Contesting the striking charge...Jack Graham that is.

#NoGrahamNoRichmond

When Dusty had that godfather offer from Norf in front of him, the only thing getting me through those long cold nights was my picture of Jack Graham

 

[TigerImposter]

I actually thought he did well given he forced the chairman to advise the jury that intention played no part. It opens a Pandora's box and goes against the original charge of intentional.

Personally I'm ok with Graham getting a week but the Tribunal was a bit wacky.

Agree , but it was still a low act hit which was the worry. Intention or not they couldn’t escape the hit. Adding the pressure argument was trying to convince the jury that pressure can’t hurt you . Anyway I hope they don’t use the clown again and in future are better informed on their realistic odds of winning.

Dusty - bull, surname that is a given name, guilty at the tribunal early in his career for a high hit against an interstate player, fast forward seven years and...

It will come to pass.

Seems like everyone is in here so i thought i would remind everyone that Open Mike tonight on Fox 8.30 is about Merv Keane .
Mike has said it was his most emotional interview he has done .

yes, and the crap from the coroners court needs a mention

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.

and numbnuts tex, wondering where fog learnt it?

Just between you and me low act or not the charge was intentional and in that I didn't think that was proven especially when taken out of consideration by the chairman. This is nit picking by me. As I said 1 week is fine. Just flummoxed that the chairman out rules intentional for an intentional charge.

FFS, EVERYBODY knows that the spoiler is NOT going for the ball either.......

Not saying I dont agree but at least the ball is there.
Lets face if it was one of our own we would want blood.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

conca was the same as graham. people went full re **** on that one. conca got 3 weeks? graham lucky he hit zorko and not dangerfield, would have got 12 weeks

Didnt Conca run him down as they were going off? That was hilarious.

 

[17Dream]

Anyway it is all over now.
Quickly forgotten.
Should never have proceeded with the appeal.
It always looks worse when the ball is not in dispute.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Imo you should get extra leniency when tackling short people

Sandi did

 

[Nostradumbass]

A rest will do him good.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

A rest will do him good.

I agree there is no need to burn him out so early in the season. It's easy to forget he is only starting his career given the impact he has had.
Broad to come in.

 

[mad_doggy911]

Did that ****wit Fagorty get sighted for that coward hit on Caddys kidneys in Adelaide?

 

[Boston tiger]

Nice touch by the club .. backing him up like that. That’s how you treat your life members

 

[Tony Harrison]

Only appealed to get his attendance average back up.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Jack never had a chance.
Look at the 3 Tribunal members.

yeah smith shat himself and ran away so conca chased him down and “coward punched” him lmao

Get it right Reecey professionally elbowed smith...

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Has as much chance getting off this as Carlton does of winning the flag this year centuary

.

Can you believe he kicked 3 goals in the Grand Final? Jack Graham, that is.

Phew.Not on top of the list.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

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

Should have stuck to umpire adviser.

 

[Nobby]

Amazed it wasn't a fine given he got straight up, but not surprised we cop it worse and logic is ignored in the tribunal.

Week off will be good for him, still a young body.

 

[juss]

Not sure how people are defending this. He elbowed a bloke in the back of the head.
Sure it was low impact and nothing came from it, but you should punish the act, not the result. I've got no issue with him copping a week for it, it's not an act I want to see our players do on the field.

Play the ball hard, play the man hard, but if you're going to play the man hard, at least try and do it legally. An elbow/forearm to the head has no justification.
