Add a couple more weeks:

Adelaide's medical report notes that, in addition to concussion, Rankine suffered an AC joint injury to his right shoulder.

Reminds me of this "got me a good one".

Deliberating now

 

[It Just Is]

Our overly apologetic approach at the tribunal hasn’t worked in the past.

The cynic in me says there is no science to any of this and the tribunal will take a mid point of our 3 and the AFL’s 5 and call it a day.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Yeah it's like Marketplace. You have to start with a wild number to get a reasonable result

We've had Houston saying he's adamant that the bump has no high contact. But we're accepting the judgement of high contact because the head hit the ground.

That part of the guidelines only counts for dangerous tackles, not for rough conduct bumps.

FFS we should be arguing the grading to body contact and pushing for two weeks.

Of course the AFL flogs want a bigger suspension than Rankine for Intentional, high contact with severe impact.

Let’s face it, despite volumes of rules and definitions, this whole process is a complete dog's breakfast. There’ll be no consistency, rhyme or reason to whatever they decide.

.... With KC's at 30 paces for clubs with the deep pockets, who wait for their chance to idly pick at the seams of the tribunal's cheap suit.

 

[Nemisis]

We should have gone for 2 weeks max.

 

[240volt]

I can’t see this ending good.

Should of gone the Thillthorpe 'was attempting to tunnel him' defense.

 

[Lambot]

Should of gone the Thillthorpe 'was attempting to tunnel him' defense.

If only Houston has got there quicker to take out Rankine's legs instead of hitting his body. Everything would have been fine then. No case to answer.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Fingers crossed this comes into play:

"if a Classifiable Offence is contested or referred to the Tribunal, a Player with an exemplary record could argue it constitutes exceptional and compelling circumstances (which would make it inappropriate to apply the sanctions in this document to the determined classification). In such circumstances, the Tribunal would determine the appropriate sanction in its absolute discretion"

Kinda doubt it though.

Has Houston been inserted into the iron maiden yet?

Has Houston been inserted into the iron maiden yet?

Nah, the Slayer.

 

[Rozee2Butters]

Genuinely hope he gets less than what Rankine the sniper got for his dog act on Starcevich. If you get more weeks for lining someone up off the ball than genuinely contesting the footy then something is wrong

 

[ClintEastwood]

 

[stewie griffen]

Inevitable.

That's astounding

 

[Adz2332]

No surprises 5 matches
Now to appeal

 

[El_Scorcho]

Must appeal based on the misapplication of the law that it's high contact because the head hit the ground

 

[ClintEastwood]

It's a shell of a sport these days.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Outrageous.

A bloke's career was ended last year and the guy wasn't even fined.

 

[Ah12]

5 weeks. Port should have argued the rules need to be changed as that act is currently not a free kick but it is suspendible. It makes no sense.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Should be lodging and appeal before even shutting down the zoom session

 

[jimbob12]

5 weeks. Hopefully Port appeal.
