Left for an hour and a half to go do work come back expecting to either crucify the AFL or praise Houghton, instead I'm blue balled

Still Hawny then?

Calling them a tool is a bit harsh!

jk

 

Probably writing a epic judgement that the AFL can move forward on. 

Rewriting the rules for them!

About the same as post match but that can also be anywhere between 500 and over 1000.

Makes sense. 'Land is where I come immediately after the game.

the beaks are paid by the 5min increment so no wonder they are taking forever!

Does the concept of reasonable doubt apply? Taking so long surely means just that.

I agree. I actually think this lengthy deliberation is a good sign. Perhaps they’re working out how to explain the overturning of his suspension while saving face. As well as avoiding the expected “please explain” from all and sundry

It used to be more than that but I reckon social media has taken away a chunk of people away from traditional website/forums. 

I want informed, wise and insightful opinion - so 'Land it is.

Does anyone know who the Appeal Tribunal members are?

FWIW, Will Houghton is an incredibly well respected KC.

I also know Andrew Wood, AFL's Counsel. Great guy, but not (yet) at Will's level.

Ironically i feel like I did that and now I'm coming back from the absolute cesspit that is facebook comments

Have you got his mobile? Inside word?

Probably trying to craft a Supreme Court challenge proof decision that saves face for AFL and tribunal.

All we want to do is save Jacob. Get on with it.

The thing about social media is that for better or for worse it is a one stop shop for your footy team, your favourite band, fishing tips, cooking recipes etc. Hard to compete with that.

Will @joeboy be providing a three-word analysis of tonight's CF?

JVR: hard done by

Demonlanders: unfair AFL treatment

MFC members: this is disgusting

Tom McDonald: here I come

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
