    The AFL is arguing that JVR injured Ballard. 
    Since when does free to play next week = injured?

    Woods (AFL): He needed to take care, he failed to take reasonable care and he injured another player and that was appropriately found to be careless.
     

    There was no definitive injury was there?

    He won't get off.

    This Woods guy is too much of a defence of duty of care for the player.

    Except nowhere in the law does it say that you have a duty of care when going to contest the ball. 
    Where is that specific law?

    Exactly. This [censored] used the words 'the rules explicitly require a duty of care'. Oh really. Which exact rules are these?

    Andrew Woods (AFL): If the AFL's proposition isn't accepted, the result is that players essentially have a blank cheque. They've got no obligation to take reasonable care of their fellow players, so long as their sole objective is a lawful action.

     

    Even if that is accepted, that only goes to them having a duty of care. Whether or not they breach that duty of care (i.e. fail to exercise reasonable care / act carelessly) then comes down to the reasonable person test. I would have thought the reasonable person test used by the Tribunal and its application to the fact can still be attacked.

    Surely we get a right of reply to this lying sack of [censored] making up rules and concocting imaginary injuries.

    That’s the dude doing the live reporting from the hearing. Not the actual lawyers.

    His only other choice was to not contest, the ball or the spoil.

    the standard of care would be quite high in the area of possible concussion so I'm not sure it helps

    The framing of the charge on grounds similar to a tortious complaint is perhaps a dangerous misconception in the area of a disciplinary tribunal.

    I see Houghton just made the same point...

    Houghton (Melbourne): This attempt to impose a regime of health and safety upon players when construing a rule like 18.5 is quite wrong.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.
