Football operations general manager Adrian Anderson wrote to the club under AFL player rule 23.18.2, which covers criticism of a tribunal decision, and asked for a response by 12pm on Friday, May 13.

The rule states, in part, "No person subject to these rules shall make any unfair, unreasonable or excessive public criticism of a tribunal decision or of any tribunal member or any other matter touching upon or concerning the tribunal or a determination made by it".

Anderson has complete discretion in deciding whether the rule has been breached, with any sanctions levelled at the players and/or the club also at his discretion.

Lets see..Fair ?? Theres nothing fair about any of this so we can dispense with FAIR

Unreasonable ? The was no allowance for reason in any of the MRP's deliberations... so we can dispense with UNREASONABLE too

Excessive ?? You could argue they were very economical with words...and so hardly EXCESSIVE

not rreally sure what they have to answer for.....unlike the MRP !!! :rolleyes:

Dear Vlad, we are very sorry for insulting your godlike AFL image. We hope your ego hasn't been deflated. We know how hard it is for you to run the competion when your head doesn't fit within the camera frame on your press conferences.

Nothing unreasnoable about any of those words....Anderson must be taken down, along with KB.

Petterd's word wasn't unreasonable ?

If you're going to emphasise a word WYL using a different size, at least spell the word right. You even edited your sentence !

You've been obsessed with KB for what seems like for ever. If you don't like him....

He is on the Rules Committee....i therefore think it is rather important...You can turn a radio off yes, but KB still has influence beyond airwaves.

What did Ricky tweet that bothered you so?

Well said.

Bartlett runs out of media boxes when Cam Schwab comes a calling and holds a grudge for 16 years. Pathetic. Yet he is then entrusted to be part of the rules committee that govern the game.

Yes & that is exactly the way KB played, he was the Widest receiver to play the game, not to say he didn't play his role well, but KB never had many grass stains on the shorts.

I doubt he ever laid a hard tackle in any of his 400 games, he had Neil Balme, Roger Dean & Mal Brown to do that for him!!

KB ran up the race at high speed during the Windy Hill Brawl in'74 and waited in the rooms whilst the most vicious of all in's occurred!!!

I'd like to pass judgement on anderson. Incompetent, hopelessly out of touch with afl fans and a total dipstick. And if the Afl administration had any accountability whatsoever, he would have been the one suspended - for good.

Seen as though Trengrove was screwed royally on a weak technicality, one could argue that Ricky's tweet "Bullsh*t" wasn't technicly aimed at anyone/anything in particular. Made no mention of Trengrove or the MRP.

His word may have been unreasonable, but what was Ricky referring to? Maybe he disagreed with who was kicked off MasterChef that night?

Adrian Anderson should just walk away from this one.......no point angering the football public/fans any further. The AFL is losing credibility by the second. Hammering guys for their twitter remarks (which IMO were harmless) is just rubbing salt into the wound. An unnecessary wound I might add.

Walk away Anderson, or forever be known as a piece of [censored] rot.

It's not what bothers me, it is what the AFL deems "unreasonable".

Note the spelling.

It's quite obvious what the AFL are referring to, those in denial will simply ignore.

I find it hard to understand how the AFL have the power to impose a fine, suspended or otherwise, on a player for tweeting the word [censored].

This is, in my opinion, way beyond any authority these officials have.

They would say that he was abusing the AFL decision and that is a no-no.....

Which is what he did, but you have a very good point.

I agree...The Fat Controller has certainly ramped it up hasn't he....and now with the Putrid new Broadcasting Rights, you can bet your life, that if the players get a larger slice of the pie...the Scrutiny will tenfold what it is now.

Pretty much considering you attempted to portray the tweet was anything but unreasonable !

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
