Wodjathefirst 2,671 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 I was feeling edgy about this Friday’s game and would have been happy to get the four points. Now I’m angry and just want us to smash Carlscum. 1

This season in general has been ****house. Not only has the tribunal and umpiring been poor, but the quality of football and general excitement from watching games has been rock bottom. Can’t remember a less interesting season. Great job AFL. The AFL really want Carltank to stay relevant and alive in this year's season. 2
ucanchoose 1,816 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 That's a disgraceful decision. Hopefully Hickey doesn't have permanent damage. Where's the duty of care? 2
loges 6,767 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Unbelievable, and yet is anyone really surprised, corrupt system. 1

I reckon Cerra will be successful in his appeal. It wasn't a sling tackle and Hickey hit the ground the way he did because of the way he fell with Cerra underneath him.

It wasn't a sling tackle and Hickey hit the ground the way he did because of the way he fell with Cerra underneath him. And the same thing happened to 10+ other players this season who did not get off on appeal and missed games. But somehow, miraculously, a Carlton player is let off. The Parker ban was upheld. Same week. Same tackle. Different jumper. 4
BDA 23,048 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Gotta hand it to them. Carlton have the best legal representation in the league.
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,354 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Cerra ... lol. Is anyone seriously surprised? Cripps will play. 1

Redleg 42,181 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Cripps, Hewitt and now Cerra. Are we surprised?

Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Will some ask Gil in the presser “is this presser just a smokescreen to let Cerra’s appeal decision to get through unnoticed? “ 1

jules7 816 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) First time in my entire life, I don’t want to go to the footy! The AFL, the big clubs, the corrupt system, the umpires etc. Rules for some and not others. It’s shameful, biased and dishonest. Edited May 30, 2023 by jules7 5

OhMyDees 1,834 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Great. So Cerra to kick 4 and have 30+ disposals then? Can we boo him?
Scoop Junior 3,582 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 From AFL website: The Tribunal panel, led by chairman Jeff Gleeson, found it wasn't a dangerous tackle. "Cerra only has a light grip on Hickey's arms. They are not truly pinned," Gleeson said. "Hickey could use one or both of his arms." Tom Sparrow’s tackle did not pin Day’s arms. Day could have used one or both of his arms. But it was deemed a dangerous action being a sling. Sparrow is not the only one. A large group of players have been suspended for similar actions when arms were not pinned. But suddenly it’s now a relevant, if not determining, factor. And what happened to the infamous duty of care this time around? It’s really hard to have any faith in this system. I’d go one step further and say it’s a blight on the game that there is no consistency and certain players/clubs seem to get treated differently. 5
Demon Dynasty 17,169 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 The Blues must have an influencer or two of note who have the ears of some of the top brass. Too many 'cute' outcomes in their favour to be coincidental
