    This is what happens when you allow the concept of "interpretation" to creep into your rules and take hold. A totally bogus concept. What other sport entertains the concept of "interpretation" of its rules?

    Well, I interpret that the muppets the AFL pay stupid amounts of money to don't have a clue and should be sacked.

    That's my interpretation.

    Can Brad Green's response to Pls Explain simply refer the AFL to the Appeal Board decision?

    The Tribunal is not permitted to make [censored] up...!

    Seems that'll suffice

    The AFL would say that Brad's conduct reflects poorly on the AFL, to which Brad could include a second envelope stating that the AFL's conduct reflects poorly on the AFL.

    One other good thing is that the verdict allows us to play JvR and resist the temptation of playing TMac immediately after a return from injury.Ā

    brad green will probably be referred to the afl integrity unit who will recommend an independent hawthorn style inquiry.

    Reasons from Appeal Board chair Murray Kellam:

    Law 18.5 refers only to incidental contact and makes no mention of unreasonable contact.

    These laws and the drafting of them, in our view, support the contentions of the appellant (Melbourne) that law 18.5 must be read in its terms.

    We recognise that the concerns expressed by the Chair of the Tribunal about an extreme characterisation of incidental contact have validity and that concern is, in our view, well justified.

    However, that does not permit us to interpret rule 18.5 as containing additional words, or to introduce exceptions into the meaning of law 18.5, which is not supported by the text nor, as far as we can ascertain, the spirit and intention of law 18.5.

    It's not for this board to redraft the laws of Australian Football in circumstances whereby the meaning of the law is clear on the face of it.

    Accordingly, we conclude that ground one of the appellants notice of appeal succeeds. It's not necessary for us in those circumstances to determine ground two.

    Reading that, in my deepest and most considerate colonial voice, makes me laugh.Ā

    So seriously that took 4hrs tonight?Ā  They had like two days to get their heads around the issue.Ā  Or was it just all about the theatre?

    FFS

    Why couldn't they just get it right on Tuesday.Ā 

    These people should be sacked.Ā  Changed the argument and the logic to support the original flawed decision when it was shown to be a mistake from the start, now they just look like even bigger fools.

    They must have went out for a Parma and a few pints surely.....

    Cult legend status confirmed all in the space of a year.

    Arguably cost us the '63 Premiership.

    It was replayed in both Hawaii and San Fran Cisco which Melbourne won 2-0. That gave us the flag 2-1 on aggregate. A bit like Liverpool and A.C Milan in 2005.

    You are back in town @WalkingCivilWar?

    Ā 

    Back from the Gold Coast? I flew back early Sunday morning. Unlike some of the others I donā€™t make a week-long stay of it. A teenage boy eating only 2-minute noodles for a week is grounds for calling CPS. šŸ˜

    I not long ago arrived home from banner making. The train rides and long walk home were spent awaiting the verdict. Thank god for Demonland. šŸ’•

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
