Holland and Brad Johnson under investigation

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Apperantly Dutchy and Johnson of the Bulldogs are both under investigation for their altercation yesterday.

Brad Johnson is being investigated for head-butting (how the hell did he grow 10cm to actually reach Holland's head, I don't know ), and Dutchy for the very serious allegation of eye-gouging.

The outcome will be known tomorrow.

All I can say is, thank god Carroll kept his cool...

When i saw it on the TV i thought there could be a problem for Dutchy but i don't think it was deliberate. Hopefully he won't get in trouble. As for Johnson, i hop he gets 6 weeks for whatever he did, i hate him so much on the field! (recon he could be a good bloke off though)

[praha 11,253]

I don't think it matters. I don't expect Dutchy to be making the trip west anyway.

Anyone looking at why Godfrey fainted on the wing, with West leaving the scene?

carrol will play on lynch

But of course not

Two weeks in a row Godders is smacked behind play, and two weeks in a row his opponent gets away with it.

I wonder if Kerr will be so lucky when he inevitably gives him one this weekend.

As far as taggers go, Godfrey is a fair player. I have never seen him do anything illegal, in fact, has he ever been suspended?

I don't know why he isn't getting umpire protection.

According to Hutchy (god I hate that man!) on Footy Classifieds, West is under investigation for that hit behind play on Godders.

So maybe that will put a stop to players belting the premium tagger of the AFL :D

Copped a reprimand in 05 or 06 for a heavy bump. May have been in Adelaide.

Having said that, for a tagger who gets under everyone's skins, he does appear to be a fair player.

Surely Clogs just says he was retaliating - the old Headland defense.

With due respect does Godfrey have sign on his solar plexus and head saying hit me. Godfrey is doing what he has to do to nullify a more talented player. He is being a serial pest to these players. Whether he is always being a fair player is a moot point and an assumption at best.

Holland to face tribunal for eye gouging, maybe holland could say he could not see because of the blood coming( in the world of WWF he must have bladed himself ) from his forehead.

johnson in the clear and so is west.

I meant fair as in not being Cam Mooney, Des Headland, Broadie Holland, Fraser Gehrig etc....cheap shots for the sake of cheap shots.

I don't mind players being serial pests as long as they don't go out snotting blokes like the above named.

No of course we can't have these darling doggies on report <_<

i agree entirely. Rhino Richards, watch how godfrey tags. he gets in front of players, he positions them away from the ball and he is quick to react: when west got around him he tackled him as soon as he got the pill. that is a lot different to holding on, pulling the jumper and stopping the other player contesting the ball.

tazzie arem made a great point. we are almost as schizophrenic as either geelong or the dockers. we dont win the games we should (ie carlton last year), we constantly play above ourselves to pull of other games, then this year we lose 7 in a row, but we could easily have own the last 2. betting on melbourne is gambling suicide...
