Lachie Hunter Loses Bid To Overturn 1 Week Suspension

[Megatron 886]

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. 

[Devil In Disguise 2,258]

WTF is going on? Rozee wasn't even injured & kicks the winning goal. This is [censored] [censored].

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. 

[SPC 3,478]

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. 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,060]

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?

[beelzebub 23,198]

Time to email the prez.

We dont accept this [censored]

Not prepared to back your players in fair play ?

Not prepared to back YOU !!

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 $$$

Sounds reasonable

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 I didn’t love the MFC I mean Narm FC I could just about walk away from footy.

This is the start of the end. 

[Jibroni 4,928]

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

[Demonland 70,269]

Lachie Hunter rocking up to the Appeal.

[dl4e 5,850]

So the MRO [censored] us on Sunday and now they have [censored] us on Tuesday evening. So that is twice this week they have [censored] us.

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.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,552]

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.

The MFC is getting more action than I ever had.

[Superunknown 4,061]

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.
