I hate Adrian Anderson for initiating the tanking investigation but he’s making a good case. 

I couldn't quite figure out why Angry was looming large from my sub-conscious to my consciousness tonight @Fat Tony. Now you've just traumatized me.

    Didn’t Adrian Anderson get Fritsch off in 2021?

    Updates seem to have eased off. Are they deliberating now?

    You are very fickle.

    You do know that Anderson has lost most of his Tribunal appearances.

    He was also the bloke that started the Tanking investigation against us.

    Problem is you're dealing with shifty bloody afl smart-arses. All they want to do is justify their coin, remind minions of their position. 

    The questioning is designed to trap

    They are ( insert derogatory term of preference) x 10

    Even Dennis Denuto would have a hard time in the farce that is the AFL tribunal system. It's the vibe.

    When i saw we had Adrian Anderson on board I thought great the dees are throwing everything at this appeal.

    Good to see.

    JVR has covered himself in glory with his responses tonight. Well done young man.

    Semantics! No injury, incidental contact in play. What semantics? Charge should be withdrawn.

    It makes me wild when the AFL bang on about the duty of care. It’s 44 blokes running around full tilt trying to compete and win the ball, yet they speak like he’s a manager of a company deciding to skimp on the PPE.

    Get the lawyers out of the process. Their litigation is ridiculous. 
     

    Resolve cases via 3 reps who have actually played the game.

    No biggy. I change my fave person in the world more often than you change your socks. (Hadda clean that one up. The word rhymes with socks but aren’t worn on your feet. Well, they can be, buts that’s just weird.) 🤭

    The real question is what are the optics and can the AFL live with a "not guilty" whatever the actual facts are. 

    Player A, runs into player B who goes off on a stretcher. Bad optics...AFL want to look good. Money, advertising etc.

    Just said the same to a mate. They are trying to apply civil law principles to a contact sport. There is a voluntary assumption of risk that comes with plying this game. The duty of care argument is a bunch of bulldust. You could argue that the duty of care is breached in every tackle. The aim of the act is to physically challenge an opponent. It’s just outrageous

    Interesting, they wanted a downgrade to medium, but it’s almost like they’re pushing that it was now incidental

    The only want it downgraded if it doesn't get thrown out.

    Facts and justice occasionally overlap @Wells 11.

    What about the optics of punishing players for making legitimate attempts to contest the ball in a contact sport?

    Him not getting off would have bigger consequences than if the charges are dropped.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
