Eaton, Ransome, Walder & Lee to face the tribunal on friday night. And who said investigations prove nothing
The investigation hasn't PROVEN anything yet Delray. It has recommended further action and that is what has happened. It is now up to the tribunal to PROVE what happened.
Walder and Eaton charged for wrestling (A joke if ever I heard one). Both if found guilty will face a reprimand at worse. Both never been reported in their entire careers and both with a League Best and Fairest to their names which goes a long way when sentencing is considered. I believe both will get off the charge anyway.
Ransome and Lee for striking and I would imagine Red Cliffs will fight Lee pretty hard. Ransome will probably get a few and I believe he will plead guilty to the charge.
Why would the League hold this hearing on the night before a game? It leaves both teams unsure about thier sides for the game and particularly when both coaches are involved. Surely they could have put it off until next week as they did for Deckert due to his unavailability. You really have to wonder about the League sometimes.
Hey Nakkers, hope you got all the items on your list the other night. Was good to see you and say g'day mate. I agree with you about the chairman. He should not be involved seeing the family link and team link.
