MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[simba_]

SPP would get 10-12 weeks base with journos pushing for 14, interviewing crying hysterical mothers, interviewing the front row who were closest, getting juicy soundgrabs about how SPP had "death in his eyes" and "could only see blood", how the crunch brought back shellshock for their grandpa who died on the spot, bringing the AFL brand into disrepute etc

I think there really needs to be a study into the way the media reaction to an incident influences (or fails to influence) the MRO.

The media sets the “community standards”.

John Ralph is one of the biggest culprits. Absolute double standard clown!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Didn't think they would go all in.

The AFL is asking for eight games. I wonder if Zitman will entertain us with his zingers this time...

Ouch
Nowhere to hide there

 

[Grave Danger]

lol - he's bemoaning the backlash his family were getting on social media!

 

[Alberton Proud]

Tell 'em not to be campaigners then

 

[Ford Fairlane]

They're already going to the character references. Looks like he's going to cop the whack.

 

[Buget]

The AFL has grown a pair. And being somewhat consistent.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

You might even call it 'Reckless'

By going for 8, the AFL is being serious.

Knockout out a bloke where there is some mitigating circumstances, get 4, knock him out when you don't have to, get 8, will definitely set the standard for the rest of the year.

I suspect the panel will go for 6 or 7 unless the St Kilda counsel is hopeless.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It really isn't, but I guess they have to set the grounds for an appeal

Any jokes from Zita like he rolled out during SPP's Tribunal appearance last week?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

And now Adrian Anderson makes David King cry.

I'm just keeping an eye on the Fox Footy feed, and it's been straight up reporting. No zingers.

Yep. I'm impressed.

But why would the panel knock it down from the AFL demands given the emphasis on their new guidelines to observe community standards and to not be held by precedent?

 

[Grave Danger]

It's funny to see Adrain Anderson popping up after all this time, now defending instead of prosecuting.

Isn’t that what we call a precedence?

What the tribunal is under no obligation to follow from previous years?

An idiotic defence given the new tribunal guidelines.

Referencing previous years is pointless.

And which the AFL counsel pointed out a few minutes earlier.
