Dempsey's sling tackle

[SHAKESPEARE]

Oh boy they've bought out the big guns.
Dis gon b good

 

[Big Cox 88]

Uh...what?

how is this relevant to his actions on the field?

 

[DrMike]

Of course they are.

Out of form player on the fringes of his career. They will set an example here with Dempsey.

My tin foil hat also makes me wonder if his ethnicity has anything to do with this.

I think anyone would be stupid to bring that up in this thread

FWIW, I feel for him given the position in his career, not the way you want to leave the game if that's what it ends up being
But if him getting 5-6 weeks means someone in the future doesn't end up with their neck broken then at least he's done some good

Curious that they're bringing up the racial taunts.

Stress caused him to act out

 

[Ron The Bear]

HAHAHAHA Gold!

"The first response of a footballer and football spectator to the way Deledio lands is one of distress because it ends up being a very ugly and disturbing circumstance."

[Ron The Bear]

Uh...what?

Mifsud's the most useless campaigner I've seen in any job, ever. A true cretin.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Mifsud's the most useless campaigner I've seen in any job. A true cretin.

I'm not surprised in any way that you're of that opinion.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

seems as though the social media attack might get him off. Hodge and Mitchell the ******* sniping campaigner piece of shits better ******* not be campaigners again

 

[DerpWerls]

Sounds like Dempsey is going to cop a big whack, 4 weeks is my prediction.

 

[DerpWerls]

Severe impact going to get laughed out of town, low impact up to medium for potential to cause injury. Severe = actually injuring somebody.

Found the tough guy everybody

 

[DrMike]

Appropriate IMO, don't want to set a precedent where someone might vilify a player to get a suspension reduced either

Jeff Gleeson has suggested the Tribunal should not let racial vilification by social media impact the penalty it hands down becuase it "empowers racist cowards and gives them a relevance they otherwise wouldn't have".

Yep. It opens a can of worms that could go real bad real quick.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Yep. It opens a can of worms that could go real bad real quick.

Imagine Goodes gets reported again, all hell would break loose on social media.

Ron was spot on they were trying to use the racism issue to try to get him off, they are two seperate issues,he wasn't vilified prior to the act so it should have no bearing on the mrp.

He can take that issue up on a different stage

 

[Ron The Bear]

I'm not surprised in any way that you're of that opinion.

I'd be surprised if he didn't cop tweets similar to Dempsey's. Useless.

Meanwhile Ron has been pilloried for his opinion but his suspicions re the publicity surrounding the social media thing have proven well founded.

 

[STFU Donnie]

If Ron continues to refer to himself in the third person, then long may the pillorying continue.

With respect to Ron, I think the counsel was just as stupid to bring that up as he was to post that in here

 

[Wild Bill]

It's just the vibe.

 

[DrMike]

I agree doc but this competition is becoming one rule for some another rule for others based on skin colour, and that's not what Australia is about.

Mifsud should not have been allowed in there, the tackle had nothing to do with him, the racism issue needed another forum to be discussed in, Essendon brought the racism into the tribunal, I'm surprised they had a record of it tbh. Seems they have improved their record keeping

I disagree with your first part, agree with the second. Lets leave it at that please.

 

[DrMike]

4 weeks

 

[Wild Bill]

4 weeks

Fair. It's really only 1.

 

[Chism]

Did lol!

 

[Liger]

Sounds like Dempsey is going to cop a big whack, 4 weeks is my prediction.

Should of wrapped Lids head around the point post, only get 2 for that.

 

[Stopher]

Should of wrapped Lids head around the point post, only get 2 for that.

And that was with a poor recent record, unlike Dempsey!
