MRP / Trib. Tribunal Thread - rules and offences discombobulation

[Willsy10]

What about 2 games, but also miss the Freo trial?

This would be ideal but haven't they already ruled out having one of the games served this friday?

Missing 2 minor round games i was always prepared for and that's what i thought it would be until the goal posts got shifted as the week has worn on.

West coast at home and Richmond away, i don't think SPP being out for those two games should be of a concern, we really should be winning those two fairly easily.

 

[El_Scorcho]

SPP said what the club told him to say, are you actually that naive ?

Do you honestly think the club would make SPP admit fault if he didn't think he'd done anything wrong. Do you think he would agree to do that?

Give him more credit. He's owning up to having made a mistake.

I can't believe i'm getting slammed by certain idiots for apparently being anti-SPP when people in this thread are talking down his contested ball prowess, his ability to move in traffic, his reaction time and now, his integrity.

has pleaded guilty to all aspects of the charge. Port Adelaide is asking for three weeks, the AFL is asking for four.

As expected. Port is asking to use an assessment by a bio-mechanist of the collision to plead its case. Also as expected, Fox Footy is making this request a meme on its X account.




Don't Port know that using experts in evidence at Tribunals is only acceptable from the big Victorian clubs?

 

[El_Scorcho]

Disappointing, we should have contested the severity of the impact.

 

[Wargreymon90]

David Zita is such a weasel

 

[RossFC]

Nothing.

Prepare to be ****ed hard, we're not a big Victorian club.

How are these 2 incidents just swept under the rug? Similar to when Hugh Jackson got wiped out by a Woodville player, no report and not even a free kick in that case. It's a farce.

 

[Festerz]

The evidence of the bio-mechanist has been allowed.

Repeating arguments made by posters here Port says the bio-mechanist will present evidence demonstrating that only a fraction of a second was available to SPP to respond to Keane's changing body position during the Rioli tackle and that less a tenth of a second prior to contact, Powell-Pepper's left arm was extended as part of an attempt to tackle, not bump.

This is consistent with Powell-Pepper's evidence who says he can't recollect what happened in the last split second of the incident but his intention was to tackle the whole way through.

 

[TazD]

David Zita is such a weasel

Why?

 

[Wargreymon90]

Why?

He is incredibly condescending in how he provides updates on cases in a pathetic attempt to be funny. Look back on his commentary on the Jonas case last year

You can't once they're concussed with lasting effects such as this. It's automatically severe.

Because the SPP case with media hystera overshadows everything else.

It's like when McAdam got smashed in the head and broke his jaw Vs Sydney "goal post gate" game , nobody was talking about how he was allowed to continue playing without medical assistance/SCAT test performed because all the hype was about the umpire making the wrong decision goal umpiring decision.

 

[tribey]

The AFL asking for four weeks lol. Goodness me.

Eh, dude is trying to bring levity to something pretty dry. Good on him for finding his niche.

 

[TeeKray]

Yeah but if a solid bump that causes a concussion is severe then where do you go when a guy gets knocked out cold or ends up with multiple facial fractures?

Additionally, how can there possibly be three different levels of impact lower than the Powell-Pepper incident? By the time you get to low you must be brushing them with a feather.

They're all severe according to the AFL.
100% there should be more than 3 grades.
The whole system is a joke and should revert back to what we had. If you're trying to eliminate head knocks the AFL will always be bias towards severe impact.

 

[PAFC66]

They can because the Victorian media is comfortable with this.
We'll just accept everything as usual

 

[Ports1870]

We are trying to get 3 weeks. No doubt a Carlton or Collingwoods lawyers would be trying to get him off altogether..

 

[Festerz]

Eh, dude is trying to bring levity to something pretty dry. Good on him for finding his niche.

He's the guy covering the tribunal for one of the AFL's senior media partners. A tribunal that has important ramifications not just for SPP or our club but the whole competition.

Posting comments like this is just juvenile BS.

 

[PAFC66]

So a good lawyer.

 

[Ports1870]

So a good lawyer.

Exactly

 

[Festerz]

So a good lawyer.

A good lawyer argues from a basis of reality and understands the context of the case being agued and the audience who will make the decision.

A lawyer arguing that there is no case to answer here would be an idiot.

Arguing the difference between 3 and 4 makes excellence sense given the make up of the tribunal and the AFL's changed directions for Tribunal decisions around 'evolving community standards'.

Aim for the stars and see what happens , that's what the AFL does.
It's a kangaroo court arguing on the basis of reality doesn't work.

 

[TazD]

REEEEEEEEEE

 

[Grave Danger]

David Zita is such a weasel

"It's Weisel"

 

[bringbackbucky]

Why the hell did Sam need to tackle a player that was already being tackled? Dumb football gets what it deserves.
