If this was a bigger name player would the result be the same?

Wow I thought maybe 1 week but 2 come on.

He didn't even concuss him

AFL 360 are going nuts about it. Gerard and even Robbo cannot believe it

Not watching but can hear Robbo struggling to string together a coherent sentence and for once fully understanding what's going on in his head.

Wait a minute- was this was just the regular tribunal hearing because we didn't accept the 2 week offer? So is there still scope for an appeal of this decision? Get Cripps's QC on the case.

Yeah, we can appeal again 

Just now, Roost it far said:

Can you appeal this ?

Think there is an Appeals Board.

Total BS

We need that silk Carlton used to get Cripps off. Get him on the phone immediately.

Unbelievable!

Do NOT roll ovef Melbourne. 

This is the moment to grow up.

Stop being a doormat

Filth wouldn't accept this.... theyd be pushing their media barrows out already.

 

Club needs to come out right now and say “This is a [censored] farce and we are [censored] appealing this”

Warm up the lungs for some serious booooooos on Saturday arvo Dees fans. Boo everything. 

Wow that’s [censored]….

ANY attempt to spoil where you collect someone high must be deemed two weeks from now on by the AFL logic

100% no one else will ever get this suspension again. Melbourne will forever be known as the precedent setter. 

He'll win on appeal.  To uphold this verdict means that any "reasonable" player defending by punching the ball from behind and hitting Max Gawn or any player playing in front in the head, ear, jaw etc will be suspended.  There will be nobody left playing.  Gleeson's premise is absurd.

Think the appeal is a whole 5k isnt it?

Anyone got the AFL Law book handy? What are our options? Injunction at law? Serious.

 

Que Mr Leg

As bad as it is for us as a team if we don't appeal again, and hopefully get JvR off then the AFL has just set a ridiculous new precedent that will alter the way the game is played, scary stuff.

I hope we go to the appeals board. What [censored] clowns sit on that board? More lawyers who have never played football in their life?

I cannot understand why MFC had Adrian Anderson appear.

While i believe he is a lawyer and was big in the AFL, surely a bigwig barrister might have been worth it

Honestly thought this would be a formality because the AFL could not possibly soften the brand in this manner.

I’m stunned

what is going on with the MRO. Seriously. Non sensical decision.

Imagine how many players that hit Gawny every week will get rubbed out!

My guess is none

Must appeal

 

Booooooooooooooo

100% this ☝🏼

A terrible decision at so many levels.

Is anyone going to show the Chol decision ?
