MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[PAFC66]

It's just the.. Vibe...

No worries. I wasn't sure of the tone given that some others on here have gone the ad hom. I agree with your point, btw. But all barristers know what it's like to have to make submissions where they think the other side has the better case.

Gleeson has gone hard after players in punches, fists and bumps. He usually gets the severe MRP/MRO rulings cases that go straight to the tribunal and end up in 5+ week suspensions. I listed all those cases since 2015. Think I put it in here after posting it on main board.

To be honest this 3 ex footballer Jury probably made their mind up over an hour ago

This is taking far too long

The AFL Tribubal is such a farce. It's treated like this legitimate court with evidence and submissions and QCs and all sorts of bullshit but it's actually nothing more than a flimsy kangaroo court ruling on loosely defined rules and guidelines relating to mostly non serious incidents in a game of football. Biggest egotistical wank off ever.

Exactly. Should just be a panel of a few non flog ex players, maybe an ump, that sit down and go woddaya reckon? Weeks or not? You do that and SPPs suspension is done in 30 seconds.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

They have 2 more tackle cases. Reckon they are setting up their approach for the 2 after this one.

I'm just glad that Elspeth Hussey isn't on the jury.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Some final clarifications on terminology are being made before the jury are sent to deliberate.

Doomed then

 

[OneGreatClub]

And then was us thinking they would throw it out in Five minutes

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The jury has begun deliberating! Hang tight for a verdict / details.

They will deliver a verdict so it coincides with the sports section of 7 news Melbourne, it’s just how they run.

Bloody Victorian’s

 

[Capital Power]

They're not going to spend an hour and a half, plus deliberation, on a case they're going to throw out, surely? Especially as they have others to hear afterwards.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I like how the MRO punishes tacklers but the umpiring rewards tacklers (not those first to the ball)

Gil paying by the hour?

Its taking this long because Stewart Loewe doesn't understand what the lawyers said.

"What's a jury?"

 

[Interstater]

They are waiting for Eddie's brown paper bag to show up to seal the deal.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

These ********s are going to make an example of him, you just know it

Nah, we could have dealt with that. Isn't she in finbarr's walking circle these days??

hes still concussed from that bully Michael Stevens clipping the back of his head one time.

Not that he was too concussed to stitch Stevens up at the hearing

[RussellEbertHandball]

There are 4 tackle cases being appealed tonight, so 3 more after SPP"s.

That's why this has taken so long. SPP's is effectively the test case setting up how the other 3 will be judged/ruled on.

 

[manureid]

Inb4 2 weeks

Yep. And wasn't it Indigenous Round too?
