Kanes had the perfect opportunity to take Christian 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 

don't forget, laura kane IS part of the boy's club

AFL Match Review Panel Round 7, Koby Stevens suspension, Jarrad Waite suspension, Lance Franklin Nick Robertson (foxsports.com.au)

Match Review: Star Lion Cameron fined for engaging in rough conduct (afl.com.au)

Cameron got a fine for striking in 2017 and a fine for rough conduct in 2020. So much for the clean record excuse.

Omitting context is an effective tactic to shape the narrative and result they want.

He was also charged in 2021 for striking. Thats three offences

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.

 

Why Christian, he gave Cameron a week, the chairman is just another corrupt AFL official.

What are  you talking about Christian actually gave him a week, it was a chairman that gave him a fine,  the chairman is the corrupt one, Christian has actually been quite consistent this year this is squarely on a chairman he is corrupt

 

 

No issues with the verdict.

I assume if/when Max, T Mac, Trac and Oliver all cop their first suspensions at the MRO, they will be able to present their "200 games without suspension" pass to the tribunal (the latter two will get to 200 soon).

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.)

If its an AFL Darling , then nothing to see here, anyone else and you get life! absolute joke!

And there are people on here who scoff at my repeated comment that WWE is the only honest sport in the world.

As much as I want Christians gone, he actually did his job right here. It was the tribunal and Jeff Gleeson that fudged this one up.

Gleeson

The most hilarious outcome here would be the AFL to come out and overrule/appeal the decision just to add to the ongoing circus that is the tribunal and MRO.

Quite likely, and will fit snuggly into the AFL's bizarre narrative that they have everything under control!

I hope Charlie concusses a few Cats players, now he knows he's sacrosanct.

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

Best part is that if he does it again he will still be able to affirm to the tribunal that he has never been suspended.

Reminds me of a guy a used to know who had [definitely not Serbian mafia] lawyers who got him off driving charge after driving charge with 'good record' and 'first offence' arguments. None were recorded as convictions therefore the defence could be recycled every time.

A little side note; I think it is time we started systematically tying the little red strings on the wall chart back to Channel 7. Starting to look like that network is leaning on the scales of the AFL, it's coverage, and it's administration in numerous 'unhelpful' ways.

Pert and Roffey should be demanding he heads of Gleeson and Christiansen

They are not impartial

We won’t though, because Melbourne

just like we were all crickets after Maynard’s hit

it’s a key reason I have not renewed my membership - along with some others 

 

Are you still talking about this?

Wow

I have a close contact currently employed inside HQ.  He/she says the team is heavily loaded with staff with long periods of employment and the organiastion is inherently conservative and in dire need of fresh faces.

Dillon is a 20 year man for example. Laura Kane as described above.  etc.

Both are currently in search of a backbone but that's another issue.

Do we think someone like PeterV'landys would take the rubbish the MRO handed down this week. I think not.

I have a life as well as supporting the MFC

But apparently if Kossie hadn't been suspended 3 times he might have got off with a fine.!!
