Meanwhile...

Toby Green had a player in an arm lock by the throat and was using that lock to drag and twist the player around after play had clearly stopped.

So for me the real story here is the verification that the 'Toby Greene good guy transformation' is a full whitewash.

 

Spot on.

Toby whilst being an amazing footballer is a thug. I don't buy this whitewashing of him for a second.

3000 dollars isn't much in the scheme of things.

I get that suspension in the finals is a double whammy but eye gouging is a serious thing.

Hard to determine if intentional but nonetheless he was found guilty.

Greene copped a week for the same thing a while ago.

Didn't think there was too much in it and while I'd normally defend Toby here, he did the same action two weeks in a row and was suspended after the second. The fine seems sensible.

Well done GWS a joke of a suspension. 

I would guess that the grounds of Appeal are:

first, that the finding was against the weight of the evidence,

second, that the Tribunal misdirected itself, in deciding that if force was not negligible, it must be forceful, without any guidance as to what constituted either category,

third, that the whole Tribunal system as currently constituted and the MRO, are inconsistent in their findings and at worst are a complete joke.

The third ground was probably the most legalistic.

Hope Toby gets off and gets his chance to play in his first AFL final. And has a great game. Although I want Saints to win.

Yes, i hope he gets off too. Victim of anti MFC tribunal bias even if he is now with GWS.

Alas GWS are dangerous. StKilda are not. Hope Saints win though its unlikely.

How confident are you that the 'you're all a bunch of nincompoops' approach will prove effective?

It would be hard to argue against.

They will take it as a pat on the back.

I have no come back when this argument is thrown at me

Seems ridiculous they would have the Tribunal hearing this week and not last week.

Look at your 2nd word and then see how beautifully it fits with nearly everything the AFL does.


Lucky? Absolute blue murder.

Corruption at its finest.

Apparently the AFL couldn't organise anyone to attend the hearing so it got pushed out to this week.

Imagine this level of contempt being shown to a big name player from a big club!!!

What time would the hearing suit you best, MrCripps?  You lawyers probably have a big function to attend. 


Love it

 

 
 
The Giants argue the Tribunal's decision to deem high contact 'forceful' was so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it.

If they brought in the dissent rule for tribunal hearing GWS would be in a lot of trouble about now. The only thing they have not said is "your all a bunch of [censored]" but there's still time.

 

  Ahh yes, Carlton.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
