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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
