Looking at the vision it would seem that he definitely has a case to answer for. I guess its a matter of how many points are racked up.

I wouldn't surprise me if he got off, being a Collingwood favorite.

Posted

Gone. Has to be at least 2 weeks. :lol:

Posted

Would have to get two weeks, possibly reduced to one if he takes an early plea.

The fact the Jones lip needed attention won't help his cause.

You'd think after the Campbell Brown incident, and the furore that it happened behind play, they'd have to take a dim view of assaults 'off the ball' (which Thomas' was).

Posted

The thing is, Thomas will get two weeks, max.

Compare that to Trengove's tackle...

Posted

Cynical me says: Not many players are playing as well as Thomas so far this season, which means he is in the running for the Brownlow, which means he will not get reported.

must be suspended. the ball had left the immediate vacinity which in my eyes makes it behind play, intentional, high contact and Jones had to go off with a bloody lip which means it had to be of some force and that evidence won't help daisy's case

no pressure MRP but your creditbility( what is left of it) is on the line

Surely its two weeks (early plea brings it down to one). Which means no Swan or Thomas which surely helps our chances of a win. Saying that their depth is very good plus Pendelbury is a very good player.

2 weeks reduced to 1 surely.

Anyone else think there is irony in the fact Thomas smacks Jones in the face

he has to go off and Malthouse doesn't apologise for his team cheating.

Or what about the Krakouer goal which he claimed off a St Kilda mark

nice little can of worms Mick has opened.

MRP is answerable to the AFL. Pies are the jewel in their Vic crown and the heavy weight (ie., biggest money earner/spinner). IMO the AFL would more than likely want the best possible outcome for their heavy weight favourites both Vic and interstate. Provided of course the incident isn't too controversial or likely to be questioned to the point of being embarrassing.

At worst.... he gets off with a fine/reprimand. Preferred outcome would be no sighting at all. That way the MRP avoids the scrutiny/controversy if he gets off with fine/reprimand and Daisy is still in the Brownlow running.

Demons and other lessor Vic clubs (in the eyes of the AFL.... this is only my opinion/gut feel...i hope i'm wrong on this) are fair game and likely to be scape goated in such incidents in order to demonstrate that they're upholding the goodwill and spirit of the game (eg., Trengove incident... 3 week fiasco).

In the scheme of things, I don't really care as long as he isn't allowed to line up against us.

Posted

The MRP has no qualms about monstering Melbourne with decisions like the one involving Trengove but I doubt they have the cohunas to take on Collingwood.

Here's how they'll view it - the MRP considered the clash and determined there was insufficient force used to warrant taking the matter further i.e. these days you can take a punch at an opponent but don't tackle.

Posted

I watched most of the game but did not see this incident, is their any footage going around?

Tackled Clint Jones who got the handball off to another Saint and the play moved on. Jones was on hands and knees, getting up, with Thomas on top of him. Thomas basically punched in the jaw from behind then.

They'll call it "accidental" and no case to answer.

Just ask Colin Sylvia....It Stinks, but tomorrow will give us an answer...The Media have been quiet though. Nobody wants to challenge the Filth....(except us!)

If Trenners gets 3 weeks for accidental concussion arising from a tackle during play, how can Daisy get anything less than 3 for a DELIBERATE AND FORCEFUL contact to the head with his fist, off the ball, resulting in a head wound?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
