Gee the amount of times Christian has given us games only to be overturned is embarrassing for the AFL, no?

(Defence is great tho)

Can we get him as a father/son

It would be kind if bizarro though if we ended up with the Campo twins this year and the son of the club's KC.

200 game player as well as free legal representation for the next decade....nice

He's fairly highly regarded. Seems to be 15 - 25 in most phantom drafts. Maybe if there is no early bid on Ben.

Because it wasn’t the AFL who gave the penalty, it was the “Independent” tribunal.
The AFL will just say we wanted it to be a suspension, it wasn’t us. Find someone else to sue, it’s not the AFL who’s negligent

What will matter in litigation is whether they made acts like that illegal generally, not what penalty was given in individual cases.

The AFL did a reasonable job of cracking down on this stuff as the understanding CTE became public/better known in the US. Players playing now are unlikely to have any real recourse to litigation. Just as the players who played before CTE became a thing won’t.

If the AFL changes the father/son bidding system this year that forces us to use our 1st round pick on Ben - when we had Harry O'Farrell in our sights - we probably need to find a good KC to challenge the AFL's ruling

Much embarrassment, AFL!!!!

KC best in town!

Oh god, could you even imagine our legal team going up against Laura - fully loaded with her 1 year and 9 month's legal experience under her belt.

Would be a biggest bloodbath since the Ottomans....

 

[NavySteel]

AFL argue that grading of medium was due to the "potential to cause injury"... I didn't know they could change the interpretation of their own grading system on the fly? Or maybe I'm just naive and silly.

I think we might get him as a father/son BH.

After all Peter O'Farrell will probably chalk up 100 games for Carlton…..in terms of avoiding games lost to frivolous MRO charges..

[sosos]

The opinion is a joke. They found that Mansell didn't duck. Really? What was that little dip of the head and shoulders just before Boyd made contact with him.

Apparently Mansell crouched down, not ducked. It was more of a duck than the mallard I saw quietly paddling about down at Coburg Lake this morning…

An absolute clown show, and after four hours they say he didnt duck??? Have they watched the footage?

It reminds me of the Demons being fined $500k for not tanking.

 

[Dramoth]

After reading Blue and Silver's explanation of the phrase "We do not make that finding", it would seem the Tribunal was trying to find a way to say:

• we don't want to talk about what Mansell did
• we don't want to throw the MRO (and AFL house) under the bus
• we don't think Boyd should miss a week for that

Personally, I think Mansell ducked, the MRO was wrong, and Boyd should never have been there. But I can also see how the umpire from his perspective on the ground, in the high speed of the game, thought Boyd got Mansell high. And, in the end, the Tribunal has done the best in a difficult situation.

That's why we need a video umpire to watch incidents like that. They would have all the camera views on their screen, and could see the Mansell duck. The side view was pretty good vision for what Mansell did.

 

[Dramoth]

Geez, this system is a mess at the moment. A lot of things getting dropped/downgraded at Tribunal.

I'm glad Boyd got off, but the whole thing is a huge mess.

The AFL commission is treating the sport like an entertainment business. They just see it as a way to give themselves millions in bonus cheques come the end of the year. If they treated as a sporting business, they think that their bonus cheques wouldn't be as large come the end of the year.

Isn’t that video vision available to Christian ?
