Was the Jack Trengove hearing fair?

Featured Replies

I think you'll find it's Tinney's job whether he agrees with what he's saying or not. He's been hired to prosecute for the MRP, not go in and argue for Jack. Give the Tinney bashing a rest.

 

Adam McNicol: Tinney says medical report showed Dangerfield did suffer severe concussion. The fact he could train today "doesn't in any way change the fact this was a significant injury he sustained."

Dog!

That Tinney bloke is a dog.

Yes and Adam McNicol didn't post comments regarding Tinney - can't imagine why? :(

 

Fix is in.

AFL is refusing to accept Melbourne's argument that the original hearing was a dodgy hearing with only enough time for the panel to pop into the loo before coming out and toeing Demetriou's line.


This, with moderator's endorsement added on top.

May I say that I get the feeling Tinney and I would not become great friends if we were to ever meet? (Just a feeling I get)

Was the hearing fair? It doesn't appear so. Is the appeal open and accountable? The media have been banned from twittering during the hearing - is the AFL afraid that the public might be disquieted from what is being said? There is no reason that this hearing should be closed in this manner - it is worrying that it is. :rolleyes:

Given he was charged on the back of an Adelaide medical report I would think an updated report that downgrades the severity of the concussion (i.e. Dangerfield is now ok to play this weekend), should help.

Yeah... he kind of makes me want to punch him in the back of the head, whilst he's sipping some coffee


get wikileaks on-board this stinks

wow i think we are wasting our time here the afl has never admitted or never will admit that they got something wrong

Hello Adam. Does Tinney have any friends? Was he picked on as a child?

Adam wont answer my question.


Based on what I've been reading I think we're sunk. Hasn't introduced any startling new evidence or clearly shown where the original tribunal verdict was incorrect. Think it's going to stand.

18:32

Adam McNicol: Tony, the tackling player has to take care so that he does not put his opponent's head into the ground and cause him an injury.

Can u believe this shisen?

And some of the knuckle draggers that came up with this have actually played footy!

Yep that's the AFL dictatorship for you

wont take 4 minutes this time gauranteed there in there talking about there plans 4 the weekend to drag it out


Only about 800m from Etihad right now.. and wearing a Demons jacket. So, so tempted to wander on down and glare at people exiting the media centre.

could adelaide's dubious role in this have something to do with the departure of Todd Viney and the commitment to Jack Viney?????

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
