Adrian Anderson to pass judgement on our Boys

[Demon Stalwart 255]

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 !!!

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.

[Juicebox 628]

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?

....i almost fell off my chair laughing!

[Adzman 2,154]

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.

Suspended Fines for Frawley & Petterd $2,500 each ! - AFL

Sanctions suspended for a period of two years.

Urrgh......

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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 !
