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

Maybe 'Landers are far better lawyers.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

Probably will increase to 4 weeks

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.

The difference is I'm not pretending to know at all how this works or what it means.

Please for the love of God now another reason for JVR not to be suspended.
