The satisfaction of knowing David slayed Goliath.

Typo

The rationale for overturning the conviction is epic, basically says:

 

dear AFL, you probably should’ve updated your laws to reflect what you want to happen, instead of trying to use a confused and innocent future-premiership CHF’s actions to do the job you should’ve probably done over summer.

Can someone send this great result to that young fella at the Suns !!!!!

 

The statement read by Kellam is a warning to the rest of the comp for an impending rule change in this area and this show was all about preparing us for the inevitable.

So they found that what we said on Tuesday night was correct.

So the reason is

The Tribunal is not allowed to make up rules that don't exist...

Ffs the Tribunal is a joke

The only ones celebrating harder than us are the lawyers whose picnic is full of caviar and Grange. 

At least get them Penfold. Support the sponsors.

Spot on. Appeals board rules that the Tribunal is not permitted to make up the rules as it goes along...

Grange is Penfold’s😀😀

Umpires relieved they wont have to make 10 reports per game this weekend.

Cudos to the Club for how they handled this. Did not back down and showed strong support to JVR. 

That will help culture and show the players they are always supported by their club and fans.

Don't underestimate how all of the boys would be feeling now, especially JVR.

Probably no better song to finish tonight off with.

Sad it took 2 hours to decide that

They didn’t get to rule on the second reason for appeal

In the words of Goodwin - The finding is unjust or the fabric of the game has changed. It was the first one Mr Goodwin.

But that’s the AFL’s modus operandi

Cam Pedersen got absolutely DESTROYED one game in a marking contest by an errant spoil from Daniel Merrett of the Brisbane Lions and I was livid when nothing came of it. It is now forgiven.

Don't mess with Joey

Jvr finally did get what he deserved

True-- But not once you let lawyers in on the action.

Hello old friend, I remember you from many close defeats snatched from the jaws of victory. 

now that’s settled let’s get on with trouncing the poos and pees by 120 points, we owe them multiple times over 

When I heard the good news I literally flexed like JVR did after he goaled against the tigers! 

Thank Lucifer

We have now moved up the pecking order somewhat.

At least the Appeal Board showed it is willing to act independently and saw this nonsense verdict and Wood's case for what it was.

And as for Woods....
