What a ridiculous system. The MRO is pointless. Gets appealed then tribunal is held and then that can be appealed?? Cmon guys we can do better. That’ll be 4 assessments of the one incident.

    Remind me to take off ten throws, six shoves in the back two umpire kisses, each, and two half time and four general umpire conversations, three swaggers, two stagers and one pirouette. Then add it on again.

    I am still betting on him getting off.

    Of Carlton put this much effort into winning games of footy they might not be in this precarious position where they're odds on to finish 9th!

    What a joke 

    He should get 3 weeks for challenging the decision 

    As the Tribunal said : 

    Tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson said the incident fell into the "bumping of an opponent" category and it was not a reasonable way to contest the ball.

    "He entered the contest at speed and saw a player in his peripheral vision, left his feet and bumped Ah Chee at high speed," Gleeson said.
     
    "He should have contested the ball differently. He could have taken the ball with his arms outstretched so there was no act of bumping at all."
     
    QED.

    Carlton argued Cripps didn’t see Ah Chee in his peripheral vision. He was straight in front of him FFS! Clearly smashed a bloke half his side to fire up his team

    Clubs usually have until 12pm Wednesday to appeal a tribunal decision, heard on the radio Carlton were given until 5pm today because their representative/lawyer was in court today.

    To me it looks like Crapps has the Brownlow sewn up and it wold be an enormous embarrassment to Gil on Brownlow night if he couldn't claim the medal.

    Prepare for an acquittal and an apology.

    Has barely polled a vote since the bye. He won’t even be top 3.

    If he gets suspended I see this playing out until Thursday night. 
    2 weeks today, challenge at the Tribunal Tuesday night where the ban is upheld and finally to the appeals board Thursday.

    Mate are you a fortune teller? Fair call on that.

    Maybe it’s my MFCSS, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets off, plays against us, is BoG and we lose. It would just be very Melbourne.

    Of course he saw him , That's why he jumped in the air.

    IIRC... The MRO/Tribunal/Appeals Board mechanisms protect AFL from these cases being take to courts and potentially having a court grant injunctive relief for a period of time nullifying suspension (IE wait until season over until hearing appeal)

    I'm sure Lawyers on here can comment with more knowledge than I on this matter.

    So appeals board is effectively last chance saloon

  • Quote

    Didn’t see him is a laughable defense. If he didn’t see him, why did he even jump in the air? Why didn’t he extend his arms and attempt to grab the ball from the air? Why didn’t he extend his arms to spoil the ball? Why did he turn his body and put weight behind his shoulder? 

    If he gets off, then the precedent is set; bumps to the head that knock out opponents are fair game.

    No way he should get off.

    Question: if Cripps’ suspension gets extended and Carlton gets knocked out of the H&A season, as the extension will roll into next year would he be ineligible for next year’s Brownlow?

    It's a good question, I'd say it should. Unless they factor in the stupid pre season games.

    Pretty sure a suspended player is only ineligible for the season in which the offence occurs.

    • 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?
