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

    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.

    What would you argue, in his position?

    Two most famous of Jackie Gleason's signature lines were " POW! RIGHT ON THE KISSER" and " I'M GONNA SEND YA RIGHT OVER THE MOOOOOOOON"

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
