Load of crap. AFL just don’t want to admit their precious Michael Christian was wrong.

Worth a shot but to be fair probably deserved a week for it, can’t go around elbowing blokes in the head.

Someone should call them out on the MRP and Tribunal being a revenue stream. No one is going to get off on appeal. It’s a freaking joke.
Having said that I thought Jack, Jack Graham that is deserved his week.
Still a joke though!

The Houli effect like i said earlier, gun shy because of the AFL appealing last year. All clubs and players should just accept the ban and move on.

Tovey put up a poor case in arguing a striking charge with the rfc using pressure on their opponents as his defence argument. lol he’s a tool.
It had to be argued as accidental, non malicious based on player health afterwards and non intentional or reckless . Anyway the entertainment was fun whilst it lasted. I hope we don’t use that tool again. Xxxxwit.

So the chairman said Graham didn't have to have an intention to strike him in the head but just to strike him.
Thought the charge was intentional.
Weird.

Collingwood flog so a given.
Definitely should've been based on the injury, drawn on the overwhelming weight of evidence that the MRP suspends players based on outcome rather than intent. Only gripe for mine, missed out on a golden opportunity to genuinely make the AFL look like the pack of tools they are.

Bummer
And we should've argued he didn't intend to injure Zorko. He doesn't make mistakes so if he had that intent, he definitely would've injured him.

Think we argued all the above. Chairman advised jury intention didn't come into it. Welcome to bruise free footy.
Got no issues with it really, Jack did the wrong thing, it was in the head, he misses a week.
I still don't understand how you can get a week for not hurting a player in a contest....
Love how the charge is “intentional” but intentionality doesn’t come into it. Ridiculous.

The pressure shit was a laugh and destroyed their argument. Tovey should have advised them to save the 10k and stay home bc with that argument he was clutching at straws.
We had no chance of winning it from the start so in the end the whole thing looked stupid .It reminded me of the arguments the Moreland City Council put up at VCAT.
“Although the parking is adequate and complies it’s still a bit restrictive. “
If you don't hurt them the fine is adequate.

Same reason why that Irish bloke got 3 weeks for bitting. He didnt hurt anyone but some acts are just low while others are even lower.
Sometimes you gotta pay the price for the attack and not the outcome of the attack.
Bumps are a part of footy and if someone gets hurt if its fare and legal so be it.
Bighting is not a part of footy.
Elbowing people at the back of the heas is not a part of footy. No one got hurt but both are low acts and should be stamped out along with jumper punches and kneeing people in the back after they take a mark.
Foggarty needs to be rubbed out for this act hes done it a few times now.
Sandilands flattened a bloke few weeks back lined the player up and near on knocked him out and got a fine , this is what’s wrong they think putting a stupid campaigner like Christian in charge would fix things , hilarious.
