Reckon the public deserves to know how jury members vote.

The Golden Girls episode where Blanche was mean, Maude was a tramp and Betty just did something stupid started. They need to finish that.
(I have literally watched ten minutes of that show in my lifetime. I cannot believe I remember the names of three characters.)
It really should be 0 weeks. The AFL tribunal is a joke to the actual legal system. It shouldn’t be up to Sicily to determine his innocence, but up to the tribunal to prove his guilt. Last weeks hearing, where they were dismissing witnesses ect proves that it was a head hunt, and they were prejudiced in their decision.
Probs on the phone to Gill and the afls pr team.
probably having a bite to eat, some caviar and fine wine supplied by the AFL rules Committee. Nice change from the bickies and cheeese and goon bag fruity lexia they are normally served.

Unfortunately you would be correct - the Mansell 'decision' took 40 minutes but it was obvious the decision going in was what was coming out regardless of any argument. We will see the same thing here I'm afraid. They might drag it out to 45 minutes to make sure we know they really thought about it. Pfffft.

Yeah maybe I was being a little too hopeful.... This is the AFL. Now back to your regular drudgery.
I don't understand how it got to 3 weeks when every other tackle has been 1 or 2.

They’re perusing the menu at Vue du Monde. That’s where Hawthorn’s appeal fee will go.

The outcome did, but the action didn't. That's the only reason I'm frustrated by the entire thing. Because it means accidents can be ruled as worse than intent to hurt.

Hmm... "But the arms weren't pinned." "I'll leave it at that."
Is the AFL going to summon the courage to defend injuries happening in an inherently risky activity? No, cannot be. There's no courage in AFL House.

Doesn't pin the arms.
We get an expert to prove the excessive force wasn't controllable by Sicily due to Brockman's interference.
Watch it be 3 weeks still.
