Gil: Chrisso got it wrong but we can't say that.

Hocking: He ****s up all the time. Why can't we just sack him?

Gil: Can't afford it. Need the money to pay for our Christmas in July function.

Hocking: What do we do then?

Gil: .....

Hocking: Change the rules again?

Gil: You're a genius, Stevo!

I mean, I can't stand the guy but he doesn't really stuff up - except insofar as he clearly doesn't formally check in each morning and ask the AFL hierarchy what penalty they'd deem appropriate for each case. That way they wouldn't have to correct it afterwards all the time. They refuse to acknowledge that not allowing precedent makes them vulnerable - their control is an illusion.

The rules are impossible to make black and white judgements and the AFL don't want black and white judgements. He's on a hiding to nothing.

Gil: Schedule a bye. Polo match at 10AM down at Portsea and retire for drinkies at the chalet up on Buffalo after dinner.

Hocking: Change the rules again?

Gil: Sorry - I lost track of the conversation when you suggested the polo match.

FIFY

Any Dangerous Tackle.

Written like they expect Byron or Lindsay to pull on a jumper again.

He kinda does. This is the procedure for determining a reportable offence:

"Following review of each report or referral, the MRO in conjunction with the AFL General Manager – Football Operations will determine whether the Player is to be charged with a Reportable Offence and, if so, the appropriate type of Reportable Offence. " (my bolding)

You could easily argue that a tackle that slings is "intentional" by definition, in the same way that any bump was deemed so a few years ago. I don't disagree there are systemic issues but I think they're by design - ie. the AFL want the system to be flexible for them rather than an impartial system.

you could, but they’ve never rated a tackle intentional.

Absolutely, I was being somewhat facetious. I've always found it odd how often he's generated the "wrong" result given that structure.

 

[Only Forwards]

Willing to bet we're on the end of the testing out of this rule change.

Zurhaar 2 weeks for that hairdo.

Also that tackle rule change is clear as mud.

Seems like a simpler way to engineer results

It’s the AFL down to a T.

Rules change to allow engineered outcomes.

Like the HTB rule.

Soft as all get out. Shades of De Boer hanging on well after the play. That should be a 50m penalty to Jy.

Using Kayne Turner.

Using Kayne Turner.

Can we see footage of when Turner hit Shiels?

None available but have this report:

Kayne Turner has accepted a $3000 fine for striking Essendon’s Dylan Shiel.
The initial sanction was $5000, but was reduced following an early guilty plea.
Turner made high contact with the Dons’ midfielder during a high pressure affair at Marvel Stadium on Saturday evening. After the collision, Shiel made it back to his feet and was able to continue playing.
The MRO’s finding means Turner will be available to play against the Lions on Saturday night at The Gabba.

A grand to smack Whitfield... I think that's not bad value for money.

 

[Samsquanch]

To be honest, i heard Gov interviewed on TV last night. After hearing him speak i was convinced that he could have legitimately punched some bloke in the face without realizing he did it at the time.

 

[giantroo]

How many weeks?

 

[Devington]

Lachie half heartedly went for the ball almost side on and pretty much lined himself up for that hit. What reasonable alternative to contest did Naughton have, he kept going for the ball and braced for contact.
