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

Duty of care. Where was it when a player kicked the ball off the ground breaking another player’s finger?  

Miss spoiling the ball by 0.8 of a second and they are suggesting you were going for the man.

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 Charge should be withdrawn. 

I think it’s the correct spelling and pronunciation of his name. 

 

Just BTW friends - do not be too concerned if deliberations take some time. Does not necessarily mean difficulty arriving at a decision. May mean Tribunal members determined a verdict in 30 seconds and are having a scotch to assist the 'optics'.

Yep, there's a lot of kick in danger that is never paid. 


so the spoil is legal unless you allegedly take your eyes off the ball for 0.8 of a second

As Mr Bumble said.. the law is an [censored]

The laws don’t apply to Geelong players. 
Take your nonsense elsewhere.

No no………Clarrie would be charged with striking Duckwood’s boot.

Not sure if it has the same ring to it as

Either way both ridiculous reports

Where was duty of care when Hawkins threw and elbow back into Mays eye socket, With such force it broken his eye socket bone. Seriously? They have no idea how to apply civil law principles to a sport. It’s just plain dumb, if I tackle someone, is it reasonably foreseeable that they might get injured? Absolutely? Do I breach a duty of care? No, because the act is permitted in the sport. Is the spoil permitted - yes! There is no question that was his intent. So is it within rules, yes! It’s the biggest jog on case of all time! And that’s not hyperbole. It wasn’t even careless. It was a play on the ball.

Because Jim, the septic tanks ( in their inimitable way) use the name of a braying animal to describe the derriere .

S'pose to be writing an essay - cannot focus.

 

If it’s based on the flaws of the MRO, don’t worry about an essay…………..it would be a thesis.

Kids whenever they have to wait for anything for longer than 1.3 seconds….right?!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
