If Jerry gets off can Hardwick appeal for a re-reinstatement of the penalty?

He's Jerry now?

 

[Quested]

I daresay the team understand it's out of their control, and are focused on Friday's match. We and the media are probably giving it far more attention than the team have, and rightly so. Berry had an absolutely stand out game, and is always a quality player, but we played the Tigers without Rayner and Big O, and the Demons without Big O and Daniher. We have depth in our team and we seem to relish a bit of adversity, so either way I don't think it impacts the outcome of the game. I certainly won't be sitting here if we lose saying 'wouldn't have gone down that way if Berry was in'

On the Lions board since we have a Jarrod Berry and a Tom Berry it is sometimes just shortened to Jerry and Terry - kind of a nickname.

Yeah I get the logic, just wanted to use that gif lol

 

[McIvor]

Cue the ironic faux outrage of Cats fans tonight if Jerry gets off.

[Squizz89]

Fail.

The Lions arguing Berry's contact was not intentional OR careless.

They say any contact with Oliver's eye region was accidental while flailing to get Oliver off him.

 

[Elixuh]

I don't see the relevance. The Brisbane Lions are not the MRO and Oliver has not been charged with anything. We can make whatever claims we want. I love it. Acting like we are raising something that wasn't caught on camera and that the MRO didn't have an opportunity to charge Oliver over his conduct.

 

[M Malice]

Has it started early?

 

[M Malice]

Character witness alert: Luke Hodge will be relied upon by the Lions.

Hodge's written statement says Berry a player of "outstanding character and integrity" and "definitely a person who wouldn't intentionally do what he's been charged with".



Hodge being dialled up now.

Fk we have called in the big guns. Good bloke is going to get our boy off!

[Nathan Barley]

No immediate or ongoing treatment yet it's worth a suspension?

Sounds like the contact was even less than a poke in the eye

Did he get suspended for attempting to eye gouge?

 

[M Malice]

Anderson: What would you say about the likelihood he'd intentionally make contact to the eye region of an opponent?



Hodge: Nup. No chance.

 

[Thomasno]

Oh damn, the inventor of the “Good Bloke” defence himself, Luke Hodge, has joined Berry’s case

He wasn't charged with eye gouging. They can get him for unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the eye region.

is now giving evidence.



"I felt like I was under threat ... my intentions were to get him off me by pushing him or grabbing and pulling him off me. I was in quite a vulnerable position."

 

[FLVanLandingham]

a bit nervous about the.. finicky aspects of all this lawyering. Arguing self defence, but not arguing what Clayton did was bad enough to defend himself?

 

[bato]

I’m not feeling that confident. Something seems off about this all.

 

[M Malice]

Berry showing the ring finger on his left hand to the Tribunal, which he says has been dislocated more than 100 times.



He shows it to the Tribunal.



To be honest, it looks dislocated right now. He isn't lying.

 

[Nathan Barley]

He wasn't charged with eye gouging. They can get him for unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the eye region.

But surely the lack of force rules it out from being unreasonable unless they think the attempt to make contact to the eye was unreasonable

I think we are trying to keep our narrative simple to make the Tribunal's decision simple.
