Past #20: Drew Petrie - NM '01-'16 (324gms/428gls) - WCE '17 (8gms/16gls) - thx for everything Drew

[Thewlis Dish]

Being overseas I have found it hard to keep up with the proceedings, but could someone explain to me Slobbo's 180. After the game I thought he was damning Lake, calling him a disgrace to the game, and now he is saying that Drew deserves it?

Confused by the hog.

He rang the AFL and had it confirmed that Petrie was charged for facial contact before the choke hold, so changed his tune from Lake being a monster to Lake panicking after feeling fingers near his eyes.

Of course there's no mention of Lake initiating the wrestle and having him in a headlock first.

Uh, he's a massive douche who is employed as chief football writer at the Herald Sun purely for his appeal to the bogan masses?

 

[Psicosis]

360 tonight will be great. Robbo will be up in arms with us challenging, making impassionaed pleas like "it's on

*vomit*

Nor the face first tackle before that in which Lake/Harris landed directly on top of Drew.

 

[Elroo]

I'm glad we are challenging this, in years gone by we would have meekly accepted this from the MRP.

 

[Tas]

Lets hope we get a decent lawyer rather than a board member to represent him. :stern look

 

[Mr. Blonde]

After the tackle Lake has his arm around the back of Drews neck and puts his full weight on Drews face. Drews response to this is to push him off, and the placement of Drews hand at this time happens to be near Lakes face, which means it was the only place he could try to push him off.

Those who are siting Drew as the initiator (Robbo) should have a 100kg man lay across their face and see what they would do. If it were me, I would be doing all I could to get him off me.

 

[Kimbo]

He could've said "it's up to the match review process to determine, I've got nothing to say about it".

This.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Don't like this...should have left it be

 

[blackshadow]

Great move by the club to challenge.

Wouldn't surprise me if the AFL actually want us to challenge as it is the only way Drew can plead provocation and get off - his testimony can also be used to give Lake a righteous whack.

Drew has to drop this players' code bullshit he showed on the Sunday footy show and put Lake right in it.

 

[archereleven]

Slobbo smh

The bloke is a right royal cretin

 

[Liam Boy]

If he misses, I think we'll debut Wood. I also think he'll get off though.

 

[Kimbo]

The lame thinking around provocation annoys the crap out of me. So, like Hall, citing provocation is a defence? Yet, according to MRP guidelines self-defence isn't a legitimate reason?!

In other words, I can say "Hey, I had no choice, he called me names," but I can't say "Hey, I had no choice I was being suffocated and lashed out in the first way that occurred to my panicked brain."

 

[Kimbo]

On a separate point, is it just me, or does the NMFC seem to provide the MRP and Tribunal with lots of 'test cases' and 'precedents'?

Yep, and generally it involves Lindsay Thomas.

Especially when it's a 100kg proven nut job being that person.

Lake deserves every week he gets. No place for that in footy.

 

[muttley45]

Is there going to be a live feed of tonights proceedings on the club website ? should make for a few laughs and groans, if not i shall be watching twitter for updates and quotes

 

[GarnerSmash]

I contend that the Match Review Panel from this point forward change their name to the Decision Engagement Review Panel.

This seems much more consistent with their 'cerebral' approach to adjudication.

 

[Event Horizon]

The fact Drew's hearing is scheduled first, must be an advantage.

JZ contesting the ball and making contact with the head.
LT sliding rule.
LT head clash.
Lachie concussion incident.

I feel I'm forgetting one.

Don't forget when Des Headland went mental on one of the Selwoods. Then claimed the Selwood said something disparaging about his mum or wife, can't quite remember which, and walked free.

Is that definite? Can't find it anywhere.
