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:

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
