Desperate bid to justify upholding the ban going on here

He's being penalised for the AFL allowing the Fogarty spoil the week before

Well it's not actually in the rules, so precedent or not, any player could be rubbed out at any time, for anything

Agreed, she was soooo yesterday!

To me that was the biggest 'error in law' in the whole proceeding. Can't believe it wasn't raised.

Does anyone know if the David King 55% stat on JVR includes that high ball forward on the weekend? You know the one that landed on a Sun in the pock.... Oh, ahhh, never mind.

No, just crack I think

Exactly. This [censored] used the words 'the rules explicitly require a duty of care'. Oh really. Which exact rules are these?

Do we know if Michael Christian's been sacked by the AFL for the incorrect charge against Nic Newman, allowing him to walk from a striking charge? Yes. Tongue is in cheek....

Unfortunately though, the AFL slipped us B1 last night, so let's just hope that B2 isn't available Thursday night and they have to free Rooey.

I do. It was Jack Viney 2014

But this is actually where the AFL argument massively fails. They're admitting it was an attempted spoil, so the whole thing should be thrown at, as he's been charged with striking. It isn't striking if it's spoiling.

And fortunately, that bolded part does not appear in the rules of the game. Must be appealed.

I knew the semantics thing was a stitch up. The panel was told how to interpret a rule, when they should only ever be told to apply a rule. They cannot do that, it needs to be appealed.

Is it April 1st again?

Yeah that worries me. Sounds like a stitch up to me.

Updates seem to have eased off. Are they deliberating now?

Which is still within the rules

Why did he grab the back of his head immediately, rather than where the actual contact was????

Snap by Bailey Laurie, nice kick, close, but.... Missed it by that much

Any mention of why Turner was a late out? Hope he's not being held over for any Lever problems?

Geez #37 for GCS is a tricky one for commentators to call

One might argue there's no change there.

I'm having technical difficulties. And the live stream isn't working either

Ok, cheers
