Cripps got off on a legal technicality.

Footy act getting longer than a non-footy act, again.

This s*t needs revision because it's currently ****** broken.

 

[thebaldfacts]

This is what we'll argue and I think we're likely to be successful. The AFL just want it to go through more of a process than simply dismissed by the MRO.

Spot on. It's the AFL's way of saying be careful or we will put you through the ringer before we let you play.

Need to Hire his Lawyer

And perhaps it's the AFL's way of clarifying these head high incidents by going to the Tribunal and having them argued.

I feel sick thinking about this appeal process and Bruzzy potentially missing a GF

That legal loophole has now been closed. It won't exist in this case.

Unless they can find some other legal error somewhere ..this will be only be about the incident itself.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Maynard and Van Rooyen both being classed as careless is most of the problem. One had to make a decision in MID-AIR and tucked his arms in to avoid contact with a forearm, elbow or shoulder. The other ran past the ball and threw a forearm out.

That’s because only Collingwood gets players suspended for GFs. Last time it happened was in both 2002 and 2003.

EDIT: Well, and Andrew Gaff. But he was going long range.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Was always going to the tribunal. Chrisso doesn't have the sack to throw it out and would rather defer responsibility on such a high profile decision. I still think he'll get off.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I like Davey33's strategy of getting banned before his team plays so he doesn't have to front up after they lose.

Smart or cowardice, I'll let you decide.

Where is Davey33 now? Haven't Blues just got 2 lucky goals out the back similar to what he said were Bobby's last night?

 

[Apex36]

Sounds like fake news to me.

Being reported by multiple outlets now that the AFL exec got involved. So much for the independence of the MRO…

Don't forget Phil Carman.

Yes I am definitely experiencing the déjà vu from that time..hence why I've felt sick in the stomach ever since the incident last night.

And chances are it could be Lions in this year's GF too.

He's not worth wasting oxygen over....

 

[Finnishpie]

Rewatched the game today when I was meant to be working.

was a lot less exciting. A lot less stressful too.

McReery was better than I thought. so was Mihocek.

A few were just as poor. Don’t remember who the dufus was who was demanding apologies for bagging McStay, but apart from that mark running backwards, boy he was disappointing. He will definitely be better next time because I can’t imagine him being worse.

In fact, there are a few players who will be much better next time.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He's not worth wasting oxygen over....

Oh yeah I know...but the similarities were too much to ignore

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

what’s her gender got to do with it?

No harm in mentioning it if merely for the fact she has never experienced pressure football at the highest level.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Laura Kane. Believe she's a Pies supporter as well.

Obviously not a very good one.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Fight this to the death. Should get thrown out

If not, perhaps fans should stage a march on AFL headquarters and the club refuse to participate in any further finals.

 

[Magpiemack]

She’s new to the job and no doubt wanting to make a name for herself. She should let the process work not interfere and try to big note

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

A lot of people in the AFL & Tribunal have not played high pressure football at the highest level.

Who cares. She not the other 'lots of people' is the one who supposedly determined that Maynard would not get off without a charge. Her name and sex are in the public arena. No harm in mentioning what's known about the person.

 

[larrikan]

The AFL was always going to take the soft option and not make a MRO decision due to risk aversion and their ongoing legal matters.

This is it, especially with Brayshaw who could potentially take legal action in the future with his concussion history. Todays AFL decision comes from its legal counsel.

Its not a football based decision. That will play out in the next two weeks. Collingwood will have QCs lined up already.

It feels like a one week ban will be a compromise but the fact Van rooyen intentionally elbowed Mcstay is only one week is disgusting.

It would have been AFL legal counsel. Its just to cover their arse in the future. The real football action has not even been considered yet. They have precedent for doing it this year.
