Kerr has torn ligaments in his finger, needs operation to re-attach. Apparently he did it against the Tig's

You do realise that for taking a hand out all these teams no longer have 9Mil Salary cap, but rather something alot closer to 8Mil yeah? Hardly a free hand out. That much less salary cap is a big loss...
Also mate, this descision was not Maths. It didn't go to the Match Review Panal which does all the maths work, it went straight to the Tribuneral which is the old system in which a player is judged.
Ryman...Uhhh if Baker had 127.5 points left over, he'd have been serving an extra week suspension already cause 100 points = 1 week. Not possible unless there's something I don't understand about this system?
Don't know what Baker did, don't like the guy, but for something that wasn't even caught on video 7 matches does seem excessive...

Clubs have to use at least 92.5 percent of the salary cap, it's actually higher from memory but I cant remember the exact amount. I think clubs are only allowed to use 95 or 97.5 percent; its 92.5 at the least, and I think it was the Kangaroos who paid there players that much.
The 92.5 per cent rule was started in the mid 90's when Fitzroy was going broke, and was designed to prevent the Lions from reducing salaries to an embarrassing level to survive, and possibly to help force the club to the financial wall.
I wasnt having a go at the current clubs needing cash; the AFL should be helping out clubs with cash problems, but they should have helped out Fitzroy as well, and I know it wouldnt be easy to apply for it, it would probably bit of a downer for the club.
Clubs needing money should just do what Geelong did and rip off the Westpac (i think)they owed 4 million a few years back, by getting a loan from the Bendigo for 2.9m and asking the Westpac if they paid it back in a week, how much would the Westpac accept... THAT was classic, and even better it was the Cats.
Also, I thought the AFL had rid themselves of the judging process; I thought that was only used if you didnt accept the match review panels demerit points. You learn something every day

Yeah i don't understand either but that's what it said in an article on AFL.com
Yup - I think the Saints will get up on this one......BTW - Baker should have got seven weeks CREDIT (for future suspensions) for taking out Farmer (lol)

Great timing I say
Yeh it sucks coz Baker niggles the crap out of the WCE mid field...i remember he got Judd to elbow him a few years back and Judd was suspended...although with Kerr out and probably Cousins and Judd too it evens it up
LOL...Farmer is a wanker - Baker didnt do a good enough job for the fact that he got up and is playing this week...
Yeah but any time that jerk is floored is a bonus for me......I am so glad he went to Freo when WCE & Freo were trying to get him. It would have been so hard to cheer him !!!!!!!

Well The AFL are a bunch of dickheads!
They accept that he stopped in front of Farmer and he ran into him and they still suspend him for 7 weeks
Bunch of PRICKS!

Good Old Collingwood
Friday night is going to be an uneasy night for Saints and Lions supporters 
. With finals on the line they will actually find themselves barracking for Collingwood to Win against Adelaide 
. There's a first for everything i guess
