Meth Coast's QC at the Schofield appeal has argued that Clarrie's sore jaw was from a seperate incident when Clarrie's jaw hit Schofield's back, but then didn't have any footage of said incident!

Not that it matters as based on the previous decision tonight even if he gets found guilty he'll be offered minus 2 games!

Jesse had some  victim cards to pull but he chose not to.

Cant remember him K O ing anyone either.

But racism is to blame in this case.

Thats the important message .

Yeah!!

The Afl stopped racism!!!

Hooray!!

Edit- end rant. read Nashers post- my point is more what constitutes as bona fide evidence at the MRP.

 

And, what, pray tell, is that? The MRP is a law unto itself. All the boa fides against Selwood would not have counted because Jimmy B would have exonerated him anyway. Nathan Burke more or less confessed that the MRP tries its darndest to get players 'OFF'. Unless, they wear Demon Guernseys, apparently.

What we need to do is stack the MRP with ex Melbourne players who will exonerate their mates no matter what the 'Bona Fides' are.

Now Meth Coast QC arguing if Oliver was hurt, he wouldn't have got up and tried to retaliate.

The panel was used as a political stage and the outcome was skewed because of it.

He had an excuse,a PM and a Logie winner  for an on field matter.

The next possible such case might claim a " wild Irish temper"  and the death of a childhood pet at a young age that spurs occasions of fisticuffs from some poor lad who decked someone on the field.

After allowing Basher Bachar to get away with 2 for KOing an opponent, it will be hard for the tribunal to do Schofield for more than 1 - it would be so inconsistent -> so it will probably be 4, to maintain their record.

So are the AFL going to ask for character references for every incident now, just in case he's a good bloke?

 

Apparently it makes all the difference.  Does that mean if Dusty fronts, Mme Chopsticks will be called and he will get 20 weeks?

Well, unless you're a Muslim, it works in our Penal system.How often do lawyers plead their client was under the influence of drugs, therefore not responsible for their actions?

Tribunal Farce continues: Schofield found not guilty!!!

Is this April 1st?   So basically they are saying that Oliver is a stager.  They have impugned his character forever.  Unforgivable.

Really, if our Dees were going as they had been the past decade, I would be right out of AFL altogether.  It is a sham!!

Based on tonight's tribunal results they are screaming out for clubs to appeal so they can sit and be paid and will happily overturn the long standing interpretations of the MRP.

So elbows are worth 0 and clean KO's just the 2. 

Tommy Bugg, go to work on Kennedy and Franklin, you'll be back way before the finals, have fun.

The AFL continues to display the qualities of a true banana republic. Pseudo intellectuals, co-opted legal counsel all supported by a psychophantic media scrum. The people's game no more. Nothing feels or smells even half OK by the extraordinary events of the last 5 hours.

Well the message here tonight is appeal, appeal, appeal.

Clearly this years Tribunal is as lenient as it's ever been.  Up until now everyone has been too scared to not plead guilty.

It all seems simple to me.

If you are a Melbourne player you get multiple weeks.

If you complete an offence against a Melbourne player you get off.

If you are about to,play Melbourne you get off.

If you are high in the Brownlow speculation you willl

 get off. 

I know I am quoting myself but the verdict tonight is further proof. Yes now you can elbow a Melbourne player and it is his fault. Yes the agreesor is the victim and the player on the pointy end of the elbow is the villain. The media has set agendas but it always seems Melbourne is on the receiving end.

Basically they are saying

1/ the umpire is a liar

2/ Oliver is a liar

3/ the MFC doctor is a liar

4/ Schofield is a victim

Geez I hate the AFL HQ, and their front, Gill more than I thought I could ever do.

Just who was on the tribunal tonight? Ex players who believe in the old code and let Schofield off. Tonight made no sense both for Houli or Schofield to get off so lightly, perhaps Houli getting 2 meant they couldn't give Schofield the same penalty.

I think we all believe that a Melbourne player would not have been dealt with so leniently. I think even less of West Coast with their defence belittling both Clarry and the umpire who laid the report. The MRP have no credibility

It would have been better if that elbow had removed a tooth from Clarry's Jaw for his case. 

Sad that once again the AFL has double standards. 

Why be an Umpire????

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
