Moloney's Brownlow chances over

[titan_uranus 24,980]

No, I don't actually think he can win the Brownlow, Chris Judd will see to that, but if anyone considered Beamer a chance to take it out, that chance is gone.

He's copped a reprimand for his bump on Griffen.

Unless he successfully challenges.

The fact that Griffen was pretty much BOG before and after the bump goes in Beamer's favour.

I thought if you got a reprimand you were still eligible?

I think it's based on the base points - in Beamer's case, the offence was worth 125 points, and an early plea reduces it to 93.75. 100 and over (in other words, a one match suspension) means you're ineligible, I'm pretty sure.

I take it this is the bump where a stationary Beamer braced himself and Griffen ran into him right on the boundary line....

Beamer has got to stop lifting weights. Too solid for this kind of game.

Why would you bother challenging a reprimand? I know the points carry over, but it wouldn't be worth the risk.

The guy who put a million dollars on Geelong has already put a million dollars on Judd.

Agree. Take it and run.

Meh. Im not really fussed either way - if he lost, he'd only miss Port in Darwin. Could be good to give him a few weeks rest.

Gotta be kidding mate, we'll need to be at our best to be any chance of pulling off a win there. It will not be a walk in the park.

[biggestred 5,016]

i was of the understanding that you could get a reprimand and still be eligible.....

[biggestred 5,016]

(which is wrong, IMHO)

[ox_5 163]

Base points need to be under 100 to still be eligible. Beamer was over 100, so he is out of the running.

[biggestred 5,016]

ah, thanks for that. doesnt make it right though... isnt the brownlow for the best and Fairest?

The only way fairest comes in is that the umpires often don't like dirty players and players who constantly argue for free kicks.

Doesn't matter anyway. He wouldn't win cause he plays for MFC and Chris Judd is still playing.

Yep. If he wore a bib with "C" on it, might have helped his chances.

Strikes me as the sort of player that if he can play next week, he plays next week.
