Nathan Schmook:
Gleeson says they could impose a penalty between 1-3 weeks taking in all of the factors of this case.

LOL. It's almost as if Gleeson knows that it was a complete accident and they shouldn't give him 3-4 weeks.

This is an utter disgrace, but is anyone really surprised? We know the system is broken and drastically slanted against the player.

Excuse my ignorance - to whom does one appeal?

I think there is an Appeals Board that hears appeals from players dissatisfied with tribunal hearings.

We must appeal.

Good for us or not. How does this have any issue here?

Generally to appeal this sort of decision you need to come up with new evidence that wasn't considered.

According to 2012 information, which AFAIK hasn't changed, the grounds for appeal are:

  • Error in law.
  • That the decision was so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it.
  • Classification of offence manifestly excessive.
  • Sanction imposed manifestly excessive.

The second one is important here; the third may also be relevant (i.e. to call this 'rough conduct' is 'manifestly excessive'). Not sure how to argue the first one in the circumstances of a jury making a decision (juries are fact finders).

Any chance those cap cheating [censored] in Adelaide would provide some position support to the appeal? Doubtful. Bunch of pricks.

If he gets one week will he be in line for a reprimand?

As far as I know, the Tribunal can impose any penalty, not just the one the MRP may have imposed. So he could get a reprimand even if they think it's negligent/high impact/all that crap.

No chance. Dangerfields '6-goals' sore head says hello unfortunately.

I think we throw 15 thousand pink marshmallows on the field Saturday night in case the players fall over.

Pink and white, the white for gutlessness.

Agree, the second part is the big issue. No reasonable person, on being presented with the evidence, could make that ruling. Clearly there has been a miscarriage of justice and an appeal must be lodged.

On the basis of the decision, they can't just reprimand. That would make it clear the whole thing was a show trial.

Dean Kent might be suspended tonight too, and hed be the logical replacement for Viney

we really are cursed

Roos has been doing everything different to his predecessors

His predecessors were fond of sitting on your hands and not standing up for what's right in situations like this.

Why are we surprised? The AFL have a (shameful) history of singling-out our Club for rough justice when it suits them to change rule interpretations (Trengove, tanking, priority picks, etc). Can anyone imagine this outcome if it was a 'filth' player involved? It stinks like s*#t!

if he is pinged, bit odd.

He was almost stationary when it happened, the Adelaide player and georgiou were moving faster at the point of contact, he didn't jump, he didn't raise an elbow, he was making a contest for the ball, he had no other path to take.

If players can't do that, the game is becoming more ands more a non contact sport. Basketball is rougher.

I understand lynchs jaw is broken as a result of the collision, but it looks like a coincidental collision.

Doubt viney would've purposely lined him up if he knew georgiou was so close behind.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
