MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[Capital Power]

Now he is trying to use SPPs own words of "all his force" to bring McEvoy down against him

Yeah. Like we now expect footballers to use only 50% of their available force in tackling. Each player will be baselined to make sure no tackles go over this. Either that or a "tackle" is to be effected by ripping a velcro tag off a player's shorts. Gently.

If this conviction stands, which it absolutely can’t, then god help any more tacklers in the future.
Pandora’s box.

It'll be fine if you play for most clubs.

Football will become a quandary of "do I pick the ball up and get called for htb" or "do I tackle and get suspended".

For Ports anyway.

not really

The AFL clearly dont use any kind of precedent so they will just move on and the next bloke who does worse than SPP will get nothing but a fine

Mr Gleeson delivering closing remarks on behalf of the AFL "You don't need to be satisfied this tackle both finished and started as a dangerous tackle ... the problem with the tackle was how it finished up."

LOL and you think Krupka is a dodo

It should be thrown out just on this piss weak closing remark

Gleeson tends to go hard at the players especially when fists and bumps are involved, almost personal.

AFL counsel submits not seen before video evidence.

[Spadge]

Tackle gently everybody!

You can only tackle gently and and place him on the ground on his bum

Next you will need to ask a player if its ok to tackle them

 

[Capital Power]

Tackle gently everybody!

So a player falling backwards in a tackle is enough to pique the MRO's interest? By the time we get to R18, it'll be down to 7-a-side.

EDIT: Except Richmond

 

[MrMeaner]

There are some dodgeball quotes that are coming to me for some unknown reason.

Bit disappointed this has taken nearly an hour

it should have been done 20 seconds into the hearing

Sadly the longer it goes on, the less likely they are to throw it out. But presumably counsel are being paid by the hour?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Bottom comments are first.

Mr Krupka is walking the panel through 14 still images from Powell-Pepper's tackle on McEvoy.

Mr Krupka: There's nothing wrong with the technique. The only reason I showed you Neal-Bullen is because I wanted to show you what a true sling tackle is.

.....
Mr Krupka is now showing Alex Neal-Bullen's tackle on Will Hamill, the first incident that was brought before the Tribunal under the revised sling tackle guidelines introduced during the year.

 

[Spadge]

because watching the video once isnt enough to show how stupid the charge was?

 

[Del165198]

Your honour, Mr McEvoy or "big boy" as he is affectionately known, is such a large individual that he has, upon occasion, caused commentators to remark "boy oh boy wowee!"

 

[backtozero]

So they make rule changes based on specific incidents and then protest when that specific incident is used as an example?

 

[Jojay]

The fact this is still going after an hour is staggering.

 

[Boxx]

Has Waleed Ali testified yet?

 

[Del165198]

Now he is trying to use SPPs own words of "all his force" to bring McEvoy down against him

Players should just try to tackle gently

If he wore a black and yellow jumper this would of been over 59min ago...
