as many Melbourne mentions as possible from the VFL/AFL record books before they dump, merge or move Melbourne. A bonus up-side is that it's an AFL Puppet... I mean, AFL Love Child... I mean, Sydney player who gets the record. After all, they gave them a flag in 2005 when they got Hall off.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

It was a soft hit, but he clearly lined him up. You could see that he looked at Bartram, although it was for a split second, then went in with a slightly raised elbow.

Had it been any other Swans player, I wouldn't want them getting suspended for that, but the arrogant scum that is Goodes needs a reality check and a week off.

Glad Bartram jumped straight up. Targeting a second year player who weighs about 60kg is just pathetic. Would love to see him try to run through Brock or Jones!

Like i said in the other thread, IMO Goodes is now officially up there with Michael Long, Brodie Holland and Barry Hall.

[45HG 1,559]

Should go.

As much for his collection of points as this dumb hit. Goes into a contest with a guy with his head over the footy, not looking, no hands out to take the ball, lining up ready to bump.

Should go i think. Careless, dangerous act

[praha 11,240]

I missed it, I have a 42" screen and somehow I missed it..........I don't know how.....

Show off...

[Rampaging Demons 1]

he again went past the ball, which a good ball player does not do!!

lyden dunn did a terrific job and again, the protected one takes his frustration out on the player and not the footy!!

it may have been soft but under the system, he will get points for sure and as such a suspension!!

[Gorgoroth 13,017]

Show off...

Yep

But I actually was meaning that I should have seen it, I might need to wear my wifes glasses.

[Guest melbman]

Surely the AFL must have some sort of duty of care.

If a player such as Goodes repeatedly engages in dangerous conduct of a similar nature and that dangerous behaviour goes unpunished then the AFL holds more than a little responsibility for when it cripples someone.

Enough is enough

[Yencks 8]

stynes does deserve the record more but it seems like he wouldnt be upset if it was broken because he seems like the most unselfish person

he is going to do a great job

Yep, time to go...he has been sent the warning and yet is still very careless. And whilst it may appear that members have the MRP have big bucks on him for the Brownlow, surely now it's time they kissed that money goodbye and rub him out... unless they are still hoping they can frame G.Ablett junior for something.

and ben johnson for hit on bell, gutless

[DemonDave 1,089]

Just reported on SEN that Goodes gets 2 weeks, and 1 with an early guilty plea.

Finally the streak is over and justice has been served!

It's a shame that in the end he got suspended for something that really wasn't all that bad, purely because of the media pressure and such placed on him from his previous incidents.

We don't want the tribunal using this incident as an example in the future, but he certainly deserves to be suspended for his pathetic weekly cheap shots. You play with fire long enough, you'll eventually get burnt.
