Nathan Schmook:
"I knew i had to push out of that position to prevent any damage."

"My breathing was OK"

"I needed to push out of that position for my own safety."

 

[Gasometer]

Nathan Schmook is a good touch typist.

 

[Roobound]

Nathan Schmook:
"I just pushed the first thing could feel, which was his face … that's all i could feel."

Nathan Schmook:
"It's a position you don't want to be in for too long."

Nathan Schmook:
Says he couldn't have done anything else.

17:25

Nathan Schmook:
Petrie now answering questions from AFL counsel.

 

[Roobound]

17:26

Nathan Schmook:
We're going through the initial push from Petrie, who says he realised it was Lake's face he was pushing, but he had no other option.

 

[Roobound]

17:27

Nathan Schmook:
Says as soon as he realised he was pushing Lake's face he pulled his hand away.

Now that he's seen the vision, he says he couldn't have done anything differently.

 

[scottywiper]

The tribunal ruled JZ had alternatives...

17:28

Nathan Schmook:
Andrew Woods now summarising AFL case.

Nathan Schmook:
We're going through the initial push from Petrie, who says he realised it was Lake's face he was pushing, but he had no other option.

He could have tried to argue that he felt something, and thought it was Lake's arse. Let them prove otherwise.

 

[Roobound]

17:29

Nathan Schmook:
Open to the jury to find Petrie was acting in self defence. That would be exceptional and compelling circumstances.

 

[Roobound]

17:30

Nathan Schmook:
Petrie's counsel says the benefit of the doubt should go to Petrie, who was "effectively under attack".

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Is the AFl pushing for them to let Drew off? Sounds like it so far.

 

[Event Horizon]

Drew needed to be stronger in arguing that he was in a position where NO OPTIONS were available to him. He was in a headlock.

 

[Roobound]

17:31

Nathan Schmook:
"The law of the land doesn't stop at the white line … so a player is still entitled to defend themselves."

 

[Devington]

Nathan Schmook:
Again, Petrie asking for a reprimand with no carryover points.

Nathan Schmook:
Petrie's camp sys this is a case of self defence, not provocation.

Again, Petrie asking for a reprimand with no carryover points.

I didn't know this was possible.

Nathan Schmook:
Petrie's camp shown photo
They say they have never seen the man known as jack Ziebell

 

[Devington]

Well, suspicions (hopes) so far looking correct. Wanted to force drew to defend himself in the tribunal, then take away retaliation as a defence from lake.

 

[Devington]

I didn't know this was possible.

I've never considered it, but I suppose a reprimand is an actual thing, like a formal letter of naughtiness or somesuch.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Apparently if drew found guilty will still cop a full 125

 

[Roobound]

17:35

Nathan Schmook:
If the jury doesn't find there are exceptional and compelling circumstances, it looks like Petrie will get 125 points.

 

[Roobound]

17:36

Nathan Schmook:
Chairman Ross Howie now summarising for the jury.

 

[Roobound]

17:37

Nathan Schmook:
Key for the jury to consider is whether Petrie had cause to defend himself.

17:38

Nathan Schmook:
Remember this all relates to his grab to Lake's face BEFORE the choker hold.

 

[Event Horizon]

Nathan Schmook:
If the jury doesn't find there are exceptional and compelling circumstances, it looks like Petrie will get 125 points.

Which will mean a week, and points remain, which is the worst possible outcome. If the club knew this was a possibility, I maintain we shouldn't have challenged.
