Was the Jack Trengove hearing fair?

Tinney is at it again - wants the second doctor's report to not be accepted - said the first one said there was concussion. So the evidence should be picked through and only that evidence which supports your case should be accepted by the tribunal, and all other evidence should be thrown out? Sounds like someone is grasping at straws and knows it. :huh:

Its obviously now time to take court action for unfair restriction of trade.

Jack has been denied natural justice

His means of earning an income have been affected

Sue the [censored] AFL to reverse the decision and a large compensation amount

Include an injunction to prevent them enforcing any ban (Its been done before in the VFL days)

What is the world of sport coming to

Never reported in his career, including juniors!

Never reported, let alone suspended. The first time he gets cited is after the match for an incident that didn't even receieve a free kick, nor any reaction from Adelaide players, and it was for a perfectly laid tackle!

Really! This is a Travesty on his Clean Record. I think we should Fund an appeal through the courts. This is just not right. Get an injunction, or something.

Complete trash.

They have clearly ignored every argument raised - not to mention the arguments of the fans and his peers! Pre-determined result - they should've just refused the tribunal hearing and saved us all the time.

A perfect tackle for which no Adelaide player remonstrated against. If it wasn't the perfect tackle, he would've been suspended for 2 more weeks for the tackle on Brodie Smith 3 seconds later.

The panel was told by the chair on Tuesday night to regard the conduct of the tackler and not the consequence of the tackle. This has been clearly ignored as the only thing mentioned has been the concussion. How this is worse than deliberately elbowing someone to the face 50 metres of the ball is well and truly beyond the minds of mere mortals (or sane humans).

To suspend a guy who has never even been reported in his life for a perfect tackle for three weeks because the guy he tackled swung his leg as he was tackled is just the most pathetically ridiculous outcome I could have imagined.

Very angry about this, very angry indeed.

Well the AFL has set the precedent now. All losing teams should have a massive dummy spit and file doctor's reports for all their players who were injured during the course of play, whether accidentally or not. The AFL has accepted an argument that the home team has a duty of care not to hurt anyone from the away team. I hope we and all other teams follow the course of conduct established by the Adelaide sooks and go whining to Vlad. Seeing as we have two away games coming up - I hope the Roos and the Saints wrap our boys in cotton wool before tackling them, or we might get hurt and go sooking to mummy about it! :mad:

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
