If Gleeson has resorted to "you should have tried to get out of the way" argument it can only be good for jacks chances.

Posted

His job is to provide a case where the player is guilty. He doesn't get to chose his cases, like a barrister would.

That's what the jury is for. The MRP effectively said "we don't know", and now it's up to the jury.

its not about choosing a case, any argument must have merit. What he proffers is ludicrous surely.

Is it this Gleeson ??

What would you argue, in his position?

I dont need to. I dont see that there IS one. This ought never have got this far. Its only the wimps of the MRP having no balls to nex it. It should have been seen for what it is an accidental crash and left it there. They are always looking for blame, for fault. Sometimes there is none and this is what should have transpired in so much as the MRP issuing a no case to answer, move long. etc.

Great case from the Dees. Highlighted he had no options.

The key was frame-by-frame footage showing he stopped striding when the ball bounced Lynch's way.

Great job by Viney under questioning.

I'll be shocked if he's guilty.

If its your job to offer a contrary view, you cant say "too hard, I got nothin'"

The Chairman seems to act in the role of a judge. This is a case which would be thrown out by the judge and the jury directed to acquit.

So you are criticising Gleeson for doing his job (offering an opposing case), but cannot even come up with a single argument if you were in his position?!

Gleeson's is clearly smarter than you are, because he did.

No expense spared video wise.

You called him a bozo. What is he supposed to do? In your world:

Gleeson: "I refuse to prosecute this case because I think he's innocent"

Demitriou: "You're fired"

If Gleeson thinks a footballer can, in 0.5 of a second, change direction sufficiently to avoid a collision then he's probably not that smart.

I think it is Crazy Guggenheim, used to be good mates with Joe the Bartender.

Well the jury has been out for a while, so maybe his case isn't as bad as you think.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
