Graeme Yeats' Mullet

Fixed...

If the "error in law" argument succeeds, will show the tribunal to be a complete farce

The tribunal members charging by the hour or something?

AFL Live Blog is so bored it's full of random news stories...

Ffs, must be looking for an angle to let him off

Agree Reduce to 1 week

IIRC... The MRO/Tribunal/Appeals Board mechanisms protect AFL from these cases being take to courts and potentially having a court grant injunctive relief for a period of time nullifying suspension (IE wait until season over until hearing appeal) I'm sure Lawyers on here can comment with more knowledge than I on this matter. So appeals board is effectively last chance saloon

Can we get a Cripps verdict update from Royal Pde?

Anyone know who is sitting on the Tribunal tonight?

Tipping mostly B But also mostly indiscreet

Busted up experienced ruckman, with stress fractures...On heaps of coin Collingwood can only afford to fund so many players on other club lists... Hard NO from me

Unfortunately, I think he may get off... Rioli comparison justifies attacking the ball and incidental contact, albeit heavy contact I feel it's one of those situations where a player knows they can attack the ball and have the added bonus of spearing an opponent, because that opponent has chosen to follow ball back into oncoming traffic I don't want Cripps to play, but would be arguing against a Demon suspension in same circumstances

Go your hardest!

Where do you boys think Petty is at? He's got a strong following on D'land, and any critique isn't popular, but I'm increasingly nervous watching him 1 on 1 and he was simply exposed when isolated from Lever's support on Friday...

He'll get 2 weeks, perhaps reduced to 1, then may get off on appeal But the more I look at the replay the more I think it is incidental contact. If Ah Chee isn't there, then Cripps grabs the ball on his chest in a chest mark motion. Had the ball been kicked, this would be a perfectly reasonable attack at the footy. Will all come down to whether his attack on the ball is seen as reasonable.

3AW suggest weeks

Sounds fair to me

North given up There goes 3rd spot

Win next 2 Play Pies at the G in first finals round.... Win Prelim GF Job done

Petty was woeful tonight 🤦‍♂️
