I hate Adrian Anderson for initiating the tanking investigation but heโ€™s making a good case.ย 

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.

Didnโ€™t Adrian Anderson get Fritsch off in 2021?

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?

QD are you going to change your name to Kingbeyan Demon?

Speaking of deliberation, the book is open.

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

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.ย

Evenย 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 Charge should be withdrawn.ย 

The AFLโ€™s arguments are deranged. Reeks of people who havenโ€™t played football ever.ย 

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

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!

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 arenโ€™t worn on your feet. Well, they can be, buts thatโ€™s just weird.) ๐Ÿคญ

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

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

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. Itโ€™s just outrageousย

Interesting, they wanted a downgrade to medium, but itโ€™s almost like theyโ€™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.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
