This Gleeson is a bit of  buffoon surely. Ignoring the rules....making it up on the fly.

Passed the bar... certainly not the Mitre i suspect.....

    Is this the same Justin Gleeson who was previously the Australian Government Solicitor-General before the current S. Donoghue?

    Naaah, it's Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets. He's a blues supporter

    The problem is that the law is all about black letter law

    Nuance is not something it does well

    I'm back to rewatching Ballers

    Why was the contact deemed as medium when Rozee got straight up, got 8 coaches votes, and ended up kicking the winning goal?

    He didn’t seem too inconvenienced by the incident.

    The fact he didn't even have to go and have a concussion test either

    No but he stayed down long enough to make it look worse than it was trying to draw a free.!!!

    I feel like we put up a really good argument here, better than the JvR one so I (a super qualified AFL law interpreter) expect us not to get off

    Yeah, there's a lot of players starting to pull this stunt more often.
    Beginning to look a lot like men's soccer which is just what the AFL want

    Wouldn't mind another appeal depending on the reasoning for why he got the suspension up held, I feel like most people are in agreement that he was in the right which is a good guide to how successful it maybe.

    Of course it has been upheld. AFL don't want to be shown up again. They need to come out and explain what a player is supposed to do in Hunter's position. They won't because as Hunter argued the only way to avoid contact was to move out the way and let rozee get the ball . Which is right and against the fundamentals of the game. Just rediculous a punch to the guts is ok but this is not

    What are the reasons?

    Was it he should have moved out of the way in a split second to allow uncontested possession?

    That's silly, he should have never been in that situation, if he had just played like our mids did for most of the night (almost non existent) then Rozee would have been fine :/

    Exactly Red.

    Is there / will there be,  a detailed statement of the ruling?

    I really really really hate the AFL.
    It’s a good thing Melbourne is competitive right now or I would seriously consider walking away. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to enjoy.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
