I'm still trying to understand how the leagues biggest sniper, Butters, is eligible for the Brownlow.
I think we're up to 7 separate fines totaling over $30k now.

Also regarding Kane, i'm going to drag out the old "have you ever played the game" line, as i think it's entirely appropriate that the Head of Football of the AFL has considerable experience actually playing the game at a reasonable level.

For her to comment on the physicality of the game is mindboggling.

Some players have evolved others are still at the Homo Neanderthalsis stage.

Looks like Dane Swan's face with Luke Dalhaus's early career hairdo...

There's no tunnelling rule, but there should be.

There never used to be a dangerous tackle rule either, what did thy suspend Larkey on when he got Lewis Young?

 

[Blue Pulse]

Yep.

On another note, I know that he's disliked but I think at times Christian has an almost impossible job in policing the rules based on the flavour of the month style mandates which come from the powers that be.
The funny thing is, given how many "lawyers" work for the AFL, how often their rules/adjudications get smoked on appeal & their belligerence at being made to look like amateurs.

I think that is half the problem, you've got all these lawyers setting laws in place to a sport with too many variables.

I feel the eye test by ex players would be more inline with the game. The doctors etc will still have their job to do, but intent to hurt is what needs to be removed from the game.

Dunno what they called it but tunneling isn't mentioned in the rules.

Call it tunnelling or whatever, but a dangerous tackle or bump is supposed to be penalised if it puts a player at risk during a game, and it`s just typical of the AFL with all the rules on the run that they bring in, as tunnelling was penalised big time a few years ago but it seems the latest "newbie rules" supersede the rules that used to be in vogue back then. There used to be more tunnelling going on back then I suppose, but that ump was a slack dog not paying a free in the circumstances as it was very dangerous!!!

I agree and the Kmart Nadal one was malicious. Knew exactly what he was doing.

I would assess it as an intentional bump that caused high contact (with the ground much like a sling tackle) with the potential to cause damage - 2-3 weeks

Zita at his best

"During the podcast, in which the comments have since been removed, Green made a number of comments in relation to the AFL MRO and AFL Tribunal process and members.

These included the following words (or similar) - that the Match Review Officer and/or the AFL Tribunal is “a disgrace” and is “ruining the game”.

Green was sent a please explain and he unreservedly apologised for the comments and acknowledged poor judgment on his behalf, with his actions falling below the standards of conduct expected by the GWS Giants and the AFL.

Green has been given a formal reprimand without further sanction."

Green definitely took one for the team on behalf of the AFL community....it's a bit like when Scarlett punched Ballantyne in the choppers....

 

[jj1978]

Shows the AFL definitely aint a democracy or has freedom of speech written into their constitution. Funny how players who see or say what the general public see and say can't question fairly their point of view and must tow the line or else.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Should have taken the fine after telling the AFL to GAGF and then crowdfunded it.

Would have made a mint!!!

I agree completely just find it amusing how often their rules/amendments have loopholes.
If you're going to take the approach that they have, you have to make sure the rules are watertight before implementing them.
