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

Yeah I’m confused too.. are people watching this somewhere or making judgements purely on tweets? 
 

If it’s the latter I think it’s fair to say we have no idea what’s been said

30 minutes and counting

They have to 'appear' to be giving it serious consideration, whether that is the case or not

It’s not looking good. I imagine they’re trying to come up with a statement that won’t send the AFL community into meltdown. Again. 

yeah probably working out the wording.

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

Because this is an Appeal and we need to show legal errors, not other incidents missed.

Maybe 'Landers are far better lawyers.

the standard of the reporting blog certainly isn't what it used to be.

I suspect one needed to be there to understand the arguments in full.

In this day and age of voice generated text not to mention zoom no reason it's not more fully reported

Well, according to the AFL 2023 Tribunal Guidelines, unless something has been cited by the MRO (with or without penalty) it cannot be presented as evidence in a tribunal hearing. I'm not sure if the appeals process is bound by the same guidelines, but it could be.

Purely a guess on my behalf though.

So the example could/should have been presented in the first appeal?

I know you said you haven’t read the proceedings, but once you do I would be interested in your opinion of our defense. I’m not a lawyer but I wasn’t impressed. AFL seem to have made a stronger argument.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
