MRP / Trib. 2023 MRP Lotto

[muttley45]

Pretty safe bet Andrews will get downgraded from intentional to careless, and thus a fine only, despite the "a raised elbow is considered deliberate" guideline.

Or the apology he is owed based on Robbo's drunken prose, stating that at any moment Larkey might have turned around and smashed his teeth down his throat, so it was simply a case of Andrews being proactive with his self defence.

Predictory self defence.

Larkey ran in and charged Andrews fist with his throat.

His counsel must be on the gold coast suns gear if he expects that defense to work.

 

[North11]

"Collision initiated by Larkey"

Cop that's flogs, he can enjoy the week off.

 

[Devington]

Borderline tbh. I'd be shitty if it was one of our defenders who went for that, given identical circumstances.

End of the day though he got him in the throat behind play *shrug*.

 

[Devington]

Have to also admit I find it a bit incredulous they didn't allow the defence to give the tribunal Larkey's written testimony.
Can't have the the victim describe how the impact felt to them, but other blokes can have the PM and a dozen other people say how much of a good person they are?

 

[GeordieRoo]

Hahahaha cue the Lions tears.

If only he’d spat at someone, or pinched at an opponents leg surgery scar he’d be free to play.

Excuse for my intrusion but nah not crying. Andrews is not a brownlow favourite or brownlow medalist so he had no chance. What players like ablett and fyfe have got away with this year and andrews suspended it is very mind boggling i must admit. Very confusing what christian came up with but no tears here

Crazy how the actual grub gets off with a fine and the incident that's fairly innocuous gets a week.

Larkey's teeth 'clattered': Star Lion still banned after Tribunal challenge fails - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-07-23/guilty-lions-challenge-fails-at-the-tribunal

 

[SpiderBurton22]

What a head.

He dobbed himself in when he said he could hear Larkey's teeth chatter after the hit.

Shut your mouth and say there was insufficient force. Larkey couldn't deny that as he was not allowed to testify.

 

[hilly]

'I heard his teeth clatter' terrific defence.

Excuse for my opinion but i don't think it would have mattered what Harris said or didn't. He was getting suspended no matter what when Larkey was not allowed to voice his opinion. After what happened on the weekend with the AFL admitting wrong decision you can bet your bottom dollar he was getting a week even though IMO Ablett and Fyfe's actions were if not the same at least or worse.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Slobbo will be upset coz Larkey was charging at Andrews like a rhino and no other choice than defend himself

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What a stupid defense.

They went in for a "free" shot and had nothing to back it up, they were just hoping for the best.

 

[tazaa]

Terrible defence

 

[muttley45]

Terrible defence

Spot on tazaa, comically poor

[giantroo]

Comical. Hahahaha, still makes me laugh. Fighting a high charge, admits he hit him high.

Was waiting for Robbo to rip off his shirt and reveal a lions guernsey while watching that.
