's.

Other way around and Bedford's appeal would have been dismissed.

 

[Hollow Knight]

We’ve been through something special together.

 

[Fatcat08]

Be thankful that Charlie Cameron's case went before Toby Bedford's.

Other way around and Bedford's appeal would have been dismissed.

You're welcome. All we want in return is whoever's responsible for your social media channel for a few weeks intensive training

 

[Orange crush]

The good guys win …. And Brisbane, yeah they win too



Edit: that’s a joke

 

[Giant YoYo]

Appeal Board Reason for Bedford's successful appeal decision:

The matter we raised with council for Bedford at the beginning of his address was the impact of law 18.7 of the laws of Australian Football.

(Law) 18.7.1, 'spirit and intention', reads as follows. "Players should be protected from unreasonable conduct from an opposition player, which is likely to cause injury."

Now what is plain that follows from the proper construction of that law is that there are two elements to the offence of rough conduct.

First, there's got to be unreasonable conduct, and secondly, the conduct must be likely to cause injury.

We accept that the Tribunal below found unreasonable conduct, however it made no finding about whether or not the conduct of Bedford was likely to cause injury.

There's nothing in the reasons of the Tribunal that indicate any consideration that second element of the offence of rough conduct, nor is there anything in the transcript dealing with the evidence or submissions of counsel.

In our previous case, we upheld the appeal of the player because there was no consideration of the second element, being was the conduct likely to cause injury.

Similarly, in this case, we uphold the appeal on the ground that there was an error of law that had a material impact upon the outcome in the tribunal below. That error of law being a failure to take into account second element of the charge of rough conduct set out in law 18.7.1.

We must say that in coming to that view, we've also looked closely at the video of the incident to see whether any inference could be drawn about whether or not conduct of the player was likely to cause injury. We have to say that we were unable come to a view that that inference ought to be drawn.

There's simply not a conduct there that would enable the Appeal Board to somehow substitute its own decision instead of the failure by the Tribunal below to come to its decision accordingly.

For those reasons, the appeal will be allowed and the order of the Appeal Board is that the charge brought against the player Bedford is dismissed.

Our banner in Rd 22 should say, "Thanks".

 

[dlanod]

Personal opinion, all costs should be reimbursed or cap increased upon successful appeals such as this.

Clubs cap should not be under pressure or clubs disadvantaged for future appeals as a result.

I thought it did?

 

[Jewelsbon]

Bedford's appeal has been successful, he's free to play!!

Excellent news, right result for both Bedford and Cameron.
MRO is completely stuffed

 

[SackofTaters]

Pardon the Intrusion.

For the sake of the game, this was the right call to not suspend Bedford for a single game , let alone 3..

How it got even this far is the lunacy.

 

[Giant Pete]

I think we’ll straight up get beaten by a hungrier team this week.

 

[Colonial]

I think we’ll straight up get beaten by a hungrier team this week.

You couldn’t wait till the morning to be pessimistic after tonight’s good news?

 

[Del208273]

I bet the GWS Social Media team is racking their brains and scouring the internet for an appropriately worded song that implies a two-fingered salute to the AFL if Bedford scores a goal this weekend.

 

[Land of the Giants]

I think we’ll straight up get beaten by a hungrier team this week.

I'm sure we'll be bring our appetite.

 

[Giant YoYo]

I thought it did?

My apologies, you are correct. When I did a google search I couldn't find confirmation.

Decided to look up the tribunal guidelines instead - https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/do...509b31d77ed8/2024-AFL-Tribunal-Guidelines.pdf

The cost of an appeal will be $10,000, with the full appeal and tribunal fee refundable in the event of a successful appeal. In the event of an unsuccessful appeal, an amount of $5,000 will be considered Football Department Expenditure (i.e. included in the “soft cap”) for the purpose of Rule 50 of the AFL Rules.

So now that Bedford has been freed, who do we think he goes to?

Suns have 3 prolific mids in Anderson, Flanders and Rowell. Who do we lock down?

. The AFL got hammered tonight. Got what they deserved after these ludicrous suspensions.

 

[Brave New World]

No Witts for the Suns, either.

They'll be witless?

Sounds more like the AFL Tribunal.

 

[Del208273]

The pessimist in me says the free kick count this weekend might be, ahem, influenced.

Far worse than normal.

 

[3207]

Add dissolving the MRO to the long list in the to-do list for the AFL.

Needs to be totally revamped and renamed.

Michael Christian should be typing up his resignation and getting his resume in order.

What he need a resume for? He can have any job at Collingwood he so wishes.

 

[Danny88]

Strange situation we find ourselves in. We are in the 8 (although it doesn’t feel like it) and are expected to win at home

But….

We look too short in the backline. We also look like we are lacking depth and class in the mids.

Pessimist me has us behind the 8ball before we start with the team selected. Optimist me says it won’t matter as team pressure in all three sections of the ground will win more games than individuals will
