  1. At the top and bottom of the page there is a button that says Click for Full Site.
  2. As I said earlier I think this can have it's own set of problems. Forums need new blood to grow. Forcing people to pay might scare people away and I don't think it is fair to make people pay for something they can't afford. If we were churning out huge amounts of our own content then things might be a little different. As it stands I am comfortable with allowing our users to decide if the want to contribute. People have been very generous and that is great. We've had about 8 or 9 months of hosting paid for today. We still need more to help out with the software costs. Thanks again everyone who has contributed.
  3. Mobile skin refers to the smartphone version of the site to makes it easier to read on an iphone or android type device and is not a protective cover for a mobile device. If you are referring to the former what device do you own?
  4. Nom, nom, nom. Needs more salt. I'll get it from Damian Barrett's tears.
  5. Nathan Schmook: Appeal upheld. He's off!
  6. Nathan Schmook: 13 minutes, we're back. Hold tight.
  7. Teams are in. In: Garland Out: Georgiou (Omitted) - another Viney victim. Too soon?
  8. Do I even need to explain why? I thought it was funny but kids read this site. Not to mention Nannas.
  9. Last time it took 16 minutes.
  10. Nathan Schmook: OK, we're out now and the board is deliberating...
  11. Nathan Schmook: "There was no ability for the jury to come to the conclusion they did, and it was so unreasonable." - David Grace QC Not sure if this is a new comment or Nathan just repeating a comment from earlier.
  12. Comment From Guest Doesn't that mean that no verdict could ever be overturned? A jury by definition must act reasonably. Nathan Schmook: It depends on what grounds you challenge. Nick Maxwell had a decision overturned because the Pies argued the rules were misapplied. Only one in 14 have been successful.
  13. Comment From james lt Nathan, do you believe it should be overturned? Nathan Schmook: I believe he should have been found not guilty on Tuesday night. But i don't see how it can be overturned now. You can disagree with the original verdict, but it's hard to assert the jury acted "so unreasonably" ...
  14. Shouldn't the prosecution have gone first or do normal trial rules not apply in a kangaroos court?
  15. Nathan Schmook: The jury would have to "cock it up massively, Gleeson says, for the decision to be overturned. "
  16. Nathan Schmook: The trouble for the Demons is they need to prove the Tribunal acted "so unreasonably that no Tribunal acting reasonably would have come to that decision". The options Gleeson gave the jury were essentially both reasonable, even if some disagree.
  17. Nathan Schmook: The vision is behind the goals vision, showing Viney "move into the path of the oncoming players". I wonder if this vision was shown the other night?
  18. He should be called Hurricane at the very least.
  19. Nathan Schmook: we're now moving into more vision as directed by Mr Gleeson In super slow motion no doubt.
  20. Agreed. I will eat my hat if he gets off.
  21. Nathan Schmook: In plain terms, Gleeson is arguing that the jury found this was a bump, who is the Appeals Board to find differently?
  22. Comment From Matt How can the Tribunal's decision from Tuesday night be overturned? Do Melbourne FC need to prove that Viney did not bump? Nathan Schmook: They need to prove the Tribunal acted very unreasonably…. Comment From Guest the whole country thought the tribunal was unreasonable though
  23. Nathan Schmook: A lot of legal speak unfolding here.
  24. Gleeson is doing the Chewbacca Defence:
