If Moore was in fact drinking beers the next day, that would be very interesting, as it takes 3-5 days for concussion to reach its peak and then start subsiding 7-10 days, hence the 12 day AFL ban after concussion.

If he was drinking alcohol the next day, he either didn’t have concussion, was not told to avoid alcohol, or ignored the advice if he was told to abstain from alcohol.

I think Moore is more of a Chardonnay type of bloke.

Rolling thread on X if anyone wants to follow....

Thrilled to see we have gone in with Adrian Anderson again  😫

The Dees say they're not guilty based on Adrian Anderson's three reasons:

1) When Pickett elected to bump, not likely to cause injury

2) Pickett contesting ball and reasonable to contest in that way

3) High contact couldn't reasonably be foreseen with Moore dropping to knees

Was there seriously no better options than him?

"Kysaiah Pickett's evidence will come via the form of a statement. This means he will be unable to be questioned under oath about Christian Petracca's future."

 

We are using the same biomechanist that gave evidence in the Maynard case

All good. We usually play our best footy without Kozzie.

As Dee’s’ supporters we’ve learned to expect the worst 

The way this week is going I’m not expecting a good outcome. 

Must have been hard for the club to concentrate on this case given #5

Adrian better not be handling Trac’s affairs too, or we are screwed. 

Anderson’s approach to challenging tribunal decisions always feel like a filibuster to me

At this point I swear he’s an undercover agent for the MRO.

“Sally Flynn (AFL): Pickett runs past the ball and has made the election to bump rather than attempting to take possession of the ball.”

“Flynn (AFL): Pickett would've or should've known Moore would lower himself to pick up the ball.”

Both these statements are clearly disproven by the footage. Will we bother to argue the case at all?

I really hope these are summations because if he actually called it a bump as part of his defense he's already lost.

That doesn’t make sense. He didn’t run past the ball and Moore doesn’t lower himself, he slides in illegally 

Bumping is not illegal in AFL. Yet. 
Bumping the head is. He’s within his rights to try and bump Moore side on in an effort to win the ball. We see this happen dozens of times a game. 
What we don’t see is a player dropping like a sack of [censored] for no apparent reason.

I think the issue though is the AFL seem to have clearly mandated "If you elect to bump, you're responsible for the damage".

Yep, which is why we are stuffed
