Review Round 18, 2024 - West Coast vs. Brisbane Lions

[haystark]

Only been deliberating for like 20 minutes. They've done it for hours in certain past tribunal/appeal cases.

I know, but the AFL has assured everyone this is an open and shut case.

I know, but the AFL has assured everyone this is an open and shut case.

But they also probably want to give the illusion that there is debate and discussion going on too.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Based on the history of the appeals board, it would have been better to accidentally refer to him as “Patrick Cripps

What a great result and full kudos to the club for getting a top lawyer to run the appeal. The whole AFL argument by their legal team was garbage from the start and how the tribunal ever accepted it was mind boggling.

 

[braddsey]

Whilst it’s been a roller coaster week, the best part about it is the fact it’s embarrassed the shit out of the AFL in the end.

I think it's a "line in the sand" moment for the AFL as a whole. When the AFLPA came out and said they don't know what's going on, then it's a pretty big statement.
People are p*ssed with the mess this year. Changing rules mid-season. Umpiring in general. Players being suspended entirely based on outcome vs action.

Bedford is up. Good luck Giants!

 

[M Malice]

Does anybody know who were the people on the appeals board?

 

[werdna78]

So happy right now, almost in tears.

He’s such a good bloke.

 

[Kwickhatch]

Can someone explain to me how and why he got off? Like what did we argue?
