I cant get my head around the social media crap trying to suggest Josh Smith is incompetent as a player and if he had braced himself for contact that nothing would have happened. Multiple facial fractures happens how??? So angry!!!
Swans are pushing for a sanction below 4 games. Have unironically argued that the length of Parker's career and the lack of repeat offences over that time should be a factor (AKA the good bloke defence)
Now we are left with a gaping hole in our backline. The last thing we needed was to lose a big body. A lot will depend on Max Williams and Joe Lloyd will really need to step up. They might use Angus more in the back half as he has played CHB in the past. Newnes can also play back if needed. Might be a good time to try a younger guy - McManus showed promise as a key defender last year, and maybe Davies could be tried as a defender if they are fit.
Putting Davies in the backline might be a worthwhile idea. The closest he's gotten to playing this year has been as an emergency in one or two games, so perhaps he'll struggle to get a look with how imposing our forward line is this year.
Does anybody know the make up of the VFL tribunal ?. Hope it is not made up of ex AFL duds.
Great to see the Tribunal make a statement regarding the status of the comp & not bow down to the AFL heirarchy.
Gotta feel for the victim who would be entitled to seek further compensation being unable to Eat drink probably not work for some time.
Luke Parker sent straight to tribunal
Graded as Carelss - High Contact - Severe Impact
looking at a minimum 5 game ban

Luke Parker suspended for 6 games
Good......this was a petulant act from a fading star who was frustrated that he had no impact on the game. Lucky he didn't cop 8, the grub.

We might be from the bush. but we ain't green
Sydney are appealing Luke Parker 6 game suspension
If he gets his suspension reduced it'll be a bigger joke than Cripps getting off in 2022.
