Blind Freddie reckons we need the Filth to knock off the Crows on Friday, and for us to kill the Tiges. So the question arises, if Rocca is pinged will that help? I reckon he will get off. Having looked at the incident several times it looks as though he pulled his hand back immediately after contact as though to indicate he did not mean to strike.
In my opinion his absence from their line-up will add strength to their attack so here's hoping he plays.

not meaning to strike wont get you off.. just means it will go from deliberate to negligent.

Remember Baker got done for attempting to strike.

If the Pies win...we only need to win against the Tiges..a win of any size will do.

We either want him to get off, or get 2.

If they win on Friday night and we get over the Tigers we may play them in Week 1.

VERY VERY good point!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll get one week, invoking the "how can we screw St Kilda over"? law

Rocca is overrated anyway.
He won't be the difference between Collingwood and StKilda.

rocca is overrated not in the league for talent.

but he does work very very hard.

even if he can't mark, and he is nowhere near the quality mark that reiwoldt, loewe etc are, he is disciplined enough to bring the ball to ground.

and collingwood's B team midfielders work very hard, so even when beaten, they can mop up.

work ethic is burke like, without the talent in some of them.

Burns is one of the most disciplined midfielders around, and easily of the same quality as brett rattan and nathan burke.

This is the kind of attitude that St.Kilda supporters are known for.

Embracing mediocrity.

My most hated team is Adelaide, so i would gladly barrack for Collingwood on friday night, but if it were the other way around and we needed the Crows to win, i wouldnt blink.

Who cares who it is, if its good for us, why not go for it?

I'm not cheering the Pies on, I'm just booing the Crows and wishing bad form on them!

Charge was thrown out.

Buchannan got one.

Ive said it before and ill say it again
Sydney are a bunch of koalas in that they are a protected species!!!

As for Rocca getting off i am very suprised, coz he did hit an afl lovechild (also sydney player) in A.Goodes, im suprised that didnt come with an automatic 2 weeks on top of the actual incident

If i remember correctly J.Cloke missed a GF because of a very similar incident, when he smashed T.Edwards face

Iratedebate · Mon 27 Aug 2007 3:49pm

I agree. He couldn't possibly only get 1 for that, it should be 4 minimum. I know he plays for the AFL'S love child, but 1 week surely not

No, it's not a joke, it's the AFL, through their MRP, rubbing our nose in it!

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE

can someone post the link to the MRP findings re Buchanan - ie. was it negligent/high impact etc etc....let's analyse that before hanging him.

He may have got a 25% clean record discount + 25% early plea discount remember....

Yep, 2 weeks discounted by 50% to 1 week.

The hit from Buchannan was High contact, and hard enough impact for Clark to be assisted from the ground (like Farmer).

How hard was the hit by Baker?
Oh, that's right - no-one saw Baker hit Farmer!

I've got no issue with the loading on Baker's penalty. It's the fact he was found guilty with no video proof or evidence that he actually did anything other than stnd in front of Farmer, and was given 4 weeks.

Behind Play · Mon 27 Aug 2007 4:48pm

Rocca got a reprimand....IMO that should be better for us. I trust the big oath pulls his finger out and kicks 10.

Yeah, as long as he doesn't do it the week after against us.
