Very Jaded

I know you said you haven’t read the proceedings, but once you do I would be interested in your opinion of our defense. I’m not a lawyer but I wasn’t impressed. AFL seem to have made a stronger argument.

It’s not looking good. I imagine they’re trying to come up with a statement that won’t send the AFL community into meltdown. Again.

Would be best 22 at a lot of clubs. If I was his manager I’d get him to another club.

Where is the duty of care for the spaghetti?

He should sue them for letting two thugs break his throat in a game

There are better lawyers on this website ffs. Why was our argument so weak?

Where is the Carlton lawyer?

I agree. The vibes are off and I don’t think our counter argument was at all strong enough.

I’m not that impressed with our rebuttal. I expected more. Also where was the argument that this isn’t a strike?

It has no questions? I have about 900 questions

It happened

Jordan is gone

It’s a 6 part special with how long this has gone on. Episode 1: The Stretcher Episode 2: MRO’s day out Episode 3: Tribunal Tribulations Episode 4: OUTRAGE Episode 5: The Appeal Episode 6: JVR on winning the Coleman

Ok Melbourne is back up on the stand This is juicier than an episode of Judge Judy after school

That’s the dude doing the live reporting from the hearing. Not the actual lawyers.

Surely we get a right of reply to this lying sack of [censored] making up rules and concocting imaginary injuries.

Except nowhere in the law does it say that you have a duty of care when going to contest the ball. Where is that specific law?

The AFL is arguing that JVR injured Ballard. Since when does free to play next week = injured?

Why did we accept on Tuesday night that contact was not accidental?! Wtf!!

The AFL’s position is just that, a position. We have rules and laws. You can’t just change your position on a written law to suit your current agenda! We are either following the law or we aren’t. Also Ballard was unharmed so who says this spoil was careless?

Is the AFL arguing that their rules are wrong? What a [censored] show

This new lawyer is good. I’m thinking his arguments can’t really be disputed.

Can we play the race card? This is clearly a play to get the Dutch. No non- Dutch players got suspended this week.

We should just go in there and tell them they’re wrong and stupid

We are trying to bamboozle them with lawyer talk 😂
