The Jack Viney bump that never was!

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?

 

Is it this Gleeson ??

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.

The NRL must look and laugh at us sometimes.

 

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.

I understand this stance. My point is if you cant 'reason' dont. He had nothing.. Makes it farcial...as it is

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.

did he... He should have got out of the way ?? ffs like saying the train should have avoided the truck !! get real ffs

Its Great to see Roosy there supporting Viney.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
