Last time Beamer was suspended he didn't make any contact at all with Jimmy Bartel.

I'm still mystified by that.

[Sideshow Bob 2,463]

Jacko13 - I dont think he gets 2 if he loses. My understanding, from the info I heard from The Ox on SEN last night, was that it is basically a free hit. Its one or one.

He also got a discount for a five year good behaviour record. Unlike that ca'rnt Hille from the Scum who just keeps lining smaller blocks up. It's a mad mad world!!

you might be right there redleg, but I was under the impression that if you contest the charge you lose out on the bonus of accepting the lighter penalty for an early plea. you risk the full penalty (which was 2 weeks to be downgraded to 1 with a 25% reduction for 'good behaviour' and an early plea), if the tribunal rules against you. The tribunal may rule in your favour and downgrade the penalty and/or charge if we win. That may mean no suspension or 1 week. but it won't go up from the potential 2. confused?????? me too!

So if the appeal is thrown out, the early plea is taken away, which means 2 weeks.

If they accept the appeal though, they may choose whether to downgrade it to 1 week (but with less points) or no weeks.

Am I right?

His 5 year good record means no matter what outcome is reached tonight, he can only get 1week. Its a no risk exercise

It is now 6:23pm. Has no-one heard anything?

Although he was found guilty of a front-on bump against Port Adelaide’s Tom Logan, by downgrading it from reckless to negligent, it means Moloney escaped with a reprimand and 93.75 demerit points.

Moloney is due to play his 100th game this weekend against his former team, Geelong.

Just put on HS website....

Great news! Though, its crap he was found guilty!

As he should Play this Week.

[grant 10]

Absolute horse.

I can't figure that rule out. He didn't get him high, both players going for the ball.

Stiff Brent, very very stiff.

Brent get 1 week for going hard at the contest, causing unintentional high contact that he activately tried to prevent by turning his body while Jay Schulz gets off scott free for his off the ball punch to Garlands solar plexus!

An absolute blight on the game. The AFL have no idea and are ruining the game..

[Jaded No More 68,975]

He's free to play!

On Demonology they said BM got off. Hope they are right.

Read above.

He was found guilty (which is BS), but the charged was down graded. Has recieved a reprimand & 90 odd points.

But, he will play on Sat.

HES WON IT

AND RIGHTFULLY SO http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/95011/default.aspx

100th Game! Well Done BEAMER!

This was another reason to protest his innocence.

For those who may be interested,,, i propose that we send Beamer a message of solidarity & thanks for all the Heartfelt efforts he does for our Great Club... It wouldn't take long to scribble down a few words.

While i am very grateful that Beamer gets to play his 100th game on the weekend i am beyond confused after reading he was found GUILTY ?

We gotta have a better system that this especially from the initial screening of incidents thats the MRP are set up to do

[Sir Why You Little 37,310]

Excellent. We stood up & won

Way to go, now play your absolute Best against the Best, Beamer-Do it on their Dung Heap & lets start to really wake up the Football community.

We may not win Saturday-but i sure hope the players are planning to.

Guys like Beamer have been around a long time. Winning is important to them. 100th game (w)? B)

He was found guilty of a lesser charge (not the initial charge), one that amounted to less than 100 points. So he still accrues 'penalty' points but does not get rubbed out.

Think of it like a suspended sentence.

[deeangel 2]

Different activation points bring different sanctions for each type of offence. So Schultz's 5 results in a lesser penalty as striking is seen as a less dangerous offence than forceful front on contact. Which as a basic rule I believe is right, a tummy punch isn't going to cause as much damage as a hit into a head with potential to snap a neck.

The problem is Moloney's action was not forceful front on contact. The forceful contact was delivered straight down the side, he may have collected the front with a loose arm but it isn't the type of contact the AFL should be worried about. It shouldn't be a reportable action.

Best bit of that article At least proof read your work you flogs.

Thanks for that but now it doesn't matter.

[ICU2 Jerry Jerry 257]

Congrats Beamer. He would be personally stoked to play against the Cats in his 100th

Against the mature cats mids Beamer could well be our most important player on Saturday IMO

[biggestred 5,242]

its still an absolute disgrace that he gets more points for a bump when going for the ball than a guy who deliberately punches someone else.

Spot on!

But, just so pleased for Beamer that he gets to take on his old team in his 100th!

Go Beamer! Go Dees!!!

Common sense prevails... Never thought I'd say that about an AFL decision.
