If they offer a 5 year deal straight up and structure it that way it’s fine, but not when they offer a 3 year free agency deal with 90% of the salary that he gets over 5 years and the two year extension comes after he signs.

The problem here is they’ve, maybe, offered a mammoth deal over 3 years to (potentially) manipulate the free agency compo and get ESS a better pick so they don’t match, then extend the contract at very very low cost to spread his salary out over 5 years.

They may not have done this, but that the question that’s being asked.

I don't think they can actually spread out the salary from the three years initially offered. They just get the last two much cheaper.

They'd probably get away with it without question if they extended him in the third year, instead of now.

Downgraded (from intentional to careless) so a fine only.

The AFL seems to have an issue with the Crows struggling. They do seem to get the odd leg-up we wouldn't. I guess the AFL would be concerned about their falling crowds.

[Buget]

Lol Willie Riolo got off. Fully expecting Robinson to be overturned now - in fact Duursma will probably get a game lol

How is that possible?

How is that possible?

This is the AFL anything is possible

 

[Grave Danger]

Robinson rep: The game is built on courage. Here, Robinson had the maturity and insight to read an impact at the very last moment and took steps to protect Duursma.

Well we should be nominating Mitch for Australian of the year. What a noble act cleverly disguised as recklessly and deliberately lining up a young footballer

Well i never thought id see Robinson and maturity without the word lack in the sentence but here we are

 

[Quadzilla]

How is that possible?

'The jury did find he had made high contact with Rowell, but that proved irrelevant after the rough conduct charge was dismissed.'

So they throw out the charge but can't get him on one that he actually is guilty of ??

[Grave Danger]

The Tribunal finds that Robinson committed the reportable offence of forcible front-on contact ... the Tribunal is not satisfied Robinson was contesting the ball at the moment of impact.

Didn't know he played on the weekend.

 

[GremioPower]

MRO and Tribunal main questions:

— Is it a Vic club?
— Was against a Vic club?
— Is it a star player?
— How hurt is the victim?

The rest is secondary.

That level of gaslighting is right up there with Morrison accusing Albanese of going missing when things get tough.

You have to almost feel sorry for him.

 

[TeeKray]

West Coast have had two players forced into retirement in the past 12 months due to brain injuries and yet still go and defend Rioli for recklessly clattering into an opponent's head with zero regard for his safety. What a ridiculous precedent for the tribunal to set.

As if the Tribunal actually followed precendents. It doesn't. It's maddening.

 

[VineValerian]

Deservedly so.
Deliberately tried to set up St Mitch and impune his courage and maturity.

 

[VineValerian]

Why wasn't Rowell suspended for purposely trying to break Rioli's 6 feet off the ground hip with his jaw.

Blight on the game.

Had that been Jonas - "Wahh. Ten weeks. Absolute filth. Run him out of the game immediately".

The only thing consistent about the AFL MRO and tribunal is their inconsistency.
