Nat Fyfe Report?

[auscoyote]

Freo still may appeal the verdict yet.
Not saying they will, but pretty sure they can. If they decided to come this far they might back him in to the finish. :)

Why would we challenge, we don't even need him against GC!! ffs Freo

Brownlow maybe?

[me]

freo should appeal and get a qc who can actually argue that there is no way you can determine that the kick was definitely intentional from that angle

yeah fyfe -> watson for me this week

if i had westhoff i'd just hang onto him for a week, he could smash out another ton... only had 1 bad score

Same moves for me. Keeping Westhoff

I can't believe I have to keep Westhoff, but it's looking that way.

I think I'll go Fyfe-->SJ and Goodes-->Hartlett (still not sure if this should be Gibbs-->Hartlett) and then next week I can get in a MID premo for Westhoff by the use of SJ's dpp.

Fyfe will now miss games against the Gold Coast and Collingwood.

Yep, that's how stupid the Dockers are. The incident was caught by the main camera, which in any legal ease language was "intentional," and they challenge it on that basis. That's what you get from a football club wearing purple, I guess. It's just foolish, I feel sorry for anyone that owns him because 1 week off would've been a great refresh for Fyfe. But now he's got to go.

WHY FREO WHY?!

come on, it's GC, who cares about them, it's an easy win
and now he's missing Collingwood as well
Flower you Freo!

FREMANTLE is counting the cost of fighting Nathan Fyfe's kicking charge at the AFL Tribunal, with Ross Lyon admitting the star midfielder's two-match ban "really hurts."

"Maybe we should have priced the risk greater, because it really hurts now," he said.

Well I bet it hurts... so why risk it?!

"At the end of the day we respect the umpire's decision."

Respect the "umpire's" decision... by challenging it? Some logic. I'm miffed and as was the tribunal, who said they couldn't possibly see how the incident couldn't be defined as intentional. Fyfe deserved 1 week, he didn't deserve 2, but that's how the system works.
