Answer 1

They got it wrong.

No matter how many of these stupid carryover points were taken into consideration, no-one deserves three weeks for giving someone a clip under the ear.

The tribunal is gettin pathetic.

Just as bad are these prancing

gaily coloured pipsqueaks of

umpires - who give 50 metre

penalties if a player so much

as looks sideways at them!

Answer 2

Yes, 3 weeks.

Way over the top. But I've learnt to expect such treatment towards the Eagles by the AFL & it's tribunal. When will they finally stop punishing the team? The AFL has the WCE a shattered shell of themselves - no wonder they are playing like they are.

The scrutiny that they have been placed under is also way over the top considering behaviour of some other teams.

And I'm not a WCE supporter.

Answer 3

im an eagles supporter and  i luv daniel sooo much....but idk hes gott think ..it did kinda look like an accident..but not to mention that guy he hit fell on the ground...weak. ohwell time for my team to wake up...daniel kerr is trying!! he gets a frickin tagger every week and still nearly beats them.

u guys without a tagger (the other 17 playing) wake up!! ill never tip against u guys eva!! so the most i can get every week is 7. just dig deep, get inspired just c'monnnn...don't fight each other fight the other team! goooo kerrrrr!!

Answer 4

I guess so, because he has had a bad record at the tribunal and being his third this season already, but being an eagles fan i dont like to think what the next 3 games will be like, with out one of our best, or if not our best player out, especially when his out for the western derby :( But i love the way he plays and if it means his out for a few weeks so be it, give one of our many young blokes some games up their sleves.

Answer 5

Didn't see the incident so I can't really make a comment, but the MRP is a joke! Mooney got off  with the MRP claiming no contact was made to the head of Palmer!

I'm not sure West Coast would be all that disappointed though :) Now the tough decision for WCE though, Natainui or Rich.... :)

Answer 6

No. He should have got 5.   2 for the hit and 3 for being a slow learner!!

Answer 7

someone said "don't know what went through his head" - he has such a chequered record.

if he keeps biffing with intent, what will go through his head will be the fist of Dean Solomon or Barry Hall!

I reckon repeat offenders should have a doubled penalty, then third timers for the same offence tripled, and so on.

Answer 8

I have watched it a few times,  i think just on the incident alone, it's a bit harsh, 2 weeks at most, but then the record comes into effect, so they give him 3, i thought i heard he got 4 weeks, did he plead guilty?, therefor getting 3 weeks?

White is a ball player, I don't know what went through Kerrs head,  it was just a stupid act really, he'll be gone from west coast from all reports at the end of the year.

Answer 9

They got it horribly wrong.

One can always rely on Kerry biffing someone during a game. it makes for better viewing. Three weeks for a little love tap around the ears - what a lot of rot.

That is something that has been done since Adam was a boy. If an opponent gets in between you & stops you competing for a mark it was part & parcel to give him a whack behind the ear.

Answer 10

nor was amon buchanan's bump on luke hodge

4 weeks with carry over and a 5 week sanction

how was david wojcinski's bump FAIR

he accepted a 4 match ban

THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED and is a FALLACY!
