if hodge, headland and burgoyne all get off before playing us, and goodes and west get nothing after playing us, no way he'll go. his defense could just be shock at seeing bruce with his head over the ball

I feel sorry for Kerr because he'll probably get a week or two for it. After watching the reply it was a little reckless but there wasn't much malicious intent and he made sure Bruce was ok immediately afterwards.

Having said that if it was Pickett or Moloney then everyone would be screaming for his blood.

It was sloppy and careless, and the AFL have shown no mercy for this kind of thing before. He'll get at least a week, I imagine; not intentional but definitely reckless.

He immediately knew he'd cocked up after he did it, which is why he made sure Bruce was okay afterwards.

I'm with Nasher......

It was definitely sloppy but not intentional, but if the AFL is true to their word (and try not to laugh at my attempted sincerity in saying that) about penalising those making high contact to those with their heads over the ball then he should get at least a week.

That being said, who the hell really knows these days ;) ?!!!

It could also be interesting to see what happens to Brett Kirk.......

He will more than likely be looked at for seemingly running into Chad Cornes front on as they were both going for the ball in the Swans win yesterday over Port.

I wouldn't feel sorry for Kerr at all. He knew he was in strife the moment that impact was inevitable and attempted to make light of the situation. Didn't he make sure that Mitchell was "OK" too after whacking him in the orchestral-stalls? Although there is no denying he can play footy he's proved time and time again that he's a first-order worm.

What is his tribunal record like over all?

I think he's been suspended twice, plus a trip to the clink.

Cheers BBP :) !!!

are you talking about a head high contact, or a bowel movement? lol

It's not something I'd fancy anywhere the face or head. Sounds very enteric.

he better go. the afl have said that this is no go, you cannot ump a player who had his head over the ball.

personally however i dont think it was as bad as some other incidents. he didnt try and clean him up, i think he wanted to make body contact to contest the footy. it looked like he tried to twist out of the way a bit, and propped a little so that he didnt run right through him. it was more of a hip to the shoulder than the head...

personally i think this example should get a couple of weeks tops. if the afl have any resolve or balls it should be 4-8 weeks based on how they have treated pickett and others...

i dont understand why they need a special rule about bumps to the head. it was already covered by the rules: you can hip and shoulder a player to the side or front, as long as its not to their back, and as long as no contact is made to the head. he got the head so he'll go for a week or too, but it wasnt the worst ive seen.

I am particularly interested in this as I am sick and tired of seeing the Eagles getting treated too well by the AFL.

He is a great player but deliberately hit Bruce in the head over the ball, something the AFL have been very clear for players to avoid.

He should go and get 3-4 weeks IMO.

He has been up before and was it last year, avoided a certain penalty for smashing Mitchell in the family jewells.

Who knows what the AFL will do, maybe they will provide him with $50,000 worth of counselling over the publicity of the incident.

AFL, stop standing around like a WWF referee as Jake the snake Roberts puts a live snake in his opponents trunks, and pretend you see nothing and start going hard on this crew.

They say they will be hard on reckless head high collisions - well make a stand FFS.

don't forget Miller gave Hansen I think it was a little slap in the game last year, that grandma would laugh at, and he got TWO weeks for it.

Give these pr1cks nothing. No injuries and golden run from the AFL, I wanna see them get hit and have things a little tougher.

He'll go for atleast 1. What made it funny though was that he knew he did wrong as soon as he did it, and checked to see if Bruce was ok. He knew he was screwed. It was a pretty light tap and Bruce acted it out, but Kerr still checked cause he knew he was gone.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
