Daniel Kerr

[Dreamin' Demon 10]

With the results from the tribunal this year being anything but clear, Kerr's result can go anywhere.

My prediction - Kerr cleared & Cam Bruce to get 1 week for getting in Kerr's way

[Rampaging Demons 1]

I think that he will be found guilty - Grant Thomas said that Bruce fumbled the ball and so contributed to it... spare me!!

He attacked the head and that is a no go zone!!

[45HG 1,539]

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

[Jarka 767]

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.

[Rampaging Demons 1]

did you think that his reaction indicated he might be in trouble.... the pat to Cam Bruce's chest as mentioned above...

he has been up before on this type of charge i believe, so....

but what a player he is!!

[Nasher 33,047]

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.

[QueenC 74]

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 ?!!!

[QueenC 74]

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.

[Demon16 69]

love watching this guy play, he's a superstar, but he'll get 2 weeks.

[CHAMP 347]

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?

He's in my fantasyfooty team

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,200]

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

Cheers BBP !!!

[deanox 8,623]

...It was definitely sloppy but not intestinal...

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

[QueenC 74]

Oops!!!

Boy my spelling was that bad, spell check made a bowel movement the closest likely word......

Fixed it now, thanks Deanox !!!

[CHAMP 347]

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.

[deanox 8,623]

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.

[Bay Riffin 1,416]

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.

[Deano74 156]

It was high, reckless, medium impact and has a bad record, 4 weeks.

[praha 10,279]

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.

[Madness 44]

He got 2 weeks.

[Gorgoroth 12,321]

and he will go to the tribunal and get let off with a reprimand and 90 odd points hanging around

[Ash35 425]

Yeah, 2 weeks with an early plea. They'll fight that at the tribunal, no doubt.

Even a reprimand though will mean he can't win the Brownlow.

[QueenC 74]

Yeah, 2 weeks with an early plea. They'll fight that at the tribunal, no doubt.

The two week penalty has been accepted by the Eagles.

Kerr's medal dream over
