I'd like to commend the AFL on their fixturing this year. Giving Melbourne a bye, then an interstate 'home' game at the height of the ski season is most welcome. We can head to Buller for 2-3 weeks and catch our 'home' game on tv from our chalets.
I understand what you are saying Jack, but I disagree.
If the AFL have set rules around when you can and can't appeal and that restricts the MFC from appealing in this case, I would have thought we could take the case to The Court of Arbitration for Sport on the basis that Jack did not receive a fair hearing.
Couldn't agree more Redleg.
The tribunal chairman instructed the jury to take into account the conduct, not the consequence. I don't see how they did that when they came to this verdict. That is grounds to appeal, as is the 4 minute deliberation. I don't see how he got a fair hearing.
If I remember correctly, Dangerfield was hit heavily in a marking contest prior to the Trengove tackle. Isn't it possible he was already suffering some form of concussion from that, yet came back on the ground?
Can you point me to the part of the article that quotes or even references an MFC source? I notice the word 'likely' and we were mentioned only because we went after Hale. It looks to me like this journo has made it all up. If we wanted a player of Hansen's type, we would have kept Brad Miller. You can keep your shorts.
What a joke. Leave the awareness raising to the clubs, there was no need for those prancing prima-donnas to be put in pink. I'm sure they all already wear pink shirts during the week when they are out and about on commercial rd, surely they could have spent their Friday night in yellow.
Martin started forward, went back, then finished forward. McNamara played back, I didn't think he was best for Casey.
Miller forward, no good.
Maric foward, kicked a nice goal but was ordinary.
Watts was good but doubt he will play for the demons next week.
