Podsiadly needs 5 goals against Williamstown this week to win the goalkicking for 2008.

It appears umpires in the VFL and the Tribunal deem it illegal for a Full Forward to give a positive lead to a teammate in possession of the ball further up the ground. If an opposition player chooses to try to impede the Forward's lead by putting himself between the ball and the leading Forward any contact is called CHARGING. ( No injury occurred to opposition player ) What happened to INCIDENTAL CONTACT ? ( without intent or design ) VFL TRIBUNAL considers CHARGING a player and throwing the player into a fence only warrants a reprimand. ( Injury occurred ) WHAT DOUBLE STANDARDS. !!!!

So how did he go for the VFL side? Nick Sautner is a far better FF than Podsaidly will ever be and dont forget he has missed a number of games this season as well which makes Nicks effort all the better.

Pods did play in defence at times this year too remember. I hope Podsiadly wins it.

I had an excellent view of the Bonaddio incident. I do not follow Port but I reckon Wood was on the way down (slipped) before Bonaddio got there. At worst it was clumsy. Bonaddio is not agile whatever else he may be and probably couldn't avoid the contact. My understanding of the Cameron Wight incident is that the damage was done when his face made contact with the back of Robbins' head when he attempted to spoil from behind. No doubt he went to hospital but not as a result of being kicked in the face.

Thanks for the up-date on old-news. Lets face it, they got off, Sautner didn't. It ain't going to be perfect in any one's eyes, justice will be judged within the eye of the beholder.

The alternative view (and the correct one) is that Barry had actually taken the mark and Sautner charged in to his back late. Nothing to do with blocking as you imply; he actually took the mark. Or is your view that if Sautner is leading, then nobody else can mark the ball? Don't worry, I don't expect a response. I don't actually think the contact warranted a suspension, but he was on a warning, and a suspension has been a long time comming. Consider how many times he has been up, and how many times has he been let off. I think he could consider himself well in front.
