Brad Scott Appreciation Week?

 

[squashface]

We should have a new version of Brad Scott week?

From the article linked above

Chris Scott said this not Brad

This is very good

Would be better if they also had the clip from the post-match with him saying it was a fair bump and he was fine.

This is the product of the Melbourne football bubble.

From their entitled perspective the rest of the league are essentially NPC's. A necessary evil to help flesh out "their football game"

I've been thinking for a while now that the interstate clubs should set up their own league and F the VFL right out of all the money we give to their floundering clubs - then we'd have a smaller league where we can add in the Tassie Tigers (they can't complain about that name with Richmond in the VFL, can they?) and the Darwin Dingoes or somesuch, ten teams, play each other twice home and away, it couldn't be fairer and we wouldn't be propping up those losers in Melbourne any more. Or take Collingwood (much as I hate them) and say, Geelong along for the ride for twelve teams if you want. How good would that be? Imagine the howling from the Victorian media!!!

The AFL owns all the teams don't they ?

Or at least have the rights

A league source confirmed that Dillon can appeal a tribunal decision on the basis “an error of law has occurred” or “the decision of the tribunal is so unreasonable that no tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it”.

If they want to appeal (I understand that is unlikely now and may even be too late) then literally our defence should just show a loop of the mark of the year video round 1 nominations promoted by the AFL.

At least 1 has no regard for duty of care to the other players. Because it was in a marking contest. And so was Willie's incident.

In any/most other contest scenario's (ground ball contested, after ruck tap, loose ball on the wing, handball receive etc) you have the option of how to approach the ball and multiple options of the action you take (corral, tackle, attack ball with head down or head up, bump, etc). In a marking contest you choose to jump or not, and spoil or mark attempt. That's it. You can't hold back off a marking contest then decide to tackle because that is better for duty of care - the opposition take a mark and in this case have a shot from 45m out.

That's what the issue with the outrage is - they can't articulate (could be end of sentence here!) what the alternative/s were as it really is just pull out of any contest and let the opposition take a mark. No player is doing that.

Making the decision all the more curious was that the man who oversaw the panel’s decision is this year’s tribunal chairman.

For several years, Gleeson was the AFL’s go-to legal advocate. Previously, he would’ve done everything in his power to eradicate incidents just like Rioli’s.

They just can’t get their peabrains around this can they.

Firstly, as the AFL’s legal advocate, prosecuting players was literally his job but now as Tribunal chairman his job is to weigh up the evidence presented and make a decision. It’s not a hard concept to understand

Secondly, given his previous role he would be uniquely qualified to see through any bullshit offered by the defence given his years of experience in trying to point it out

It’s as if anyone disputing the verdict hasn’t read his reasons for the decision

“The tribunal will be astute to uphold any charge where a player was initially intending to contest the ball, changed that intention and in doing so breached his duty of care. That is not this case,” Gleeson said.

had eyes for the ball as he entered this contest. There is no doubt he braced for contact a split second before contact, but when doing so, did not cease to contest the ball. The way in which he did so was not unreasonable.”

The determination was that he made a reasonable attempt to contest the ball and in doing so didn’t breach his duty of care

How is this so hard to understand

Looking forward to

OUT: Rioli (rested)

Stop speaking sense. I did a pub test, saw a couple of photos and worst angle from the video and I'm outraged! Rioli had no eyes for the ball as he was running back with the flight, he was just looking at Rowell. Outraged. OUTRAGED. Fabric of the game. Blah blah blah.

I’d love to see a straw poll from those complaining about the decision which player they thought was running with the flight of the ball

Hint : It wasn’t Rioli

I will say that chipping Foxfooty on twitter all day has been quite fun
