“The finding was unreasonable and did not comply with the requirements of procedural fairness,” said the appeals board chairman Murray Kellman.

What the hell does that mean? 

The finding accepted both players were contesting the ball, but then went on to say Cripps should have acted differently...

The finding was flawed

Can't say he was acting within the rules and then say... but... wasn't....

Tribunal error

There can no longer be any doubt The AFL is a corrupt organisation.

They should offer workshops to The Bandidos, Comancheros  et el to improve their corporate performance.

[censored] me ! Why stop there, go international - I'm sure the generals in Myanmar could learn a thing or two from the experts!

 

This is now beyond a joke. The AFL is  a powerful  billion dollar organisation. Surely there need to be some sort of judicial enquiry into their governance.

This is what tipped you off? Of all things? 

Anyone who has gone remotely close to them in corporate Melbourne knows it. Its a milk bar being run by your uncle's best mates ' mates and the boys. Truthfully the entire industry is a house of cards that rests on 4 very large invoices

Precedent set

No it hasn't. No decision made by the tribunal in this Gillon era sets any precedent, no matter how ludicrous. The next similar case goes the other way.

There is no such thing as precedent in the AFL tribunal system. It's a roll of the dice, every time, dressed up in judicial legalese claptrap.

Took the words right out of my mouth corruption is alive and well in the AFL, they really want them to play finals these corrupt dogs.

All the ammunition we need lets just send them packing the good old fashioned way on the MCG.

I think you are missing the point.

I am sure they have found he contested, not bumped.

Paddy Ryder who stood still and had a player run into him and get whiplash, copped two weeks.

He should sue.

This is probably the worst part of it all. The person who should get off doesn’t. The two who should bar gotten suspended in Cripps and Rioli get off. .

I hope Gillon and his merry men are going to deliberate for 4.5 hours tonight to work out how and why they let overblown legalse hijack their tribunal system.

Left the ground, head high contact, concussion. But it's complicated.

There needs to be an uprising. Enough is enough and we are merely puppets on a string. 

I agree with this. I've been p*ssed off with the game of AFL for years and have several times stated that the only reason I continue to follow is because of my irrational attachment to the MFC.

I don't even like watching a lot of game, sometimes even when we're in them, because of ll the throwing, umpires choosing which subset of rules they'll apply each week, etc etc.

Of course our magnificent flag has rejuvenated my enthusiasm.

But let's face it, overall, the game is [censored]ed.

Carlton fans thinking having Cripps back will be the difference between winning or losing, they should prepare to get smashed

Whatever Nev. 

Whatever I or anyone else said, you would think the complete opposite.

I don’t recall the Ryder incident, what year was this?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
