The AFL Tribunal found that this was 'medium' impact, but downgraded the sanction from a one-match ban to a fine based on exceptional and compelling circumstances. Here are the full reasons on that: We turn now to exceptional and compelling circumstances. We find that those circumstances do...

Charlie should know using that type of tackle is asking for trouble. If the suspension stays i hope, he learns a personal and team lesson. Charlies only hope in my opinion is Lever did not have both arms pinned well before contact with the ground. So, Lever had some control to protect himself...

No surprise Port supporters bar a couple can find some way to get their player available for round 1. SPP must be living under a rock to think he would be able to do that and not risk suspension. Players do stupid things and if outside the rules they pay the consequences. Some posters have...

They do except 50% of the fans think it should have gone the other way;)

Correct but it never, ever included money either. Good luck to the Dees for winning the big dollars on offer this year. However, if the AFL want to keep this very compromised new format it should revert back to a trophy. The mens premiership already comes with a big cash prize. In my opinion...

Picket and McAdam should have got 6 weeks each and Franklin 4 in my opinion if the AFL is intent on reducing the number of players getting concussion. The AFL have put $25 million aside for concussion research. A better solution that costs them nothing would be to take this style of bump out of...

Of course i have. Not here for an argument just trying to educate some of the BF posters where they can get the correct information. Obviously, a waste of my time in your case and possibly a lot of others. Your (crows) lawyer could argue all 3 factors were judged incorrectly would not have...

Nothing to do with the Picket decision Did you at least make an effort to read the guidelines

I am a neutral supporter of all the 3 incidents so have no skin in the game as it were. It is not about what the media, supporters, or all the 6 clubs involved in the 3 incidents think or believe. it is about what is in the Guidelines for the MRO and what will the tribunal consider if someone...

Not sure why it took them so long. 3 is fair as set out in the MRO guidelines.

kirky just using your post as a reference point as it has the 3 incidents in image format which is good. First i would like to state that the bump as in these instances should be taken out of the game. Simpon Goodwin also agrees. Some tweaking to the rules will get that done but that is...

I like the comparison images they are excellent. However, 4 of the 5 categories mentioned with a tick and a cross are not really that relevant. Looks good though when trying to make your case in the media. Clear concussion assessment is fine to mention, as it is part of a medical report and...

I don't believe this thread is still going But to answer your question This AFL document PDF is only for the "on field officials" being goal/boundary. Their is another for Unpires

Below chart is the Goal Umpire process on Score Reviews. Not the field umpire. Different chart for that one The AFL has reviewed the call and stated a behind was the correct result The AFL could have elaborated a bit more, but probably don't want to go down that path as it will never end The...

Thought i would check out the main board on the Rioli incident. The big issue for me was that only one footage version and images was repeated time and again over various media outlets Below 3 images taken from AFL's initial video on the incident These images are taken in the first 5 seconds of...

I noticed the link to the rules is out of date Mostly the 2017 rules are the obvious ones people will click on to find a specific rule However their is a link to 2019 rules if people notice it. For Chief Could you replace your link with this one as reply's are closed in your section. It is the...

Yes - Substitute the Bont with another player not in Brownlow contention they get a week. Or someone like a Mitch Robinson type player they get a minimum of 2 weeks.The sooner they change the Brownlow eligibility the better. Just pick a number anything from 1 to 4 weeks i could live with.
