[Superunknown 4,225]

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

We may have our Appeal Ground right here if needed.

 

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.....

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

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

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.!!!

[Hawny for Gawny 461]

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

thumbs down

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

Lachie Hunter’s Tribunal appeal has failed. He’ll miss round 11 against Walyalup.

[beelzebub 23,383]

Not challenging  ??  

[Hawny for Gawny 461]

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.

[Bates Mate 4,510]

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

[Redleg 41,467]

What are the reasons?

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

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Absolutely ridiculous decision by these clowns. Sidestep another player contesting the ball? Appeal this [censored]!

[Clintosaurus 7,867]

Thursday night then?

[Mickey 4,731]

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

[beelzebub 23,383]

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?

[Jaded No More 68,974]

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.
