Good to hearYeah...joke of a suspension.
Glad the Giants are challenging - hope he gets off.
Could your club perhaps lend its lawyers to the righteous cause?!

Well, last year Carlton had to go to appeal for Cripps, and that wasn't even a bump.except lets be honest here, if that was a star player in a big club he would be playing.
Good to hear

The problem being that the key price of evidence used in the hearing was a still photo, that no one has seen, that allegedly showed fishers head making a whiplash movement into Bedford. I donāt think that can be classed as high contact of you get someone shoulder to shoulder or shoulder to chest and the other players head whiplashes forward.There's a difference between 'deserving' a suspension, and it being a suspension under the current rules.
He chose to bump. If he got him high (surely this is the only point of debate?) then it's a suspension.
Then there's the fact that the whole system is a farce, and Micheal Christian is incompetent at best.
Hope he gets to play.
How is this Laura Kane's fault FFS ?
Not even sure if she has started her new promoted role at the AFL yet anyway
Normally I am a fan of your opinions Harry, but you are better than this arguably sexist pot-shot.
We have had issues/problems with The MRP and Tribunal for several years now.

Or they see that it wasnāt an actionable offenceHa .... hilarious all the non St Kilda desperados screaming for Bedford to get off ..... no doubt if the Bedford decision was impacting your team you would be screaming the other way that he should stay suspended
Nope & nope.It was a bump ..... he got him high ..... high and severe enough that Fisher had to go undergo a concussion test
Lol you at the 1st person of any club or media that has said he should be charged.The only disgrace here is that GWS are allowed to appeal the decision twice and if he does get off on some crapshite technicality then surely it proves the system is truly broken
He's been found guilty twiceOr they see that it wasnāt an actionable offence
Nope & nope.
Lol you at the 1st person of any club or media that has said he should be charged.
Gws/Bedford didn't argue at the tribunal that it wasn't a bump. First line of the tribunals explanation is "no dispute that Bedford bumped Fisher".Or they see that it wasnāt an actionable offence
Nope & nope.

What is in dispute is the force/location of contact. Are you deliberately trying to misunderstand whatās being argued?Gws/Bedford didn't argue at the tribunal that it wasn't a bump. First line of the tribunals explanation is "no dispute that Bedford bumped Fisher".
It was a bump.

Unless "not an actionable offence" means something other than "not a bump" (and "nope" now means "yup") I think you may be the one who misunderstood.
But the bump did get him high ...... high enough that Fisher went for a concussion test and high enough that he has been found guilty twice
If he gets off its a disgrace and shows the AFL is corrupt ..... though I think we know that already with extremely questionable tribunal decisions in favor of big name players and favored teams
Or there was the suspicion that there might have been head contact and laudably, with an abundance of caution, the Carlton medical team assessed Fisher for concussion due to the current environment surrounding HIA and scat tests.But the bump did get him high ...... high enough that Fisher went for a concussion test and high enough that he has been found guilty twice
