I hate Adrian Anderson for initiating the tanking investigation but he’s making a good case. 

I couldn't quite figure out why Angry was looming large from my sub-conscious to my consciousness tonight @Fat Tony. Now you've just traumatized me.

It's not the length of the legal arguments to be concerned about - it's the length of the Tribunal's deliberations that count.

Updates seem to have eased off. Are they deliberating now?

Speaking of deliberation, the book is open.

Over/Under set at 21.5 minutes. Place your bets.

I thought I was.

You are very fickle.

You do know that Anderson has lost most of his Tribunal appearances.

He was also the bloke that started the Tanking investigation against us.

Problem is you're dealing with shifty bloody afl smart-arses. All they want to do is justify their coin, remind minions of their position. 

The questioning is designed to trap

Even Dennis Denuto would have a hard time in the farce that is the AFL tribunal system. It's the vibe.

When i saw we had Adrian Anderson on board I thought great the dees are throwing everything at this appeal.

Good to see.

JVR has covered himself in glory with his responses tonight. Well done young man.

Semantics! No injury, incidental contact in play. What semantics? Charge should be withdrawn.

It makes me wild when the AFL bang on about the duty of care. It’s 44 blokes running around full tilt trying to compete and win the ball, yet they speak like he’s a manager of a company deciding to skimp on the PPE.

Hey @Redleg. Must admit, I too was a bit hurt by @WalkingCivilWar's comment.

I'm just annoyed we didn't stump up for the Carlton lawyer... I hear he's good at the tribunal thing!

The AFL’s arguments are deranged. Reeks of people who haven’t played football ever. 

Get the lawyers out of the process. Their litigation is ridiculous. 
 

Resolve cases via 3 reps who have actually played the game.

No biggy. I change my fave person in the world more often than you change your socks. (Hadda clean that one up. The word rhymes with socks but aren’t worn on your feet. Well, they can be, buts that’s just weird.) 🤭

The real question is what are the optics and can the AFL live with a "not guilty" whatever the actual facts are. 

Player A, runs into player B who goes off on a stretcher. Bad optics...AFL want to look good. Money, advertising etc.

Just said the same to a mate. They are trying to apply civil law principles to a contact sport. There is a voluntary assumption of risk that comes with plying this game. The duty of care argument is a bunch of bulldust. You could argue that the duty of care is breached in every tackle. The aim of the act is to physically challenge an opponent. It’s just outrageous

Interesting, they wanted a downgrade to medium, but it’s almost like they’re pushing that it was now incidental

The only want it downgraded if it doesn't get thrown out.

Facts and justice occasionally overlap @Wells 11.

What about the optics of punishing players for making legitimate attempts to contest the ball in a contact sport?

Him not getting off would have bigger consequences than if the charges are dropped.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
