in the first quarter - with a grading of careless, low impact & high contact, he can take the early guilty plea & pay a fine of $2500

Nothing else came out of our game - so Messi is in the clear for throwing a shoe

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Stiff fine, great he can play next week

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Somehow I think this from from young Brayshaw is one that most people will have no issue agreeing with.
Absolutely spot on.

[calder_daddy]

Still think this an actual joke
If that’s striking there would be 10 players fined for it every round
Selwood and Hodge would be broke

 

[Hinkley29]

What incident was this? Please don’t tell me it was the one with Zac Williams

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

That is absurd. On what evidence? The video was extremely inconclusive and obviously no on field umpire saw it if they didn’t pay a free kick. Jesse Hogan

punched a bloke in the face and didn’t even get a fine. What on earth?

 

[cats_09]

Got it in one

 

[Spearman]

Well the 'victim' was rolling around like a soccer player, I guess it was outcome based.

Did Williams give testimony?

If it was all about written submissions, he probably only had to provide a sick note to ensure the charge was upheld.

Omfg

The tribunal does realise that it is MAY 1st not APRIL 1st right??? Right????

 

[4quarter_cat]

And they expect to be taken seriously as a body?

 

[Generalissimo]

And they expect to be taken seriously as a body?

That ship sailed years ago.

 

[Cataholic]

That ship sailed years ago.

Worse thing is they'll smugly continue sailing on, immune to the criticism, because there's nothing anyone can do. A law unto itself.

 

[Cattery]

And what's the outcome (suspension, fine?) can't find anything about it.

 

[Cattery]

Or is it all just BS? Just found it, a fine.

 

[standupand]

Or is it all just BS? Just found it, a fine.

$6520 fine. That's one expensive restaurant that Zac Williams owes O Henry a dinner date at one day.

 

[Spearman]

Worse thing is they'll smugly continue sailing on, immune to the criticism, because there's nothing anyone can do. A law unto itself.

I can go back in the time I've been reading this board, years before I joined, and the conversations and comments about the match reviews and they have not changed at all. It is still all about lack of consistency, and it has never improved. Whether by diabolical design or sheer incompetence, it still comes across as an absolute amateur shit show. It's not good enough for a professional national industry.

Their decisions have confused everyone for years. As you said, there's been no consistency at all.

Fans are becoming increasingly bewildered and disenchanted.

Everyone knows the importance of having a defined code of conduct, and enforcing it with consistency, when applying discipline. Yet they wax and wane with their applications of the law, and have no accountability for their consistency.

For the good of the game, the AFL must improve their governance in this aspect of the game, or it will become even more farcical than it already is.

 

[you pick one]

This is all self inflicted by the AFL how do they put the Genie back in the bottle that has how roamed free eating at the fabric of the game for years without burning the whole joint down and rebuilding from the ashes, tinkering around the edges won't get this right.

Gun Giant left sore after young Cat's late bump

Jhye Clark may have a potential MRO case to answer after this contact on Lachie Whitfield

Jhye Clark’s bump.

 

[OzeSparky]

Blicavs treads hot water collecting Whitfield late

Mark Blicavs may find himself in MRO trouble after this high contact on Lachie Whitfield

www.afl.com.au

Blicavs bump.

 

[Strange Cat]

Neither of the bumps got them got them in the head from memory ?

 

[OzeSparky]

Blicavs definitely got him high.

Side of Clarks head makes contact with Whitfields jaw.

 

[numbwombat]

Blicavs definitely got him high.

Side of Clarks head makes contact with Whitfields jaw.

Is there precedent for a head clash to lead to a suspension? It probably shouldn’t matter TBH but I wouldn’t be shocked with the AFL.

Blitz probably goes on that vision - could have just held his ground to block. Not great timing.
