Frosty Demon 153 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 franklin also staged when he got the free for his only goal. bloody joke should have been cited
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 What a joke, this one should have been thrown out. He grazed him while trying to knock Franklin's arm away from holding his jumper and Franklin hit the deck looking for a free then bounced back up instantly when it wasn't paid. Glad he can play on the weekend but it sucks he has this hanging over his head now for nothing.

Deecisive 1,709 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 should appeal, 93 points for that is garbage.
SaberFang 7,151 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Where's Marshmellow Franklin's fine for staging? Pathetic.

The match review made it low impact, which probably says what they thought of Buddy's fainting fit, but he did make contact and an unsuccessful appeal leaves him out for a week. Better to cop it sweet.

This is a perfect example of why the system is flawed.

(Bumbers get rewarded with marquee games). Oh, I forgot, the AFL Commission is dedicated to preserving the integrity of the game. Bloody joke. They introduced a rule to penalise stagers....but absolutely zero integrity in it. Joke. On 28/04/2014 at 10:13, Al said: The whole system is a joke. Not a fan of carry over points.

Bombay Airconditioning 6,507 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 So if Georgio repeats the action, he misses a game. Two separate trivial incidents which don't warrant suspension by themselves have their powers combined to total x amount of points which warrants a player to miss games. I always wondered where the Pluck-a-duck wheel wound up.
John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Hard to prove that Franklin was staging because he did get a whack. Georgiou can look at it as a medal to pin on his chest and have a great conversation piece for the rest of his life. Many a laugh for the retelling of how Buddy fell like a sack of spuds.
Machsy 2,858 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I hope Georgiou appeals. For one, it'll highlight the hilarious dive from Franklin. We should bring a spotlight on it and make him look like an utter goose. Secondly, for an accidental glancing blow where no harm was caused, this is an unfair punishment. And thirdly, because I know the AFL tribunal won't throw it out, Georgiou will get suspended, and he'll be out of the team. And not a minute too soon. He is a liability. So bloody awkward that he is a danger to his teammates. Anyone see McDonald win the footy, about to kick, and then Georgiou ran across his path? T-Mac had to pull the kick, attempt a sidestep and then in the split-second it took him to reset for a clear kick, he was tackled and he turned it over. Bloody Georgiou... Can't get him out of the side soon enough.

Can't get him out of the side soon enough. Can't believe this. Georgiou has not been beaten and has allowed Chip to go forward. One of the finds of the season and will be a fixture. He may be awkward but rarely turns it over - unlike many others in the side

If you're not attacking and somewhat dangerous, you're making it easier on the opposition. Like I said, he's a bloody liability and dangerous to his teammates.

Try an unexpected touch, inadvertent contact to the face. Georgiou is very unlucky I think to get a similar finding to Gibsons full on hit from behind to the head. Reckless and high contact I think for Gibbo and should be similar to some of the bumps that have been judged to be too high but inadvertent. By the way Machsy I reckon Georgiou is a positive, he has a real go. When you find a silky skilled half back to take his place let me know.
chook fowler 19,772 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 We are obviously watching different games

Nasher 33,683 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I may be alone, but I thought a reprimand was appropriate. I know it was unintentional and I agree Franklin's reaction was pathetic, none the less he made forceful contact with another player's head. I expect he'll be a little more careful where he swings his fist next time, and he learns the lesson without having to miss any games. Anyway it would seem he has accepted the reprimand.
