Oh great, just great.

If anyone deserves to be suspended, it's that low-life snipper. Who the hell needs evidence when it comes to Josh Carr? Of course he hit someone, it's second nature to him! :rolleyes:

I guess with half our midfield out injured, and the other half filling holes up forward and down back, he can line up on Godfrey and Godfrey can hopefully whack him one back! :P

That does it. Bring in Byron. Buy him a big maccas breakfast. Give him orders that for the day he's not to look at the pill, just make a beeline for anything named Carr. We'll still lose, Byron won't play for 8 weeks, but by gee there'll be some fireworks.

Hang on a minute.

The tribunal found that"... Mr. Chick's evidence was unconvincing..."

They must be doing something right.

That's legalise for someone's lying and we know who.

I could never see this getting up. No video evidence, no report by the umpire. Reported on Chick's say so....

I imagine the proceedings went something like this....

Chick: He punched me in the Ribs!

Carr: Did Not!

Chick: Did Too!

Carr: Did Not!

Chick: Did Too!

Carr: Did Not!

Chick: Did Too!

Carr: Did Not!

Chick: Did Too!

Carr: Drugo!

Selwood cleared

Headland cleared due to 'exceptional' circumstances, or something.

Headland will play this weekend and probably will cop it.

Selwood was always going to be cleared, it really was their only option given the "he said-he said" state of the argument, with no corroborating evidence.

But Headland still hit him, on numerous occasions, so why is he clear to play?

They have just condoned his violent reaction and said that if someone says something mean to you, you can beat the crap out of them.

Worse still, if someone gives you a bit of lip, and you mishear them, then it's ok to smack them repeatedly.

Even worse than that, the next time a player is sledged, he can go ahead and take a baseball-bat to the guys head and when the tribunal comes to them and asks "why?" he can say "I thought he said my Mum was ugly... but that's ok. Misunderstanding. I'll just hand him back his jaw and we'll forget the whole thing..."

The AFL is run by a bunch of scared little men.

Instead of tackling this issue head on, they swept it under the rug by clearing both parties and wiping their hands clean without a guilty conscience.

They've done the same with drugs, player depression, they've even managed to stuff up 150 year old rules. :rolleyes:

If they can't get a simple 'hands in the back' rule correct, what hope have they got of dealing with bigger, more concerning issues?

But here's the stupidest part, by trying to get rid of this issue, they've opened up an even bigger can of worms. How long before a player pleads not guilty on the count of his victim's offensive sledging?

What an absolute joke!

Seems Headland was exceptionally provoked by words that didn't exist, if I am to correctly read the outcome of both cases. :wacko:

Well said Jaded.....

Upset Eagle cleared

by: Paul Gough

........But despite not accepting Headland's version of events, the jury still did not impose the six-match suspension on Headland that

he was facing for the resultant two striking charges against Selwood.

Instead he is clear to play this week, despite being found guilty of one striking charge and for wrestling Selwood after the

jury ruled there were 'exceptional and compelling circumstances' behind his actions.........

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
