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

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

    Yes if allowed which I think Gleeson generally doesn’t. I am not sure on that though.

    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.

    That's why I think its such an important case, if we lose then it doesn't matter if you take mark of the year if you concuss the "injure" to any extent as you've said the guy in front of you, your done.

    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. 

    Will do, I am out for dinner. Soon as I get home. Japanese delicious.

    I've just come out of my own tribunal - so haven't been able to read all tonight's pages.

    1. Who's sitting on the Tribunal?
    2. Who is representing the parties?

    Yes if allowed

    I think not. The AFL has a list of "reportable offences" with which videos can be requested to use as evidence and you can present videos of similar offences that have been cited or explained by the MRO.

    Apart from that I believe it's a no go.

    Quote

    The Player or Tribunal Counsel may rely before the Tribunal on any incident contained in that AFL Season’s prescribed video examples (refer Schedule 2) that is said to be comparable to the incident in respect of which the Player is charged or otherwise relevant to a matter in issue. The prescribed video examples are examples only and the Tribunal is not bound by any previous decision of a Tribunal with respect to a vision example

    and

    The Player or Tribunal Counsel may also seek leave to rely on video examples of incidents charged by the MRO and/or determined by the Tribunal, and incidents which were not charged by the MRO but for which a public explanation was provided by the MRO as to why no charge was laid, within the same season as the relevant incident which are truly comparable to the incident in question. Where the Player or Tribunal Counsel seeks to rely on a video example of an incident which is not truly comparable, the Chairperson may either refuse leave to rely on it, or grant leave and instruct the Tribunal Panel members to disregard it.

    and

    The Tribunal will not receive video evidence of any other incidents.

    Wouldn't want to be able to point out the ridiculousness of the system would we? :D

    Problem is, it is not necessarily so, After the Kosi incident I was hoping all "potential injuries" would be cited, but they don't follow up with like type incident reports. it seems make a scapegoat of this incident and then everything goes back to the way it was.

    Your priorities are the same as my wifes. Dog first, children second. And sometimes as an afterthought me. 

    Exactly the pecking order in my family.  My husband is a hawk.  If a disaster happens on Saturday afternoon, he will be lucky to even slip into an afterthought.

    I think that's the way it will end up but I think it sets a precedent that if they want they can. I also think they are going at us so hard because they absolutely dropped the ball with the Fogarty incident.

    Anyone who doesn’t have their dog on top of pecking order is a psychopath.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
