jaded,

could not have said it better!!

has become a habit of his and did not heed any of the warnings, so a suspension you must have!!

trust that he goes back to being a ball player - does not want to be remembered for being a sniper!!

It's a shame that in the end he got suspended for something that really wasn't all that bad,

Yes, well, in the end they got Al Capone for tax evasion.

and ben johnson for hit on bell, gutless

Exactly.

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.

Exactly.

robby warnock stiff!!

Perfectly said.

What justice!

He's going to miss their game v Collingwood.

I'd rather he played.

ha ha!!

The Pies would say it is fofset by the loss of Rocca... boom boom!!!!

About time.

Forget the hooplah surrounding this incident.

Any more of those cheap shots he may as well be wearing an Essendon jumper.

Memories die hard.

Cop your whack Adam and clean up your game.

Probably not the most serious of the big cases he's had to face... But this is an excellent case of Karma coming back to bite him.

Now... If he defends it and gets off there'll be hell to pay.

One week accepted.

At first i thought it looked a bit softer than his other charges, but on seeing the last replay it really is a poor hit. Lucky he could plead guilty to cut a week off the suspension

Good news!!

Good, totally blatant hit, no eyes for the ball and he saw that Barty had his head down.

I can't believe how thrilled I am to read that. Would have been shattered if Yze got the record because his form often didn't warrant selection, and then I would have been even more shattered if Goodes got it because I don't believe he plays with the same good sporting attitude that Jim did.

Reckon Stynes might have a little smile on his today as well.

Good, deserves it.

Jimmy's record still stands! 244 games!

Correct - had Goodes or Yze taken this record it would have been without merit in either case. Goodes is a top player, but is extraordinarily fortunate to have had his sequence of games go this far.

Jimmy came back from his ashes to keep playing

If masturbation was a citable offence Goodes would be out for life.

I despise that [censored].

It's no wonder he seems to have lost alot of vision. Must be making him go BLIND!

takes one week stynes and yzes record safe for now

He is a fantastic player... As the Age article, and Jaded suggested, "Goodes is the thief booked for jaywalking". Shame he got rubbed out for a soft one when he has other priors that are viewed as worse.

I also admire the man for his longevity along with Yze and the great Jim Stynes, the last time the swans played without Goodes was round 21 in August, 1999 FFS!!! I watched him play in the under 18 granny in '95 on the G, he played well that day. He was not viewed as going to be anything special and he worked his @rse off to become a champion of our game.

On-field violence could put football clubs in court - From todays Crikey

I know the EFL is trying to press criminal charges against a Knox reserves player over an incident against Norwood the other week
