    why was there no argument about the severity of contact being downgraded from high

    must say i thought the arguments were pretty thin

    i could've thought of a lot of things to challenge

    As for the reasonable test, what sort of precedent does it establish if his suspension is upheld? 

    No sort of precedent. The AFL doesn't do precedent. Within two weeks, someone will do exactly what JvR did and won't be cited.

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

    Back in the day you weren't allowed to criticise Josef Stalin either. In more modern times, it's Putin. Green shouldn't stray too near any windows.

    For those saying our legal argument doesn't seem strong, I wouldn't necessarily take Zita's tweets as encompassing our whole argument. On Tuesday he said they were just arguing semantics, and it was actually the whole premise of the AFL's argument re: the interpretation of the rule. Pretty important stuff, you'd think

    Exactly, the moon doesn't rotate unless the appeal board tells it too, as duty of care is an extrapolation of the rule, and not explicitly stated.

    What, specifically, is the moon? As a point of law, I mean.

    100%, and if our arguments weren’t considered strong, we have a decision by now!

    Great point, I imagine Zita's understanding of law limits what he can actually understand and remember.

    We mostly understand what a so called "duty of care" means in a legal sense - the ability to foresee the outcome of potentially hazardous actions and the duty to avoid those actions. Overwhelmingly, there is time and space to consider actions that might fall under that duty.

    How could this possibly translate to a dynamic, fast moving and physical contact sport where decisions and actions are made in microseconds? It can't.

    Only a genius lawyer could concoct such an argument. It's garbage in this instance.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
