This is a big one.
Steven Baker (Saints) has been suspended for seven weeks by the AFL Tribunal for engaging in rough conduct against Jeff Farmer (Freo).
Apparently Baker blocked Farmer, who ran into the back of Baker. Farmer was left with a broken nose, concussion and missed the remainder of the Freo V Saints game. Farmer will probably not play against Melbourne this week.
Baker won’t be playing until early 2008.
The Tribunal accepted Bakers story over those of Farmer, a Freo trainer and player manager Ricky Nixon, then suspended him for 4 weeks, increasing to 7 from previous a poor record and carry over points.
Big one.
