2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

Re: 2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

I haven't seen or read or heard about the Sandi report until just now, but I think 1 week is fair.

Re: 2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

I can easily see him getting off, it was a really soft report.

Agree. As much as I'd like him to miss round 1, I said at the time it would be a joke if he was suspended.

Re: 2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

As much as it's harsh, I'll be surprised if AS gets off.

He leaves his man in the ruck contest, sizes up the third man up, moves off his line, bumps him to the head when Griffiths doesn't have the ball and concusses him. The big rule last year was if you choose to bump and make solid contact to the head, you wear the consequences.

Given this is the first test of the tribunals commitment to protecting the head this year, I can see them wanting to make a statement and set a precedent. I don't see Sandilands getting off.

Your assessment is off the mark, but only just. I think a more progressive pre-season infringement assessment policy should be introduced whereby the first and last rounds of the season should automatically come into play for non-Bulldogs players, with the penalty being doubled.

With that in mind, and without having seen the incident, I think Sandilands should also be rubbed out for the final round of the home and away season.

It's only fair.

And any finals.

To be completely fair.

Good news!

FREMANTLE ruckman Aaron Sandilands has accepted a one-match ban for rough conduct, ruling him out of the Dockers' season opener against the Western Bulldogs.

Re: 2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

Saw a bit of the Melbourne/Port game on replay. Thought Melbourne looked good, they may be finally getting their act together.

Hope they put a good team out against us next week, they will be good competition. With a lot of kids playing, it will tell us something about our depth. It will be great to see the likes of Williams, Lynch and Adcock for the first time as well as Libba, Boyd and others we are so keen to get a look at for 2016.

Pretty embarrassing shit for Carlton, even if its just a praccy match.

Look at the Hawks, they had their inexperienced kids in. Next week we will rest all our older players and the new recruits and rookies will be playing and we may get smashed too. Doesn't really worry me one bit as long as there are no major injuries.

4 weeks to go and I am counting down the days.

Both team were resting senior players (plus Essendon were missing another 12 through suspension). Was a pretty embarrassing effort against a team not expected to win a game. Loved it.

Me too. It's pretty embarrassing for Carlton no matter if it's a practice match or a real match. Getting beaten by Essendon A who have mostly been in preseason for nearly a month but were retired for 14 weeks before that.

But by 70 points?
