I think we need to play him on the wing, if the RFC had the balls to do the right thing and drop McIntosh for being an under performing mediocre slug a spot would be open and BBBG would be our wing swing man

Can't tell if you're being serious or not.

Not sure which post is funnier here - Chucky's or Dougey's.

Watching that replay, Sandilands has to cop a suspension. He turned and looked at Griffs and then decided to bump with the shoulder which hit Griffs in the head. Given Griffs didn't play the rest of the game then contact was forceful enough to warrant a suspension for Sandilands.

Never like to see someone get hurt. However, I thought Ben was particularly unimpressive in the time he was out there.

x2, I called this last night. If he doesn't go it will be a farce.

x2. Keeps recieving opportunities. Im not sure why

Was poor pre-injury. Worrying player.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I thought he was poor too.
However he was rucking against Sandilands and he is too short and now too lean to do that.

IMHO he needs to do less running and put on more muscle and impose himself up forward. I think the match committee has erred in his role in the team. Because of this he has gone backwards.

Must get weeks for that as it was deliberate, high and resulted in Ben getting concussion. 2 - 3 weekd for mine.

[Jacosh]

Should (and will are two different things) get a few weeks for that. 
It looks to me like he knew Dawson was going 3rd man up and his only intention was to bump Griffiths out of the contest, got him high as he turned his head at the last moment but made sure he made enough contact.

FREMANTLE ruckman Aaron Sandilands could miss the Dockers' round one clash against the Western Bulldogs after being found guilty of rough conduct by the Match Review Panel on Monday.

Despite the offence occurring in the first round of the NAB Challenge against Richmond, Sandilands must serve the penalty in the regular season after his bump was classified careless conduct with medium impact to the head.

The ruckman made high contact to key forward Ben Griffiths' head during a ruck duel in the third quarter of the clash in Mandurah last Friday night.

He moved to his left to block Griffiths' run, with the Tigers using a third-man up in the contest.

The original penalty was two matches, but Sandilands has no applicable record, giving him a one-match discount.

In the first case examined by the Match Review Panel this season, a medical report from the Tigers was used in settling the final penalty.

There were no other incidents assessed from the first round of NAB Challenge matches

Griffs to also undergo a concussion test. Needs to tick the necessary boxes before being in the selection mix for Saturday’s NAB Challenge match against Hawthorn at Beaconsfield.

Btw, Sandilands has accepted the one-week suspension for his high bump on Griffs.
