Freo to challenge Fyfe ban

[Ziplock]

slowed down it looks really bad, is there real time footage? like fyfe could have been trying to push him off, then when he stood up his leg came out?

[redevilfc]

How does Glass get off and Fyfe gets two weeks? Surely Glass has a bad record, he cleans people up whenever he gets the
chance (e.g. J. Brown last year). MRP has already been poor this year starting with Lindsay Thomas.



Lyon must have put a chunk of money on Fyfe for the Brownlow  :P

that's it j brown wtf!! is this ur research haha. shouldnt of even gone to the MRP

They weren't trying to get Fyfe off, they trying to change the charge from intentional to reckless.  This would incur a 1 week fine and less carry over points. 

An interesting point (which the tribunal appeared to just ignore) is that Fyfe wasnt even looking at Jackson when he stuck his leg out - so how can that be intentional. 

Have to wait and see this morning if Freo do decide to appeal.

[Ricochet]

Honestly can't believe they would challenge when we have GC this week and the Pies next week.
It just wasn't smart

Can you link me to the footage that you can clearly see Fyfe's eyes looking in the opposite direction to Jackson's body?

But come on valk, ever heard of a 'look away handpass'? The players eyes aren't on the target but its defintely intentional..

That's the only camera angle we've got I think...

So you can't see Fyfe looking/not looking at Jackson but he must've known he was there, Jackson's hand was on his chest!

I agree it's probably a bit harsh a sentence but the intent & contact was there so imo there wasn't really much point of challenging at all..

To be honest Ele, I didnt even notice that Fyfe wasnt looking at Jackson.  I noticed that Jackson wasnt looking at Fyfe and was just sitting on his legs and his hand was in his chest.  While on the subject of "Come on Valk"... you cant tell me that the "kick" was all that hard and IMO that means Jackson is a bit soft.

They werent trying to challenge to get off, they were challenging the charge from intentional to reckless, which would still come with a 1 week suspension.

But at the same time a bit of a jab into the kidneys is never fun..

Exactly. It's unnecessary, irrelevant of how 'hard' it was. Jackson was making the most out of it clearly searching for a free. But calling a professional AFL footballer soft? Ok mate ;)

[valkorum]

I have copped bigger hits than that in my footy career and I keep on playing..... and I am nowhere close to being a professional football player (although I have played at Subiaco Oval :P)

Either way I think the the initial agreement that Fyfe should have accepted the 1 week suspension has been lost - I think we can all agree he should have taken the week.

[elephants]

Haha Jackson didn't go off though :P He got up and kept playing.

Anyway, thats beside the point haha.

Fyfe and Freo should have copped the week, agreed.

At least we don't get opposition players wrongly suspended! Plus, there's nothing in the rules saying being first to the ball means you can't win a free kick!? (Ok, ignore the sliding rule :P)

[Toga]

Haha wow at those flips lol :o 8)
