Before remembering they are playing Collingwood in Rd 23 I would have said throw the book at him.

    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?

    No

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

     

     

    Thank you

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

    Am pretty sure suspension only counts for H+A, after some shenanigans in finals 20 years ago.

    That makes sense.

    What's the penalty / cost for appealing tribunal verdicts? If there is no deterrent (eg extra week penalty), I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

    Wasting briefs time going there if they are just going to pick and choose who they want off.

    I just watched the hit for the first time, over which Leigh Matthews was on commentary saying - “I suspect that was incidental contact”. Wowee! Thugs never die I guess. Incidental of course to the fact he wanted to maim Ah Chee without having to look at the ball or make any attempt to take possession of it.

    No extra penalty, but a $5000 cost for the appeal.

    What are the rules in the case of an appeal?

    Don't they have to claim they have new evidence that wasn't already considered by the original tribunal?

    It's another really good question that no-one ever seems to have an answer for. I always thought they just get the lawyers involved and try to get off on technicalities but I'd really know diddly.

    The grounds for an appeal against a tribunal decision are extremely limited. A player can appeal on one or more of the following grounds:

     An error of law has occurred;

    The decision is so unreasonable that no tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it;

    The classification of the offence by the tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate;

    The sanction imposed by the tribunal was manifestly excessive or inadequate.

    Can't see how any of those would stand a chance of success.

    If this act had been done by a fringe player, I doubt if it would even have got as far as the tribunal.

    Re-posting this (nice work Dee-monic) to answer the questions raised above.

    Wasn't it a Brownlow Medalist too, and they found he had an extra finger that got in the way.

    So will that extra 5000 bucks cost them from recruiting another GWS player at the end of the season.

    ABC this morning reported its  a $5000 fine and an additonal week suspension, taking it to 3 weeks.

    Thus missing first final if they make it.  Hence the "...huge gamble..."  they are taking.

    Silly strategy IMO

    Phil Carman got a 2 weeks suspension missed the 1977 GF which was a draw and missed the replay as well!!  ....if my memory serves me correctly.

    Collingwood would have (rightly) tried to get the 2nd game rolled over to 1978 R1 but  no joy.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
