View Full Version : Big Night At the Tribunal 21/02/01
Ok, the running sheet stands like this.
Adam Simpson - Wrestling
Jess Sinclair - Wrestling
Dylan Smith - Striking
Troy Makepeace - ? Melee making?
Byron Pickett - ? (see Makey)
Brend Harvey - (see Choppy)
Arghhhh! What are people's thoughts on this & how do you think we'll go? Do you think the club will look at any disciplinary action as well?
Does anyone happen to know what the terms are for payment of tribunal fines? Just interested.

After seeing that Freo player get 2 weeks for tripping...first offence, he should've only been fined, and did anyone see Schwarz was rolling around the ground like soccer player's do after a tackle...what a f*cking softie......I'm now worried about what Dylan Smith may get if he's found guilty for striking.
Mind you, if Barry Hall can get off scott free....
Yeah I am wondering who I will be watching play on Saturday in Canberra.
Wrestling means money..money..money
just like the radar!!
I heard on the radio that Sinclair and Simpson pleaded guilty to wrestling (without facing the tribunal) and handed over their $1200 fines.

Does anyone know who pays the fines? Hopefully the player should and not the club. Whilst it is admirable to go in and help a team-mate, (and from the video, it looks as if Matera was sledging young Dylan Smith, who has retailated and it's been on for young and old) we can't afford to have this type of crap going on in the home & away season.

okay the players pay the fine, and then at the end of the season the total amount of money that is payed from melees etc is divided equally into 16 and each club gets a share.
SHINNERS - David is not a softie ok, he was tripped and at the same time coped a blow to the knee. the man has had three recos, hes gonna feel it everytime someone little wanker tries to trip him up. Brown deserves everything he got, who cares if it was unintentional, his leg went out and schwarta got tripped. end of story. David may be a lot of things but a softie he aint. hes an absolute champion !!!!! and all hes been through he deserves a bit of credit. GO OX

There goes that word "Champion" again.
If Schwartz is a champion, the criteria must have changed since I last looked.

Trample the Weak,
Hurdle the Dead.
I'm about to go to bed & can't stay up all night refreshing my afl.com.au home page waiting for the respective verdicts.
I hope they all go ok, Makey in particular because that money could be better spent on more tattoos! I hope his charge is dismissed.
Boomer & Choppy may be our best chances at Brownlow medals this year so I hope the force is with them.
Its pretty unfortunate for Dildo being booked in his first game but Westcoast will cry foul if he gets let off. They'll say the league is being lenient on North because they are crying poor. But being a first gamer & all, I hope they go easy on him just the same.
Hopefully I'll wake up to some good news tomorrow morning.
Night All!
