It is hard not to be paranoid and have a victim mentality when there is such blatant unexplained inconsistency in MRO decisions. We have had 5 penalties in last 3 rounds. Any other club near that? I hope we are taking this up with head office.

Sorry, didn’t see you posted same thing. Great minds.

And who issues their media passes/id’s?

The rules say the Tribunal can view other incidents and if those incidents are not similar, the panel can be advised to ignore them. I don’t know the full facts, but on what was disclosed, we asked for similar incidents to be viewed and Gleeson refused, apparently out of hand, quoting rule 5.5. I have disclosed that rule above and it appears he has misquoted or wrongfully interpreted that rule. Why am I not surprised? To see those videos in the Tribunal, would have put out in the media and the public, the inconsistency of the MRO and the Tribunal. It would also have made it extremely difficult to uphold the suspension of Hunter. If Gleeson has nothing to hide, why would he not allow vision of similar incidents and simply explain why they are treated differently? To me this smacks of a dictatorship type of behaviour, where you don’t want the public seeing, or knowing what is going on. Suspensions affect the competition and this to me is another blow, to what is left of the disappearing integrity of the AFL competition.

Don’t stop posting. Forums are for different views and hopefully in future your views will be treated respectfully by all.

Thanks WJ. I have the legal explanation as to why the above is not illegal. It’s because Duncan is from a powerful club and Hunter is from the MFC.

The MFC is getting more action than I ever had.

You and me both. if I didn’t love the MFC I mean Narm FC I could just about walk away from footy.

Anderson the only consistent factor, has lost every appearance for us.

What are the reasons? Was it he should have moved out of the way in a split second to allow uncontested possession?

No Jeff Gleeson.

We may have our Appeal Ground right here if needed.

That kick was barely 7 metres.

I think we are going to be sprayed with BS about how he lost his drive, when in reality it’s probably a new gig at huge money, with a very good emerging list, that has many more advantages than most clubs, ( academies/picks) to get even better. Not to mention a warmer climate and nicer lifestyle.

The Suns stories are starting already. It would be realistic to guess he is already signed for next year.

Why would he do that; as it would be very likely he will be coaching again. He hasn’t walked away from 1.5 years pay, without another job. Just as an aside, he met my wife, daughter and grand daughter at a cafe and when they approached him, he couldn’t have been nicer to them, even when they said they were Dees fans. Chris Judd on the other hand, couldn’t have been ruder to my son, who incidentally played in the same junior competition 1 year ahead when they were in a store together.

That is 4 years away at least.

I don’t think you get a refund for suspension, just part of the risk. I would think the betting agencies would be in heaven if favourites are suspended.

Saints Captain Steele, bumps Giants Ash in head, after he kicks the ball. No problem a fine. Ran in and bumped an unsuspecting player, who has disposed of the ball.

You could mime it.

So will Dimma.

Wonder how Taranto and Hopper feel. I suppose the money eases a lot.

I think we can back in a new lifestyle on the GC, for Dimma and his partner. They have a list that can play finals. Agree he is not about to rebuild a list. The only other realistic possibility is Port, also with a ready made list.

I would imagine a sunnier place. This is obviously done with the Tigers blessing. They can now try out kids and plan for the future and look for a new Coach who can carry a rebuild.

MRO just suspended him for 2 weeks.
