The Appeal Board is NOW deliberating.

There is really nothing to deliberate - JVR was spoiling the ball. No strike to see here

i remain perplexed about this!

    Just saw on the news that Brad Green has been sanctioned by the AFL for his twitter comment into this ban! 😂

    The club has been asked to explain his criticism of the Tribunal on Twitter

     

    He should sue them for letting two thugs break his throat in a game

    I’m not that impressed with our rebuttal. I expected more. 
    Also where was the argument that this isn’t a strike? 

    To me that was the biggest 'error in law' in the whole proceeding. Can't believe it wasn't raised.

    Has Simon Goodwin been sent a "please explain" for his comments at his presser yesterday?

    Still bemused we made no mention that Ballard was not even injured in the whole incident.  

    Not one single mention.

    Easy fix for Brad, just send screenshot of all the head hits in spoils in the last 3 weeks. “Explain this AFL”

    Of course no criticism is ever allowed of the tribunal or umpires - untouchable. Thought Goody sailed pretty close to the wind in his presser. Good on them both.

    I haven’t heard or read a word of tonight’s proceedings but believe it needs to be overturned for game to continue properly. So I stick with upheld appeal.

    I feel like we came with a very weak argument, Dees lawyer kept referring to being protected by rule 18.3 or whatever it is but that is not where the AFL had issue, the main issue came from "lack of duty of care" would have been nice to have mentioned that he isn't injured, and it was a precaution and that Ballard also had an incident 30 mins prior.

    Yeah I think they dropped the ball big time with this one unfortunately. 

    The argument was pretty weak in general.

    How does it come to pass that you guys read it more clearly than the lawyers tasked with representing? (not a crack, just confused?)

    the degree of injury is an interesting discussion.

    He was injured in the sense that he was hit. That the hit did not cause a severe injury does not change the fact he was injured.

    Where things seem to have changed this year is that they are gauging the offence by its propensity to cause serious injury.

    This is a real circus

    I suspect the high impact grading would not likely change due to the potential for serious injury and that a downgrade to medium would still mean a 1 week sanction.

    We are quite right to argue that the rough conduct provisions do not apply to a legitimate spoil which is protected as per rule 18.3. This defense is clever in that if the AFL uphold the suspension then they are also saying a player could face suspension for marking the ball if he doesn't take reasonable care.

    So Red, why can’t it be as simple as showing the Fogarty spoil and then Jacob’s and asking wtf is different?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
