Patrick Cripps FREE to play

[Tony Tea 2,804]

In these situations I usually bet on the player getting off, and I still reckon he'll get off. He has too many votes this season to allow an asterisk on Brownlow night.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Its going very very slowly, nearly two hour in now. Not much news coming out in the blog.

[Tony Tea 2,804]

Oh, and purely on the less cynical merits of the offence itself, I reckon there's wiggle room for his people to win the case.

This has to be the longest appeal process ever. 

[DubDee 24,440]

What a farce

hopefully the appeals run out by Saturday!

Probably consulting the Privy council or the House of Lords

i wonder how long this objection took to cover "In a different era that would not have resulted in a report."   lol

Clubs should cop an extra week for wasting everyone’s time if not successful.

There should be a disincentive and risk to appeal a tribunal call if it’s just a matter of trying to get your best player to play on the Saturday.

Just go to the AFL site but there is still not much going up.

Is this like a filibuster? Are they intending to just talk until Saturday so he can play?

Probably at least twice that chook.

The government should step in and do something about this, it's a joke.

[DubDee 24,440]

Siri - give me the definition of an elbow to the head when the player has his back turned

Siri - cheap shot, knocked the bloke out

case closed

[Macca 16,644]

If he gets off it's going to set a very big precedent

The ball would only have to be in the vicinity and then it could be carte blanche

With CarlScum demanding compo for Jones I guess they are seeking compo and damages from the MRO and tribunal for besmirching Cripps’ reputation.

Like all good lawyers, he’s paid by the sentence
