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?

No Jeff Gleeson.

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


Not challenging  ??  


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?

Thursday night then?


Given its only a week, I think we'll cop it on the chin. It's BS, but that's AFL

Push back MFC..   push hard

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.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
