Berry on Oliver

[Snarls Barkley]

Think this will be going to appeal

coaches votes winner golden child brat vs queenslander nobody

we should really just learn our place

what a comment this is, dodgy score review system says otherwise

 

[Hollow Knight]

Deserves it, you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise

No one takes you seriously.

 

[mumblingpie]

Damn it

any other comments you want to make or have you finished the village idiot routine for today

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Cripps hits a bloke in the head who wasn’t looking, made him vomit and miss 2 weeks due to concussion. Yet Berry gets a week for a brush against the face of a bloke who’s choking him. Well done VFL.

Match Review: Lions midfielder learns fate for Oliver contact

Brisbane's Jarrod Berry was offered a one-match ban for making unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region of Clayton Oliver

We 100% challenge this, they cant class that as intentional.

 

[Fitzey]

Just send it to the goal review system boys, you’ll probably get a premiership doing that and Berry will win the brownlow

General consensus in this thread is that he shouldn't be suspended, is it possible you're looking at it with a slight tinge of bias?

What did Petty get for his contact to Zorkos face?

I could be, but can you eye gouge someone now? Looked fairly deliberate to me. Accidental and it’s fair enough but he was pretty keen to get the eye.

Oh the VFL

Wonder if the AFL will come out and explain why Berry wasn’t given a free for high contact. If they paid a free Berry wouldn’t have had to fight Oliver off.

 

[STPer18]

Appeal. The intentional grading is profoundly debatable.

Also show up with a montage of Selwood gouges that were uncited.

We'll use the Selwood defense, it'll be fine.

I'm no lawyer but I don't think that'll satisfy the tribunal.

Omg a week for that. During finals.

Definitely should get the KCs onto that one.

It might if this guy is the lawyer.

 

[CheapCharlie]

Id be fine with a week for that if Oliver got 2-3 weeks for his arm to the throat

Oh the VFL

Days since their last finals win at the MCG:

Brisbane - 1
Melbourne - 1457

That sounds like a good idea

I remember being non-relevant in finals and trying to salvage some pitiful modicum of emotional catharsis through opposition suspensions.

Sad times.

More to the point, when was the last
time a player got suspended for eye gouging? Shit culture

That’s basically part of every standard arvo at the pub, Mother’s Day brunch and Sunday Catholic mass for Steven May.

Rayner sling tackle 2.0

Was it really intentional? No, let's be real. To the letter of the law, is it a week? Yeah, unfortunately.

Lions will take it to the tribunal though but I don't see him getting off.
