The Tribunal found the incident was still medium impact, but downgraded the sanction to a fine based on "exceptional and compelling circumstances".

    Any clues on the "exceptional and compelling circumstances"???
    Did the Brisbane defence team play Country Road in a karaoke session with a few beers and the tribunal all song along with Charlie?

    It really didn’t take long for Gleeson and Christiansen to reveal themselves as a corrupt joke.
    Greene, Butters, Cameron, under the standard applied to Kozzie should ALL have gotten at least a week. There was potential for serious injury in all three, all three involved head high contact, should be at least one week each, probably more, but they don’t play for Melbourne, case closed.

    He literally was cleared because of his ‘good character’. He was allowed to bring Eddie Bettes and Indigenous elder to vouch for him. This is extraordinary. The rule of law is dead.

    Sorry, should’ve linked: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1110271

    “Cameron's exemplary record was taken into account in the verdict, with the 29-year-old playing for 10 years, or 207 games, without being suspended.”

    I once knocked a bloke out cold on the footy field.

    Luckily, he regained consciousness after I gently whispered my community work into his ear, along with my achievements and good character.

    Probably saved his life come to think of it.

    Cameron cleared

    Anderson finally had a win at the tribunal despite getting references to players suspended previously incorrect 

    An absolute farce. I'll always love the sport of Australian Football but I've fallen out of love with the league, just a corrupt organisation.

    Was found guilty of medium impact, that is a suspension, unless you are a good bloke, who in Cameron’s case work's with Indigenous youth.

    Robbo, Whately on 360 stunned, journos Jay Clark, Glen McFarlane and Ralphy on Midweek Tackle, also stunned and appeared actually angry.

    We have one rule for some and another for others.

    Can’t wait to hear Kingy.

    Laura Kanes’ words of “all players are treated equally” are now quite hollow.

    IMO the sooner the Tribunal Chairman and Christian are gone and the whole system is overhauled, the better.

    Consistency simply does not exist in the AFL judiciary.

    That clown is unbelievable, how can someone like that keep his job and have this much power?

    I don’t know why anyone is surprised at this. The AFL is only in the business of making money. They spend their time and effort creating a facade of equity and fairness - but neither of those things are actually in their best interest.

    Cameron doesn’t play = less money. Therefore Cameron plays. Ditto Maynard. Ditto Cripps.

    Not sure if mentioned here yet but Gary Lyon on SEN this morning brought up the little known fact that Cameron has been FINED 5 times in his career for dangerous tackles.🤦‍♂️

    He doesn’t have a spotless record like Pendlebury for example, and obviously hasn’t learnt from his soft feather warnings

    So many people also blaming Lever for it, wow. He was picked up and thrown backwards and a tackle like that would be a sin bin in the NRL. I do think he put a bit of mayo at the end, but doesn't change the fact the tackle was dangerous.

    Also, trying to use the weight difference as an excuse, Jack Viney has been on record saying his brother can easily take him down and he has him covered by a good 10-20kgs but it doesn't matter if you use your weight correctly.

    What a joke. Obviously not a clear record then. Unbelievable that they would come to that conclusion. Was the AFL lawyer deliberately putting up a limp case again (eg Maynard)?

    Kanes had the perfect opportunity to sack Christian when he threatened to resign over the Maynard debacle last year.

    I can only assume the boys club stepped in.

    Any boss in any organisation would normally take that tantrum and show him the door.

    Disgraceful

    So what's different for Kozzy? Surely he is as popular as Cameron. 

    There's something beyond money, the AFL has their favourite children (Sydney, Geelong et al.)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
