I will try break this down as best I can.

 

The Dees are arguing this is rough conduct but not a bump.

 

Basically, they argue impact should not have been upgraded based on potential to cause injury because it does not qualify as a bump in their view.

We have spent the last 40 minutes debating whether we allow evidence from a Professor Cole. The Tribunal finds it will not have a meaningful impact on the crux of this case.

 

Effectively, these first 40 minutes have been a prelude.

Lisa Hannon (AFL): The act of jumping to smother ... carried not only the inherent risk of head high contact, but real potential to cause injury.

 

 

Not going well is my between the lines read

Why do we keep using Lionel Hutz (Adrian Anderson)? He is useless.

I assume Anderson got JVR and/or Fritta off as i couldn’t imagine why they’d go back to him otherwise.

Not how I would have gone about it. 

We have totally PAAAARKEED THIS UP! For caaaryst sake, go for LOW IMPACT!! Sheeeit how are we so bloody dense!!

Kozzy’s bump is medium impact and Toby Greene‘s dangerous tackle on Mac Andrew is absolutely fine? Given the player who Kozzy tackled wasn’t injured and played on, I assume Kozzy’s tackle was deemed medium impact due to the potential to cause injury. Based on this, then surely Greene’s tackle on Mac Andrew also has the potential to cause serious injury and he should have been suspended?

Question. Head contact. Why no HIA by the Crows on Soligo ?? Isn’t that mandatory.  Why not? Because it was farknnnn low impact !!!!

Are you saying that IN EVERY INSTANCE, Any impact to the head is now graded as Medium??? Seriously, the game is turning into Pickelball, or Dueling Crotchet needles, what a FARCE! it also means ANY head contact is now reportable even flicking a mosquito of an opponents brow.

HOW PAARKING AFL!

Hannon (AFL) says a combination of force, body positioning of Pickett at moment of impact and genuine potential to cause injury should see this graded 'medium' impact.

Anderson (Dees) says Pickett decelerates as he jumps for the ball and it is "a much less significant impact as a result."

Anderson (Dees) notes Pickett's fist wasn't clenched at the moment of impact, which is not consistent with a decision to bump.

Lachie Fogarty has in fact appeared at tonight's Tribunal, via vision of Jack Viney's bump on him from the 2023 Semi-Final.

The Tribunal is now deliberating.
