Bedford suspension

[HairyO]

GWS' own witness, the biomechanist;

View attachment 1796005

"Impact to the head likely occurred"

Gws don't deserve this over turned, they admitted it was a bump, then one of their own witnesses said it was probably high

Morons

So we convict people based on maybes.

Unless its a Swans player probably.

Unless its a Swans player probably.

GWS introduced the biomechanists report though. The one that said he was probably guilty.

Pretty easy to convict when your own evidence admits guilt lol

Stay salty though

Yes, when comprehension is a challenge. Which seems to happen often for you given you always toe the AFL line unless its a Swans player in trouble.

They are saying the tribunal couldnt draw a conclusion from the vision. Meaning use the actual evidence of no damage done and a player saying they dont think their head was hit and their club doctors doing a concussion based on caution not based on knowledge of damage done.

And Toby is free to play

And the Appeals Board agreed that the Tribunal were wrong. Like some #### in this thread!

 

[Giant Pete]

a) chose to bump
b) got him high

Dunno why GWS thought bringing a biomechanist in to argue that "yes there was probably high contact but the bulk of the force was to shoulder" was the right play. AFL have been pretty consistent on banning any head high bumps (with a few exceptions of genuine accidents while attacking the ball "reasonably").

Dunno what angle they'll bring to the appeal. Very first line of the reasoning is;

Tribunal reasons:

It is not disputed Toby Bedford bumped Zac Fisher.

Suck shit

Where’s Maddo?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Congrats to Bedders and Giants fans.

Justice prevails !!!

 

[Chism]

Was a nothing hit and glad he got off. Sanity prevails for once. Fisher even said the contact was not high.

 

[beside the seaside]

Feel for him that he has had to wait this long. Should have been sorted a week ago

 

[Maddo11]

Where’s Maddo?

Went to the park with my kid
What did I miss?

At least we won't have the same 5 giants fans in every thread whinging about how hard done by Bedford is like Hawks/ Sicily

And the Appeals Board found exactly what I said.

The Tribunal couldnt draw their conclusion based only on the video and there was no other evidence to back their finding.

Common sense shouldnt take 3 separate groups to arrive. The AFL really have to look at themselves and come up with a proper system, not the farce they have currently.

Must feel good to be so wrong mate. The appeals board only said what I said to you lmao.

 

[precarious]

Part of me thinks this is all purposely choreographed - he gets cited, suspended, Giants appeal it, he then gets off, all the whilke having ther footy media and fans talking about it during ther pre-finals bye period.

You may have nailed it here.

 

[Antzzz]

Sanity prevails....
