Suspended again, minimum 2 games if he pleads guilty. what a moron.

I have to admit I disagreed when people were calling for him to go, but it was the perfect decision.

The guy has completely lost whatever he had in 2000 and is perfectly suited to the Dockers.

Is it just a coincidence?

Shaw and Harvey were at Essendon, and we had the highest number of reports for two years running. They both move to Freo and they have a high number of reports.

Quite funny. He shouldn't even be in a side that wants to finish top 4.

Got a week!

Should have got more.

My dream of seeing him back in the red and black (playing for the Perth Demons) are getting closer to fruition!!!!!

I must admit that I thought it was typical of the tribunal to even suspend him.

The shit that players get reported for these days is just mind numbing sometimes.

He should just do some drugs and then he'll have no problems with the AFL.

As for playing at West Perth...don't count on it happening anytime soon as the coaching staff thought that Solly was close to their best player in the game against Adelaide so I don't think he'll suffer for his poor game in Brisbane.

He's allocated to the Perth Demons not West Perth who are Red and Blue.

west oz papers have been crucifying him over here. What did they really expect!

I liked Solly, but his footy brain isn't even in neutral, but reverse.

He's not our concern anymore. Let Freo spew.

Sucked in Freo!!

Let's see if we can get 'em to take Bolts and Bradley for a slew of draft picks at year's end.

what is this about 2000?

Solly was good in 2001 and did his knee in 2002. Was 3rd in the B&F in 2004 which was clearly his best season. Was asked to put on weight to play key position in 2005 and 06 and was playing injured for most of the season out of position I might add.

I have seen 3 of Freos games this year and he was good in 2 of them. Maybe he played like a dog in the others, I dont know...

But for ppl to say he has show nothing since 2000 is ridiculous.

Spot on. I think last week showed that we still miss what he bought to the club.

I still remember the game he trounced Richo. It was fantastic to watch.
Shame he did his knee, shame he bulked up. That didn't help his knee or his mobility.
He needed to adapt to a different role, which was the enforcer type.
Unfortunately, he was costly in that role.
I always liked Soly, almost as much as Hardwick.

We miss what he originally brought to the club - toughness. He wasn't afraid to but his head over the ball and would soften up oppoistion players.

The problem was in the last few years he wasn't playing well and he took his tough-guy role too far, giving away stupid frees and loosing focus on the game.

Part of the problem may also have been the win/loss thing. When you're winning most weeks, a few stupid frees doesn't matter, but when you're losing every week they stand out more.
