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.

But how could they make that big of error unless something was bought to their attention after it was too late.

Perhaps it is why McRae was silent on the matter this arvo on Andy and Hazey SEN.

ahh the pendulum of indecision

phd theses have been written on these things

Yes, Academic Incest. Life is not a pendulum: it's a matter of consciousness and using your the senses and intuition and experience to help you navigate though life. It's like the term 'Cognitive Dissonance' which is an academic term which refers to people who will never change their minds, no matter what evidence is presented...

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. 

Do you actually think that will happen though? The AFL will just forget about this like they do every other contentious decision when it suits.

If this were September does anyone really think it gets to this point? The AFL is the Absolute Farce League.

I've been thinking of how we can voice our frustration should this last appeal be upheld too. 

My suggestion: A minute before bouncedown at the next game (there are timers on the scoreboard, aren't there?), ... all Demon ... or for that matter, any football supporter with a brain ... wave their scarf (or any "fabric" ... thank you Goody!!!) in circles, while shouting: "Rrroooooooooooooooo!!!

Straightfoward, relevant, and simple enough for the AFL to get the message.

It would not be appropriate for the following Sir Doug Nicholls Round, as much as I would like to see a protest for the duration of Rooyen's penalty.

Traction anyone? Or other suggestions? Its all just in case!!

The Walls of Jericho will come tumbling down...that'll show 'em!

This Tweet

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 can just say he was observing his duty of care towards jacon von rooyen

If this was a Geelong player does anyone really think this would even be cited?

But on this precedent you don’t need to actually injure the player. The act itself, if it doesn’t show a duty of care, is sufficient to be reported.

Gone well past the average time now, maybe they want to sit until after Saturdays game and get one week out of this farce.

I don't think it will be every time, but I think it gives the AFL the opportunity to pick and choose when they want to enforce this.

Yea that's why I said "injure." I responded to someone that explained the "injury" part well IMO

[leave it to deever 16,550]

Which ever way this pans out, our club has done the right thing in fighting this for once.

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've been known to slip into an afterthought in my time. But I digress......

Well it's not actually in the rules, so precedent or not, any player could be rubbed out at any time, for anything
