Carlton Supporters Club

If he's accepted a week it's a bit ordinary.

I haven't seen the video, but radio is saying the video apparently shows no contact with Laidler's head/chin and contact with the chest. Laidler apparently throws his head back staging for a free.

Can anyone confirm, is there public video?

And Sam Mitchell gets SFA!!!

Don't agree. Put aside his form and put aside his pay packet and all the he should know better crap.

Judge him soley on the contact made.

And as there was very little to possibly none I can't understand how the club can accept it.

It was dumb I agree but then again many on here harp on about our players needing to get tougher and make a stand. He does something physical and everyone wants to hang the guy.

Like I said minimal contact. If it was a hawk, Swan or cheat he plays round 1.

I saw video if it, hard to tell if makes contact with the chin or chest.

Yeah but he plays for Hawthorn. 

MRP, reported on radio that Mitchell got off because he made contact with an open palm, but I challenge them to take a hit in the face from my open palm and still claim it's below the force required for a charge. I reckon the heal of your palm smacking into someone's face can be as damaging as just about any other surface, maybe even worse!

I'm not here to debate the stupidity of Daisy, it was stupid. What concerns me is that we accept charges and penalties that other clubs appeal and escape. I suppose it's just another sign of how bad our club's financials are, I suspect we cannot afford to take the risk at losing the bond! But that should not be the grounds on which we make those decisions.
