So flowering dumb. The last thing we need is for players to be not available because of stupid things like suspensions

I cant imagine that RTB is very happy.... Sylvia, Simpson and now Balla

Ricochet · April 22, 2014, 11:10:53 AM

QuoteBallantyne faces a one-match suspension after he was cited by the Match Review Panel for two incidents during the Dockers' loss to the Sydney Swans on Saturday night.

The small forward was charged with striking and kneeing offences against Swans defender Rhyce Shaw. With an early guilty plea, the charges carry 93.75 demerit points each, adding up to a total penalty of a one-week ban and 87.5 carryover points.

With no existing record and early pleas, Ballantyne can accept two reprimands worth 93.75 points each.

However, his points would be added together to total 187.5 points

Ooh right. Didn't read that the charges carry 93.75 demerit points EACH. Silly little man that Ballantyne is :P

I find it strange that Ballantyne gets rubbed out but yet nothing mentioned about Hodgey gut punching Stevie J yesterday.

Haha, its all part of the theatre. Those two were going at it all day. Fans pay to see that kind if niggle. Kneeing is a different issue.

They haven't done the MRP for that game yet. I think Hodgey will be in trouble and I think he knew it as soon as it happened, hence why he tried to make a joke out of it.
