Infamous Bulldog Suspensions.

I remember Wee Georgie getting reported for hitting Carl Ditterich one day at Moorabin. He was pretty angry, and I think the umpire saved Big Carl from a severe mauling at George's hands. Carl hit EJ after he got rid of the ball, but I don't think that Carl expected one of our smallest pups to settle the score.

I also seem to remember one of our players getting 9 weeks for running into an umpire (it wasn't intentional). I am sure someone here can tell us who that was.

Heh! Big Carl meets a Braybrook boy for the first time. I love it,

Remeber Chris Grant being suspended by the insurance company due to concerns about nerve damage (I think)in his neck? Anyone remember if he missed a game at all? It unfolded in the week leading up to the season opener IIRC.

Missed a fair bit of the pre season is my recollection, couldn't even train with the club? don't think he missed any games for premiership points but could be wrong

Ryan Hargrave getting a week for sending Heath Black's jaw into orbit was wrong for all the right reasons.

Todd Curley, pretty much ended his career is the general consensus, was in decent nick up til then but never got back in any real form from there on and faded away pretty much

Don't know if anyone travelled to Adelaide the game following is suspension but we made a huge "Free Todd Curley" banner.

We got beat from memory and I got even more of a beating when my GF at the time noticed we were a queen sized flat sheet short about 3 weeks later

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

I remember buckets being passed around at training to pay for Southern's fine

Could be the funniest thing I've ever read on WOOF.

Chris Grant...Will NEVER forgive that Carlton pr.ck!

Reduced from eight weeks I think

Was 4 weeks down to 2. I went to high school with the umpire he ran into, Keiran Nicholls. Was quite the tosser back then and didn't improve when he became an umpire.

That sounds right. He missed a big chunk of the preseason.

They covered it too. Ten grand. The fine was going to wipe out all money he earned after tax that season.

He, the club and the PA were going to sue weren't they if they continued to stop hm?

That's right. The threat of legal action saw them get a new medical opinion.

Funny in cases of medical related insurance companies how people with law degrees can change the final stuff that people with medical degrees say.

What comes to mind at the most infamous, worst, unfair or most serious in your mind?

I'm reading wiki on VFL/AFL suspensions and our Wally Warden got 22 weeks for kicking in 1928. Anyone know anything about it, it must have been something massive!

We must have stupid players. Wally should've kicked the player from the ground, and then it's tripping with low force and a 3 pence fine... 22 weeks suspension in deed.
