Cox and May incidents virtually identical.  May gets a week at the Tribunal.  Cox gets off...downgraded to a fine...

We should be so lucky!

 

It ain't luck, baby...It's fu.k.ng bul.[censored].

Cox says he was bracing for contact and the tribunal say he wasn't looking at the victim. He was looking at the victim alright and collected him. Cox was bracing for contact because he knew the 'target ' was coming. Target duly goes down. 

Bit soft really but the initial decision to suspend was probably correct. Why should anyone be surprised about the backflip. The AFL is totally corrupt!!!!

And for a long time PD.  I have very little regard for it any longer.  All outcomes such as these are manufactured / massaged / tampered with to ensure the big names and favoured clubs receive special treatment and aren't impacted to the degree of us lessor lights.  They are given a huge advantage when all the favouritism is added up over the season/s, including the FIXture.

This has been going on since the old  zone days in the late 60s when the initial idea was for each club to share the zones equally and change to a new zone over rolling 3 year periods (or thereabouts) until certain clubs in the then VFL realised they were on a winning zone vs the others.  They then reneged on the initial agreement and voted to keep their initial zones.  The result was the clubs thats kept the better zones got the cream of the crop over many years and built themselves a dynasty while the rest got the scraps and ended up the poor cousin as a result.

The cheating is and has been embedded and rusted on from VFL days and continues through to this very day.

Lets face it.
He's a big boy and should be able to look after himself.

By the way, I notice Clarkson is seeking clarification on a number of decisions made against his precious side on the weekend. No one calls him out for bleating.

Squeaky wheels get the oil.
Eddie knows this well too.

Tribunal must make their decisions with a dart board.

Just wanted, on behalf of Brayshaw Boys and T Bugg to extend my heartless thanks to the "old farts club" at Fox, and the rest of the BS  thoughtless Media fraternity, for celebrating (yes CELEBRATING is among the words being used) the return of W C's A Gaff.

I cant see any difference between May and Cox incidents other than Cox is a popular player, being an American.

Spot on!

But while the AFL will never admit they got it wrong ( like the AFLW season and its conference system) I think the next Melbourne player to front the tribunal will have a "more favourable" decision go their way as pay back.

Gaff is a great player who made an awful mistake and paid dearly for it. Vilifying him for the remainder of his career does nothing for anyone, especially since Brayshaw himself has clearly moved on and has forgiven him.

Don’t think it works that way.

They're making a statement to May...  and an example with May. 

May is quite casual about putting on heavy hits that wound.  IMO, that was the difference...  although he missed the head.   should have been fined for rough play.  end of story.

Agreed,  the surrounding circumstances make it more understandable.

Pressure will be on the tribunal to be consistent if Cox appeals. Very similar to the May incident.

Classic example of the value of Christian to theFilth's interests. Different team, different result. All is happy. Poor guy, Cox, didn't have a correct baptism to Aussie rules. Now, who does he play for? XXXXXXXXX - your kidding?

I'll put it in clearer English next time.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
