if toby hadn't turned his body, what do you think would have happened?

there would certainly still have been a collision

it might have been worse for boyd

2 players might have been injured

as it was, boyd had minimal hurt, so does this mean toby made the right decision?

this is a very, very difficult one

and finally, was it accidental or careless

you be the judge

So what Greene should have done is go for the mark...

In effect he would have nearly killed his opponent if he had of gone for the mark.

I think it's becoming incumbent on players not to run back into a marking contest front on, it's sheer stupidity.

This is where it's different to the Wright incident, in that case the player was coming back to the ball.

i think greene's defence would be to argue accidental vs careless

can see this going mro -> tribunal -> appeals board

how bad is the bummers guernsey?

I cannot remember for the life of me the last time a player playing for a Victorian team requested a trade home to South Australia. Truly bizarre. Maybe Wanganeen? It just never really happens.

Looking at the replay of the Lever incident and the rap he is getting, having relaxed his body and bounced his head in the action. 

Motorbike pins Lever's arms, lifts his legs off the ground, slings his body round so as to get momentum and drives, as his head bounces off the ground.

I am amazed by some commentary that Lever, made it easy and exaggerated the look of it.

Wow, then Dunkley gets a take on the matter, victim blaming.

The Lions are really building the MFC hate towards them.

dunkley still having nightmares from september 25 2021 annihilation

If some members like DC can’t go to a home replacement game because she can’t sit in her cosy reserved seat how is she ( or likeminded members) likely to rough it with the Tiger types in GA. 

With great respect it’s more likely that our mob are missing in action than worrying about 10/15, 000 Tigs who may have dropped off.

dc is not a she.  dc does not have a reserved seat.

keep the comedy rolling, but "with great respect"

no doubt smith has plenty of talent ... when he wants to

problem is the guy is so uncommitted and unprofessional. you never know which bailey smith is going to turn up

I have reduced the amount of media content I read, listen to or watch in recent years. Far too many morons and sensationalists. One of the few I still watched or listened to, had been Garry Lyon. Not that I agree with everything he said, but I mostly I have, until.....

Listening to a replay of the SEN breakfast show this morning (avoiding the 70 mins of ads) I had to turn off.

Like everyone I've heard comment on the tribunal outcome, he thinks it's a joke. That's a no brainer. However, like some others, he believed Lever milked it. He then went on to say, he believes the AFL should call Lever to tell him, that's not on.  Furthermore, he said Lever should be told that if he repeats that action, he himself, risks suspension.  

Lever's head HIT the ground! It will be of no surprise to people here that I have hit my head hundreds of times. The reaction each time was to reel my head in the opposite direction of impact. It's a natural human response. 

Throwing your head back and raising your arm (which causes head contact) to win a free kick is a blight and a dangerous aspect of our game that needs penalising. 

I would love the club to call out Lyon, Buckley, Dunkley, tribunal advocates  and any others that are victim blaming here and defend their player.

I would also love the club to challenge the AFL on the difference about what is said and what is done is relation to players health and safety. 

 

ffs, lever appealed for a free kick (correctly) ... you'll see that 100 times per game

2024 wins with kozzy playing        - 100%

2024 wins without kozzy playing  - 0%

Cameron has never been suspended in his 207 career games though he had been fined five times, including three times for rough conduct.

Fears ‘absolutely ludicrous’ Tribunal verdict will open ‘Pandora’s Box’ as pundits left staggered

The incredible reversal of Charlie Cameron’s one-match suspension due to a good character and record has left experts in a state of disbelief.

so, only 5 rounds in and the new "potential to cause injury" upgrading impact category, now has a novel and neat circumvention thanks to the ever ingenious and malleable mr. gleeson.

only the afl could contrive such a great escape.  helpful [censored] abound in many spheres.

well what would you expect when the afl monetized the score review

the score review has an official sponsor.   more reviews, more ads, more money, happy broadcaster

The Todd River in Alice Springs generally doesn't have water. The suburb in Melbourne called Bayswater is nowhere near the coast. The army has its base on the coastline in Darwin while the navy in the same city is situated inland. And red heads are called Bluey. That's what I like about Australia - all sorts of things can be the opposite of obvious.  

Quote

The name Bayswater is a derivation of Bayards Watering Place, which was first recorded in 1380. The area was largely rural and isolated until the 1830s, when road development and residential building were initiated around Hyde Park. Areas farther to the north and west were developed soon afterward.

This Geoff Gleeson tribunal chairman is a problem for us , always directs the panel the opposite way to what we are arguing. Surely the chairman's purpose is to clarify technical issues, not to direct the panel to what their finding should be otherwise he might as well make the decision himself.

what do you expect from a filth supporter?

the minute he refused to listen to our expert witness i knew we were done

As I’ve tried to explain to CrankyPants (above) I couldn’t fully understand some of what the boys were saying. One can only say “Pardon, what was that?” so many times before it gets annoying.

 I actually googled Herman’s Bay while with them and something about the NT popped up. I assumed I had the right name.

SO SHOOT ME FFS 🙄 

fair enough, wcw

but i don't think there are many bays anywhere near the alice
