Lachie Hunter Loses Bid To Overturn 1 Week Suspension

I’m sick of these lawyers that think they know when a player is contesting the ball and think they have another alternative. It’s utter garbage. 
Hunter showed duty of care, if he didn’t Rozee would’ve been sent to next week. 
And the reasoning for the ban to be upheld is complete nonsense. Basically saying he should moved out of the way.

    For years they’ve said turn side on and now they’re saying go in front on with your arms out?

    Utter nonsense

    Need to appeal regardless otherwise they'll resume normal MO (aginst us).

    The AFL are a bunch of bullies towards the clubs that aren't high enough on their favourites list.

    Need to show them we arent copping their BS practices anymore and going to take these rubbish calls all the way every time and highlight the biased outcomes.

    Keep raising other examples of similar incidents and with different outcomes as precedents and showing up their bias and inconsistencies

    The game is at a breaking point and the people in charge are not competent.

    Not surprised by the result. AFL script this stuff, controlling results is in their DNA.

    Hunter could benefit from a freshening up. Jordan or Brayshaw will cover him for a week.

    Is the tribunal suppose to be impartial? Jeff Gleeson feels like he is running AFL's agenda. 

    Why have tribunal? Things get overturned by clerical errors. The blues player getting off cause he punched with a left hand rather than right. Wtf.

    Not sure I've got this right. JVR suspension was originally upheld because he was entering the contest too quickly. Hunter's upheld because he should've known his opponent was entering the contest too quickly.

    Is that about it?

    The game can longer be umpired or referreed. This is what the AFL has wrought, in the name of speeding the game up for the great Television God. Are they proud of their works? They are killing the game.

    There's at least 6 paragraphs of stupidity in the rationale for suspension that gives good ground for appeal I would have thought.

    Considering the amount of outs we're likely to have this week, I'll be really disappointed if we don't appeal.

    Youre trying to apply reason and logic

    The AFL is not about reason and logic.

    Its about Power, Control and $$$

    I genuinely detest the current MRO / Tribunal system.  The decisions are an insult to the game, and to the intelligence us supporters!  The inconsistencies beggar belief!

    It's very consistent with the standard of umpiring. Two peas in a pod 🫛

    If the suspension stands then the game is well and truly stuffed.

    I hope the club as a collective understands this and appeals regardless.

    Need to stand up again as we did with JVR and show them we know it's a 'selective' rigged manufactured outcome depending on player/club in question.

    Calm down. It’s a one week suspension. The President has been very good.

    If it wasn't raining Rozee "the Olympic diver" wouldn't be sliding on his knees to knock the ball on and make contact with Lachie.

    Lachie has stopped dead to bend down side on and collected the ball.

    Terrible decision, appeal if a further week isn't risked.

    Everyone knows Gary Pert’s email right? It’s not the size of the suspension, it’s the principle and the boondoggling, favouritism and mind boggling inconsistency

    Part of me hopes TAS Labor or the recently-defected Libs put the kybosh on the Hobart stadium. AFL HQ needs taking down a peg. 
     

    I wonder if we have some behind the scenes “please explain”’convos going on.

    • 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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
