Now Charlie Cameron has been racially vilified. 4 players from 3 clubs in less than 24 hours! Bloody ridiculous

What a coincidence..the 2 players who get off their charges just happen to be Richmond and Carlton players...both appealed at the tribunal and both won and both players hit the heads of their opponents and Lynch left his opponent concussed...where was the 'potential to cause injury' penalty factor there??

My word, its one rule for us and another for the big Vic clubs and all within the very same competition. Said it before and I will say it again, Silvers should be on the phone to Gil giving him the biggest serve over this and making the point that should we get victimised again at the tribunal for stuff they would never wipe out the vic boys for, our legal team will be going the injunction route rather than wasting time at the tribunal


Lynch gets off as well!​

Tom Lynch has also had his case dismissed by the Tribunal.

Chairman Jeff Gleeson said Lynch intended to fly for the mark and once he realised he misjudged it, kept his eyes on the ball and then braced for contact.

"He did not bump and he did not engage in rough conduct," Gleeson said.

Lynch off and McKay off – what a night for the power forwards.

Full story on AFL.com.au shortly.

I fully agree with the lynch decision.
 
I fully agree with the lynch decision.
I don't..not after what they did to McAdam and by extension us. why should we get the rank bad decision and the vic clubs get the free pass.. I'd rather McAdam had got off, then I'd be much more sympathetic to vic club players hitting opposition player heads and causing concussion and getting away with it

I’m purely looking at it as what happened not comparing it to other suspensions.
Anything compared to Mcadams will look ridiculous.

I just don't think the AFL should be able to look at the other decisions without the McAdam decision regardless of whether they consider precedent or not. They made an example of the least bad bump that round and we lost r best medium forward for 3 weeks. So nah, I want any indiscretion by the vic boys to be treated as harshly as we were treated as thats fair..not what we saw tonight regardless

2 wrongs don’t make a right.
They completely stuff up with Mcadams incident.
Let’s get things back on track.

Could be the same person, using burner Social Media accounts.

They need to stop reporting these.

Did not look at all happy

Clubs should get the benefit of a cooling off period based on the player’s reaction to getting drafted
After/During Draft Trade Period where clubs and players can agree to swap to another club on the day for picks or player

The AFC draft McAsey - listen Hamish I dont want to move
ok son leave it with me - hey SoS - want a KPD? we take your next 2 picks?
 
Every incident, regardless of what the offence is, can be referred to tribunal if the statutory penalty is deemed to be potentially inappropriate
I would have thought that if the offence is classified correctly in the first place, then that determines the penalty. The MRO can't just classify it upwards (to the tribunal) because they think the penalty should be higher. That's supposed to be the point of the classification system.

If the MRO is sending players to the tribunal because they "think" the penalty should be higher, they're just asking for an appeal.
