Kerr and Carr cop three

West Coast’s Daniel Kerr and Fremantle’s Josh Carr have both been given three-match suspension by the Match Review Panel for their incidents over the Anzac Day weekend. Kerr was charged with headbutting Bulldogs veteran Scott West. The panel concluded that the contact to West’s jaw was medium forced, intentional, high contact that required West to recover on the bench. With Kerr’s poor record the penalty was raised by forty per cent. Kerr accepted the three matches and didn’t risk further penalty. If that wasn’t enough he also coped a $900 for wrestling with Dylan Addison who received the same penalty. [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 6

Footywrap puts Michael Voss under the microscope this week after his uninspiring halftime rant about ‘possibly’ coaching the new Gold Coast team on Saturday night. Do you think the AFL might want someone who can pronounce their own name to head up this new franchise? Also, there was Max Hudghton’s bizarre outburst at Matt McGuire during the Saints loss to Port. Paul thought it was very inappropriate pointing out that it happened at their ‘place of work.’ Jeff didn’t have a problem with it. [Read more]

Round 6 Injuries

SOME hard fought games over the Anzac Day weekend have left a few players worse for wear. Most noticeably was the broken finger to Power big man Chad Cornes, who could be out for up to four weeks. Cornes broke the finger after he slammed his hand into the turf during the first quarter of Port Adelaide’s win over St Kilda. He showed some bravery by returning to the field after treatment to play out the rest of the game. Chad Cornes had surgery on the broken finger on Sunday and is expected to resume modified training later this week. [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 5

Footywrap is down at Tigerland this week to see what the mood is like after their draw with the Bulldogs. Surprisingly Nathan Brown in his press conference accuses Brian Lake of faking his injury so as not to have to take a crucial shot at goal with a minute to go. Later in the day he went to a medical centre in Pharan for scans on his hamstring. Elaborate media hoax or serious injury… You be the judge. Also discussed is the dodgy centre bounce that cost the Magpies against the Kangaroos and the demise of the Demons. The AFL asking during the week: what do they stand for? Paul reckons this is a difficult question for any club to answer. [Read more]

REB’s Rubbish: Round 5

We all got bent over and spanked last week by the so called predicatable round. This week I’ll be out to do better or more probably pick up another five winners. My monumentally mediocre tipping thus far this year has netted me the severly underwhelming tally of 22 winners. It’s a good thing I’m on a diet cos I won’t be getting the chocolates with those numbers. [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 4

Paul and Jeff give their opinion on Barry Hall’s right hook - according to Paul, the best he’s seen in footy or in life. Also, they enter ‘inverse world’ where Brisbane come back from 8 goals down in the rain in the last quarter to beat Port and Richmond and Carlton are also on the winners list. And finally, some ideas get thrown around for the 17th and 18th AFL teams. The Gold Coast ‘feeling’ has a certain ring to it don’t you think? [Read more]
