Staff, Simmo and Rainesy all charged by match review panel
« on: July 31, 2006, 04:30:51 PM »
Just announced on SEN:

Staff - level 3 striking charge on Goddard. Can't be reduce below 2 weeks becuase of poor past record. Negligent, high contact, in play, high impact. 3 weeks but 2 with early plea.

Raines - tripping on Fiora. Reprimand 93 points with early plea. Cleared on Harvey incident.
 
Simmo - level 3 striking charge on Riewoldt. Intentional, low impact, in play, high impact. 2 weeks but down to 1 week with early plea - 168 points.

Baker - Level 4 attempting to strike on Stafford. Intentional, low impact, behind play, high impact. 1 week with early plea.

So we lose Staff for 2 weeks and Simmo for 1 week unless we contest.

I believe he actually has to be suspended to be knocked out of the RS award.

I believe Simon Goodwin got a reprimand a couple of weeks ago and is still in contention for the Brownlow

Considering that i think Rainsey should be fine.

They reckon on SEN it'll be reduced to a reprimand for Rainsey - does a reprimand still mean he'll miss RS?

I cant believe that Staff got done.

3AW said during the game that they didnt see anything wrong with it, just a good old fashioned shirt front.

Gotta say I am not surprised - don't think it's right but not surprised. I think he copped it because it's Stafford.

Seriously what is our game becoming :banghead

Mark Robinson on SEN earlier today also said there was nothing wrong with it and Staff shouldn't even get sighted. It was a fair plain ordinary shirtfront  ::).

Rainesy could be ruled out of RS award.

Star fades for Raines
4:45:42 PM Mon 31 July, 2006

Sportal for afl.com.au

Richmond youngster Andrew Raines and No.1 ruckman Troy Simmonds could be ruled out of AFL NAB Rising Star and Brownlow Medal contention respectively after being booked by the AFL match review panel on Monday.

But it is the booking of Raines and Simmonds that is the biggest cause for concern given that Raines - the son of the Tigers' 1980 premiership centreman Geoff - is one of the favourites to win this year's Rising Star Award while Simmonds is considered an outside chance in this year's Brownlow Medal following a stellar season in which he is considered a prime candidate to be named in the ruck in this year's All-Australian team.

While Raines can accept a reprimand from the match review panel after being charged with tripping St Kilda's Aaron Fiora, that would still rule him out of winning the Rising Star Award because the charge carries a base tally of points of 125 - above the 100 point cut-off for a one-match suspension.

But Raines can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early guilty plea.

But the Tigers are likely to challenge at least the Stafford decision given that coach Terry Wallace was adamant after the game that his clash with Goddard was nothing more than a solid but fair bump.

We must challenge all 3 decisions. Club must stand behind its players!

The Staff one is ridiculous. There's no rule against how hard you hit a player provided it's fair, within 5m of the ball and not head high. Staff's shirtfront satisfies all those  >:(.

Has anyone here seen vision of this alleged trip by Rainesy? There was no mention of it during or after the game yesterday. It's just be plucked out today  ::).

Like I said before, if Staff even sneezed at an opponent he'd get a week :banghead

Surely the club must appeal these decisions.  I'd hate for Rainsey to be out of contention for the Rising Star.

Not happy Jan! :banghead

No wonder those rugby league supporters call it "AFL".

Raines misses out on being in the running for a well-deserved award because of 25 points compared to a dog who got a week after hitting someone in the nuts, and an interstate player (can't remember the game) didn't even get cited for tripping only a couple of weeks ago.

Not happy  :banghead

Couldn't agree more Julz - poor bloody Stafford - I mean it was Goodard for crying out loud - you could tap him with a feather duster and he'd need to be carried off on a stretcher. :banghead

Then there's Andy Raines - I mean fair bloody dinkum Aaron Fiora who's most likely fallen over his boot laces he's always been unco-ordinated - where's the vision

And Simmo - well actually Simmo probably deserves one for getting sucked in by that twit Nick  :'( :'( Reiwoldt - seriously that was dumb :banghead
