Campbell Brown Fined $15,000

[rdhopkins2]

Heil Vlad, master of AFL universe. You should all know better than to break the rules...severe punishment will be imposed...

FFS how silly is the game becomming. From now on victims giving evidence at tribunal: ''No comment''.

What else is next?

 

[Blues_Man]

A fool and their money are soon parted .

Who opened their big fat mouth on National telivision and dobbed themselves in ???

He should have been fined more for being such a moron .

 

[vanders]

If Campbell Brown is a 'filthy liar' as some of you have said, and you also mention that you'll never believe a word he says ever again, why is it, that you believe him when he said On The Couch that he lied? How do you know he wasn't lying then too?

$15k is harsh, but it was a stupid thing to say on National TV. Get a $400 fine for hitting a guy while riding your bike, and the guy dies, and get a $15k fine for lying at the AFL tribunal

Harsh, deserved a fine but not THAT much

 

[greennick]

Feel sorry for Browny. He just got conned into opening his mouth on OTC by the relaxed atmosphere. Shame he opened his mouth.

To the fools that think the tribunal can be reopened. How would that work? What if info like this came out right before the finals? Would you suspend a player for the finals? That would hardly be fair I would think. That is not a workable model and reeks of bias. Either you are really stupid or just want to see some punishement dealt out on Judd in response.

15k is a bit harsh. I would have thought around 5k would be about right. Maybe Judd should go halves with him?

 

[smasha]

an absolute disgrace
Demetrio is a dead set joke and so is his buddy Andrian Anderson. Two of the worst things to ever happen to the game

x2.

 

[smasha]

I don't know how it got to Brown in the first place.

You can see the gouging on video as clear as day.

Why he had to be asked in the first place is ****ing ridiculous.

Feel sorry for Brown.

What a joke the tribunal is.


AFL = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[GoldenSky]

Didn't at the time Judd complain that Brown had made it all up and played up for a free kick? Seems that was not the case.

 

[mrbehemoth]

So Chick gets off scot-free for lying to try get a player suspended but Brown gets fined for lying to get a player off.

Well, we now know where the AFL's priorities lie when it comes to the tribunal. Feel free to make up stories to try get a player suspended but don't dare do the honourable thing and try to get someone off.

They should definitely go for Chick as well.

I don't consider lying to the tribunal to be honourable, though.

Victims don't have to give evidence at the tribunal at all. Brown could have stayed away entirely - he made a deliberate decision to put his hand up and lie.

 

[toomanysquibs]

Had no reason at all to say what he did except to pat himself on the back.

Short memory, Judd was hardly appreciative in his commentry after getting away with an unintentional, but very much suspendable eye gouging....

It ever occur to you that CB might have an axe to grind there? Didn't think so, that would require independant critical thought.

Need to explain this to TEF

 

[rdhopkins2]

Memo victims: Don't bother attending the AFL tribunal. Just let them toss a coin for innocent/guilty and roll a dice for the no of weeks...or maybe just pick it out of a hat?

Just goes to show the advantages of being an eagle in this league.

Judd eye gouges - gets off , the victim actually ends up penalised.
Chick lies and brings someone up at the tribunal on rubbish - no penalty.

All a bit strange.

 

[worthy]

Here's a $15,000 fine to go with your poke in the eye.

Brown must have run over a Chinaman to get that schit luck.


Lie and get a player off - Fined
Tell the truth and the tribunal wouldn't have believed him anyway, Judd would have got off and Brown would have been labelled a "squealer", no win situation for Brown.
Seems it doesn't pay to get a poke in the eye from Juddy.

Not really strange, the AFL has their favourites, and West Coast is one of them. The Hawks are not .. simple as that really.

I don't think the AFL have ever forgiven Hawthorn for making them look stupid when they said we couldn't survive on our own in 1996 and wanted us out of the competition.

Didn't we also delist Andy D as a player?

Unfortunately, Brownie had to be fined in some way by the AFL as they can't have players admitting that they lied at the tribunal - very bad precedent. Even though we all know that it happens all the time and will happen for as long as the players are turned into robots.

$15k on the other hand is steep when you look at what happened with other issues that look bad for the AFL. Kerr caught on tape talking on the phone with a drug dealer about having taken drugs? If Brown cops $15k for his error, then Kerr should have copped double or triple that. What did he cop?

He had to apologize to some pretty pissed off horses for taking their gear.

Summary of the Brown case...

Judd eye gouges Brown whether intentional or not is unknown but footage shows finger in the eye and Brown reacts

Judd sent before the tribunal

Coach and WCE start saying what a "good sport" Judd is and would never do that

Punters go into meltdown as Brownlow favourite may be rubbed out

AFL worried about image of the game as they do not want one of their marquee players labelled an eye gouger.

Brown feeling the weight of everyone expectations lies to the tribunal because as he said in his words "everyone wanted him to get off"

AFL, everyone happy with the result

Judd texts Brown a thanks note and then precedes to questions Browns integrity in the media saying that he "played it up"

Robot eagle supporters trash Brown reputation (yet later complain about Braun)

Brown is now pissed off that Judd has turned him into the ass-hole when he has done the right thing by Judd. He waits his time to tell the truth.

When he's asked in the media if he lied he says yes meaning Judd did eye gouge him. Jokes that next time he plays Judd he should wear an eye patch.

AFL worried about how this message looks scamble to fine Brown. The messenger is sanctioned and the eye gouger walks free.


No matter how you look at this Judd is a shit head and the AFL are a bunch of w***ers. Very disappointing.

 

[Yashek]

The thing I don't understand - and if someone could fill me in, that'd be great - is why Judd gets off scot free. If the AFL now believes the circumstances of the case have changed, shouldn't Judd's eye gouging case be re-opened? Or is there a by law that prevents this from happening?

Section 5:3:2
In the event a WC player does the wrong thing the AFL will look the other way, should forces compell the AFL to act, the AFL will be seen to act without actually doing anything.

Section 5:3:3
Chris Judd can do no wrong, if any such player causes Chris Judds reputation to be tarnished, whether justified or not, they shall bare the full wrath of the AFL.

Section 5:3:4
All other teams are fcucked and will have their asses fined should they transgress sections 5:3:2 or 5:3:3

Hypocritical robot lazy, who cant even string a convincing argument together, seizes yet another opportunity to continue his hatred obsession with the Eagles. His energy might be better spent focussing on supporting his own team...

LOL - example #54 of robot eagle supporter who "knows" that the eye gouge was not intentional.
