Jarrod Berry Eye Gouge Incident: What Experts Had To Say




In Friday night’s Semi-final win over Melbourne, Brisbane star midfielder Jarrod Berry got caught up in a bit of push and shove with Dee’s Premiership player Clayton Oliver in which Jarrod seemed to dig his fingers into Oliver’s eye. 


He got a week suspension from the on field umpire but will be heading to the tribunal Tuesday night to try and get that overturned before the Lions take on Geelong in a Preliminary final on Friday at the MCG to send them into the Grannie.


Like all suspensions big or small, there are always people that discuss what they think should be decided on Tuesday night which is exactly what happened today.

This morning, Collingwood Captain Scott Pendlebury made an appearance on radio station Triple M and when asked about the situation Scott had sympathy for Jarrod Berry, and didn’t think he meant to poke him in the eye and that “he was trying to do whatever he could to, it looked like, get him off.”

Then later tonight we had Mark Robinson speak about this event on afl360. He had this to say when the topic of Jarrod Berry came up. “I think they can downgrade it to careless, but… it’s gonna have to be a really strong case.”

He then said, “I think he should get off.” confirming what most people had thought.

What do I think? It was definitely careless but in the heat of the moment both Berry and Oliver had a hold of each other and Jarrod was just trying to get Clayton off of him and accidentally got him in the eye. No one would intentionally try and eye gouge someone else so I think he’ll just get off with a fine.

Sportsmanship Shown As India Beats Sri Lanka In First ODI

Image
The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka wrapped up this morning with controversy on the field with fast bowler Mohammed Shami Mankading Sri Lankan Captain Dasun Shanaka. There isn't a more controversial law in cricket, and is one that divides the cricketing world. Mankading is a frowned upon cricket rule where you can run the non-striker out just for not being in his crease when the bowler is running in. We saw the Mankad attempt near the end of Sri Lanka's innings with Shanaka only 2 runs away from reaching his century. Shami appealed to the umpire but was quickly shut down by his own skipper, Rohit Sharma. "We cannot get him out like that." said Sharma in a press conference after the game. Dasun Shanaka went on to make his 100 but it couldn't help his team to the win as India steamrolled the visitors by 67 runs. Former Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuri took to Twitter to comment on Rohit Sharma's call saying, "The real winner was the sportsmanship...

The Wildest BBL Melbourne Derby Yet

The Wildest BBL Melbourne Derby Yet As a whole, BBL12 hasn't quite lived up to previous Big Bash seasons whether it be a slump in crowds or a decline in action, BBL as a whole has been on a downfall. Last night at the MCG between cross town rivals Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades may have just lit a spark in the BBL whilst splitting Melbourne and the cricket world in two. The Stars won the toss and elected to bat in a must win match in front of their home crowd. They had the Renegades up against the wall early with English fast bowler Luke Wood sending an out of form Sam Harper back to the sheds on his first ball.  The Stars had their tails up with the Renegades already feeling the Heat it was time for the experience of kiwi import Martin Guptill to dig deep and find some runs. He did so making 32 before Guptill fell to the heat of Beau Webster. Aaron Finch, who had been promising for the Gades so far throughout the season met a similar fate as Sam Harper going second ball m...
