Koschitzke? A champion!The Fireman said:good to see all the champions on the ball park
pazza said:Only appealed the striking charge as I understand it. So the only cost would be $4800 out of his weekly salary in the end.

CorrectFred said:Source was ABC radio. Didn't he only appeal the striking charge?
He isn't a champion and has to prove himself over a longer period to get that accolade.Bellablaise said:Yep. In the mould of a darker Riewoldt.

Exactly my point....unless it's BuckleyEagles4Ever said:This is good news. It's good to have the best players out there playing when there is so much at stake.
There's just no consistency.The Fireman said:His hit was deemed not hard enough to be reportable, the fact that it was low was bad luck as opposed to intentional.
As I have stated in an earlier post, it seems the tribunal is learning on it's feet, for instance at the start of the year they gave Gherig 2 for his love tap , fought it and got 1, after the media and public battering they received they have gone soft on that charge. Notice how the tribunal is changing weekly like a chameleon and continually tuning their penalties and charges making Guinea Pigs out of the players.Gunnar Longshanks said:There's just no consistency.
This tribunal is a joke. In isolation, I'm happy to see Koschitzke get off, but in comparison to some other incidents this year, it doesn't make sense.
Gardiner, Matera and Gehrig all got rubbed out for love taps. Did they hit guys with significantly more force than Koschitzke?
I don't reckon players should get rubbed out unless their actions have the potential to injure a player or take him out of the game for a period.
Everything else is a matter of a free kick, not a week on the dielines.
What's the point of rubbing a guy out for innocuous little incidents that don't hurt anyone?
Not the Collingwood players. They are lab ratsThe Fireman said:Notice how the tribunal is changing weekly like a chameleon and continually tuning their penalties and charges making Guinea Pigs out of the players.
And just think back to Curley/Fletcher/Matera/Everitt who all missed games for umpire contact, so this aint a new phenomenon.The Fireman said:As I have stated in an earlier post, it seems the tribunal is learning on it's feet...and continually tuning their penalties and charges making Guinea Pigs out of the players.

The more the tribunal learns, the more it forgets.
