    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
