Teddy gets offerred a week for rough conduct - CLEARED

[laughingnome]

This a week after Geischen said players that hit a stationary opponent with their head will not be given a free kick. MRP have NFI.

Teddy to get off tomorrow night. Officials can't get away with stooging us two weeks in a row.

[Untamed Snark]

Seriously?
Really bad call from the officials.
I would love to agree with Laughingnome but sadly too cynical and knowing how much we need Teddy on our defence I think the panel are going to make the wrong decision should he challenge. That said Ted should challenge, it was clearly an attempt to avoid contact

[swansrule100]

didnt know u got suspended for standing still and someone running into you

[Untamed Snark]

If you play for Sydney you can...

[GongSwan]

geez, how many players are we up against, teddy, the complete uncontrollable lunatic?????? What BS, just another example of anti Sydney bias on the part of the AFL, it's like a virus, our blokes don't stand much of a chance

Like the player (For PA, I think) said the other week, when he got pinged by the umpire, "we're not playing Netball"

Did not look that bad. He was stationery I thought at the time.

Maybe they thought that excuse was paper thin. Tish boom.

Will miss him - I know they're not travelling so well, but on paper at least (there I go again!), a forward line of Westhoff, Motlop, Gray and Ebert ain't the worst going round.

[Triple B]

There was a tackle on Sat night (Suns v Brians) that was 100% worse than Mummy's on Ablett last year. Didn't even get a mention that I can see.

The inconsistency is mind-boggling...

Motlop sounds like he will miss with injury and he's not a player you'd play Ted on anyway. Nor is Gray. If they both do play you'd think Rhyce and Smithy would get those jobs. Westhoff is very hot and cold but when he's on he is dangerous. I suspect Reg would be first choice to play on him but if they are worried by Westhoff's height, the obvious solution is to bring LRT back a week earlier than they otherwise might. Reg, if not on Westhoff, can take Ebert, and we still have Marty and Johnson plus Johnston waiting in the wings if needs be.

Still, would much rather have Ted out there. He's been our rock this year.

I say we get back to the old way where if the incident isn't picked up by the 3 Umpires, 4 boundaries and 2 goal umpires then it's play on.

And yet Jack Trengove has been outed for such a tackle on Dangerfield.

The Tribunal will chuck this decision in the bin where it belongs.
