Licuria gets off!

It was a good decision. The AFL should not suspend players for that type of trip. I believe a player should only be suspended when there is force in a trip, ie. a kick. The most that should happen is a free kick. I hope the tribunal keeps up the conistency with this, and only suspends players that kick players in the trip.
Joel I didn't hear you complaining about Kosis penalty? There are some real hypocritical barstards on here.

i can definitely tell that the pie's fans are loving this, and so they should. licuria gets off while kosi scores a week for a seemingly carbon copy act.

i'd have to say that collingwood have the best defence team when it comes to the tribunal. they are the most organised, the most professional and also the smartest - and they'd have to thank ed for that.

if a pies player does get suspended then more often than not he would've got more weeks if he was at another club (i think that makes sense). it's not money talks or favouratism, it's that the defence team is bloody good.

well done collingwood.

Agreed... Holland/Williams is another example.

Nonetheless, if Kositzche (sp?) got a week for what looked to be an almost identical indisgression, then Licuria should consider himself, well... perhaps not lucky, but at the very least he's done well.

Don't think either the Licuria incident or Kositzche's incident warranted suspension.

Simple really - if your player gets off, it's a fair decision. If an opposition player does, it's a bad decision and he deserved life.

Whilst i agree, did you think Kosi deserved to be suspended?

yep, because that is the rule.
It just doesn't seem to be applied properly.
the rule itself is suss, but how can they possibly be so inconsistant?

just getting off the subject here check this rotten thing out and try and beat 313.9
you will all hate me for this and good.:p

St Kilda have been harshly dealt with season with regards to reports and suspensions. Some of us have had a whinge but most of us have copped it on the chin.

It is disheatening to see almost identical incidents being treated differently.

I'm sure all clubs' supporters would like to see consistency in the tribunal decisions and on what is reported.

The Licuria decision is evidence that we are not getting the consistency that we require. We lose faith in the system and respect for it. No wonder the umpires are abused.

The AFL must act. Get in an outside body to audit the decision-making process and make sure significant guidelines and structures are in place that the inconsistencies are minimalised.
No system is perfect but this one is fatally flawed.

Does anyone actually know how the tribunal operates? I mean, when a player has been charged with an offence, what sort of things do they look for in order to judge the alleged offender guilty?

I think it involves a dart board.....

No that involves skill, so I don't see the tribunal using it.

How about a super-duper quantum indeterminacy computer? Push a button and it comes up with guilty or not guilty. Let's just hope that it's not into dialetheism, or else we'll get guilty and not guilty, or neither guilty or not guilty.

Do you believe that there is a conspiracy against St. Kilda, or merely that Kosi was unlucky?

Dont be such an idiot.

You are confusing hypocritical with parochial.

I dont give a *** what happens to players on other teams.

Get a life or at least a dictionary.
 
Yeah fair enough, it didn't look like an intentional action to and I think he would have been a bit stiff to go, these things happen in the course of play. Ahh the tribunal always brings out the best in this site, the usual chorus of anti-Collingwood stuff, fans banging on about decisions that are long gone etc etc I think we can all just agree that the tribunal isn't perfect and never, ever will be and hell, I'm an Eagles man so I should be probably whinging and wining about Evil Eddie and his tribunal pay offs all night long.....:rolleyes:
