Federal Court in the morning?

Gah case dismissed. Seeya in 2 weeks Fyfe 
Bugger
Dismissed ! Damn it.
I'm a bit peeved at this decision because it sets a bad precedent for future cases allowing the chairperson way more power than he should.
Bottom line, fyfie should not be putting himself in this position.
Why do people care that we "look silly"? 500 bucks out of pocket is all, definitely worth it despite the decision. Would have been stupider to not try at all IMO.
What did anyone expect? 2 weeks stops Fyfe having any chance of winning the brownlow... Avoiding certain embarrassment for the afl. The fix was in from the beginning.
Fyfe should not have given them the opportunity... He has let the team down in a crucial moment in the season.

we look silly because it just highlighted how much of a twat our representation was on tuesday, its $5000 also, but yeah it's still bugger all for freo.
So have they effectively eliminated the need for a jury now and the chairman can just make rulings himself?
Fyfe better keep himself out of trouble for all of next year now otherwise his sanctions are going to get nasty.

No problem with Fyfe getting suspended, but 2 weeks is bull****
God I hate the inconsistency with the whole tribunal system!! Always seems like we are on the wrong end of it ...

Really seems like this is the case, Allikat?
The chairman already hold a lot of power. He can already direct the jury in their thought process and he is also a jury member. Now he can decide the outcome if it doesn't fit his liking...
Honestly, it seems that way, but it's not right according to the tribunal rules.
We effectively got screwed this week. I still think we were in the right to appeal, and Fyfe should have been allowed a new hearing, even if the jury came up with the same conclusion.

He needs to learn how to deal with annoying taggers, as now he is precariously balanced with carry over points they will try to tip him over any chance they can get.

Just catching up on the news. Was hopeful, but by my understanding of things, I'm not surprised really. I think it was always a long shot and I can honestly see how the chairperson acted according to the rules even at the Tribunal (though I'd still like to see a transcript to be sure).
Still think it was worth it because I reckon there was enough grey there and the upside of having Fyfe for that Port game means you've got to take a shot. I don't give a s**t what people think we 'look like'. We're trying to get our best player on the park, not "impress people" most of which don't care about about Freo at all.

I bet Whateley the smug sanctimonious git can't wait to say I told you so on 360.
He also needs to learn how to not accidentally bump heads with someone despite the fact that it's perfectly fine to elbow/shoulder someone in the head intentionally if you're wearing a Sydney jumper
