Parker upheld for a lesser tackle. Cerra is no chance of getting off..

You don’t understand how the tribunal works if you think their rulings are based on consistency 🙄😂

The AFL will look to apply ad-hoc equalisation methods beginning tonight by clearing Cerra for his dump tackle. 

I’m probs going straight to hell for saying this but since Cerra playing or not playing this week won’t affect whether we win or lose, a part of me hopes he gets off purely to see the mega melts on here.

I mean, a Tribunal Tuesday meltdown is very on brand for Demonland this season 

[Demonland 71,897]

GTFO? 
I cannot believe this. What a complete farce. Gleeson has to be removed.

Long hair defense did it. Now the AFL needs to appeal this, but they wont.

If he doesn’t win their B&F, he’s been robbed.

The tribunal's reasoning:

"We're terribly sorry. The MRO clearly thought Mr Cerra still played for Fremantle. If he'd realised he played for Carlton, he never would have been charged.

We're just glad this terrible wrong has been righted."

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Wasn’t Sparrows tackle identical? I mean no arms pinned as well? This a utter BS but we all knew it would happen. 

Right hand vs Left hand, hair doesn’t doesn’t touch the ground etc. 

It the AFL doesn’t appeal, they are complicit. 

[Demonland 71,897]

17 Dangerous Tackles have been suspended this season. Cerra is the first to get off. 

 

[McQueen 17,864]

So unfkngbelievable it makes perfect sense.

Of course Cerra was cleared. He had the best legal representation. Carlton is good at it.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,367]

Absolute farce. It won't happen but I dearly hope we tear Carlton a new one on Friday night. 

[Lord Travis 10,726]

Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didn’t. Some with less dangerous tackles too.

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.

I can see it now.

Tribunal sums up after allowing the appeal, that no reasonable person or footballer, could have foreseen, that a smaller player, dragging a bigger player to the ground, would cause the bigger player to hit his head on the ground twice and that after all, he really didn't mean to do it and he is sorry.

Told you.

 

 

[Lord Travis 10,726]

I couldn’t care less about our game this week. Friday night against Carlton should be exciting, but this is the least excited I’ve felt for an upcoming match since 2019  when we were bottom four.

Well probably win against an injured depleted Carlton, but who cares. If we win, big whoop. If we lose, we’re rubbish.

Do Carlton run the MRO Panel?

Truly unbelievable

Thought Goodwin comments today were in relation this. Gleeson must have heard him and said F--k you.
