No forced changes this week. Love it.

 

[Stamos]

What an absolute ****ing joke of a ruling.
Everyone involved should be sacked tomorrow.

 

[Accidental genius]

Michael Christian trying too hard to be relevant I guess - about time someone else came into his role

 

[Stamos]

Better than being suspended FFS

Still wrong though

 

[JustaBattler]

Charging into tackler with head down - now officially sanctioned. Well done AFL fknuckles.

AFL really want to get serious about protecting the head, start fining/suspending players trying to draw high contact

 

[Dramoth]

The opinion is a joke. They found that Mansell didn't duck. Really? What was that little dip of the head and shoulders just before Boyd made contact with him. All that finding did was make it easier for the duckers and divers to get free kicks from ducking their head and driving into a tackle.

Didn't Mark Austin suffer a broken neck from doing something like that? What's it going to take to get the AFL to get serious about idiots who put themselves into situations where they could suffer from serious injury, just to win a free kick.

That being said... good that Boyd got off the suspension.

EDIT: It was Simon White.

So they still didn’t admit that Mansell ducked his head from the vision they watched, it was basically only because Boyd took some late steps to lesson the impact so the charge was downgraded…
The key aspects of what the case was explained in that report makes no sense at all…

 

[Juddalenko]

Apparently Mansell crouched down, not ducked. It was more of a duck than the mallard I saw quietly paddling about down at Coburg Lake this morning…

Time for a proper match review panel. At least 3 people on the panel.

[Dadda Dave]

Oh and suck Slobbo!

You suck shit too BT you puppet

 

[Number_9]

An absolute clown show, and after four hours they say he didnt duck??? Have they watched the footage?

 

[RedFury]

I doubt there was a single tribunal member who agreed with all of that.

It sounds like an eventual (because of too much time) compromise between parties that could not actually agree at all.

 

[Aphrodite]

they reckon Mansell didn't duck.

Should of happened after his 1st season , he's a 6 pack short ..

 

[Blue and Silver]

For those unfamiliar with legal wordings.

"We do not make that finding"

is not, "he didn't do it."

It's more like we don't want to say he did, because that's not what we're here to do.

They found, by the letter of the rules that they had to decide it was medium impact, and also that it wasn't because Boyd was obviously not trying to hurt Mansell

Anyone who who can watch the footage and not see Mansell duck should have their driver’s license immediately revoked

I suspect that there is an element of not wanting to create a precedent there.

Kind if like "we agree but we don't want anyone else to use that defence so we'll let you off on a technicality. Here's your slap on the wrist and off you go".

Thanks for this. I had read it differently. But it could have been clearer.

Pretty much.

While there still all there, appeal again.
