The best answer to “you looked at Ballard” would be “ of course I did, I wanted to make sure I limited contact with him, that is my duty of care”.

I would guess they'd respond with something like - 

AFL - "So you thought you'd likely make contact but elected to continue?"

 

Clearly JVR is smarter than the 3 baboons representing the AFL. Sounds about right. Well done young man.

Who is this Woods? His statement is moronic. 

Woods obviously knows absolutely nothing about the reality of the AFL game. It is a 'contact' sport....


This whole “you looked at him for 0.3 seconds makes you guilty” is just the dumbest argument I’ve heard. 
If players don’t look over at their opponent in play, can you imagine how many horrific head clashes and other impact injuries we’d see every week?! 
Are players meant to play blind?

I like the strategy of using the AFL’s rules against them. 🤣

Yes but what about the vibe!

That ought to mean that Chairman Gleeson says, Enough. Not guilty. Next !

Which is still within the rules

Oh of course it is. I don't think JVR has anything to answer here, it's one of the stupidest MRO gradings I think I've seen in a while.

I just think that if he said something like what was above the AFL would play it off as "well you knew you'd make contact so you've breached your duty of care."

I'm kind of glad he answered how he did.

And you’d say: “yes I play contact sport. I also tackle opponents when I know it will result in contact”.

Correct...JVR is also allowed to take into account the laws of physics and flight and nearly 20 years of catching balls.


... was to guess where the ball was going to land ... Wow!! Are they trying to outlaw spoils along with the bump??

guess? Get out the protractor and ruler boys!!

7. He clearly tried, and largely succeeded, to minimise the impact and avoid putting Ballard into next week. Exercised exemplary duty of care. No mean feat at all given the speed and direction (ie with the flight of the ball) he was travelling.

I don’t like how long this is taking. It should be clear cut in JVR’s favour.


Anderson is my new fave person in the world 😘

Van Reeyen is clearly guilty and this is a case of mistaken identity.

 

also - onya Angry Anderson for stating that if he hadn’t tried to spoil, he would not be a reasonable AFL footballer 😂

It's not the length of the legal arguments to be concerned about - it's the length of the Tribunal's deliberations that count.

Fair point, QD.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
