Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

He changed his jumper in the off season

I haven't seen the incident but I know this is the answer

I didnt see anything in the BZT incident, I think its getting alot of traction now because Heeney supporters are claiming its the same act (even Buckley/Jono Brown were trying to say it on On the Couch but Lyon shut them down pretty well).
But BZT was just sticking his arm out to get touch on Naughton, Naughton ran into his arm and there wasnt a swinging arm motion. In Heeneys Incident he swings his arm back with force to break a hold so its deemed a strike.
Im more concerned with Naughton being so easily knocked out from such light contact, thats a worrying sign.

agree with this, but concussions can be fickle in nature. some people can run into a pole and not show symptoms or signs of a concussion, and others can have a slight bump and it'll cause some serious symptoms.

Heeney ban stands.

I wonder if this was more an F you to everybody from the AFL than it is about the act

It was about enforcing a rule and then an appeals board throwing out an appeal that raised no errors in law.

There is no message being sent apart from that

 

[straightuplazy]

Unsure if it Patrick Voss first game for Freo, but good luck to him.

 

[Phone]

hopefully anyone who still thinks we should have challenged the Redman one will accept that Essendon was right not to waste the money or time

I wonder if this was more an F you to everybody from the AFL than it is about the act

the AFL's part in this was to find Heeney guilty of a charge, and then when he appealed the charge, it was to argue in favour of the charge in front of the independent tribunal and when they was successful in doing that and the Swans appealed again, their part was again further argue in favour of the charge in front of the AFL Appeal Board. there's no F you from the AFL.

now if they release a press statement declaring glorious victory, that would be a **** you. and if in the off-season, the AFL looks at making it harder to appeal, I dare say this nonsensical appeal to the Appeals Board and the Crows stupid appeal to the Tribunal for the Rankine one, would maybe also be a stuff you

So we’re finishing 11th? Yay.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

I feel bad for Heeney...

But Sydney, up ya.

 

[Ati Tude]

He has played at least 2 already. Looked ok but nothing sensational. Kind of how you want to see it with former players that didnt quite get a break at Ess.

 

[jmoo wan]

i did like Sydney’s teen-angst ridden defence:

“The Swans argued that Tuesday's finding was "so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could come to that decision"

lol

 

[fairbump_playon]

Maybe I'm alone but I loved everything about this

 

[Old Campaigner]

Heeney ban stands.

I’m genuinely surprised

 

[Old Campaigner]

Maybe the AFL knows Zach is winning it anyway so there’s no Brownlow night controversy to be averted here

 

[Beerfish]

So what now for Heeney? Human Rights Commission?

Privy council?

Makes me feel all icky inside but I think we need to barrack for Carlton tomorrow.

I'd prefer to barrack for the Dogs who win, then we win. All of a sudden we'd be above Carlton on the ladder. I then be like

Nah. Should just keep winning and not worry.
