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.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
