MRP / Trib. 2015 MRP/ Carlton Tribunal News & Reports (aka Chook lotto)

[Dramoth]

About right.

Glad Gibbs was tossed out. Common sense prevailed there.

What do we think for Yarran? I'd say about 4 weeks. It's not a great look.

If Conca only got 2 weeks for a vicious attack with his elbow on an unsuspecting GWS player, then Yarran can only get the same result. If the AFL tribunal tries to hand out more than 2 weeks, then Carlton should take the appeal to the courts.

 

[Despair]

Well I just think given people are getting 3 weeks for high bumps, do we really want to send a message that says it's okay to punch people in the head?

Yeah I know, it is disgusting isn't it. I mean some of the s**t players and clubs get away with nowadays without proper punishment is just astounding!!

 

[Dramoth]

Would be very disappointed if it's anything less than 6 weeks tbh.

Your drug addled opinions are worth about the same as Hird's around here... absolutely nothing.

The door is over there... let it hit your arse on the way out the door!

 

[Magruder]

Hey he's a Carlton player, mark im down for 8

Players also punch in the nuts

Heath Shaw got one game for that....

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I was thinking 3 weeks down to 2 with an early plea, but if it's been referred straight to the tribunal with no early plea, then I guess we are probably looking at 3 weeks min. Hopefully Carlton can present a good case and reason for the hit. Chappy trying to act tough and saying it was a weak hit should help, plus the fact that he came back on and didn't seem affected.

The AFL gave Reese Conca 2 weeks for throwing an elbow into the back of someone's head... we all saw how dangerous that was when Phil Hughes got hit by a cricket ball.

How about Yarran gets 1 week and you go cry in your milk.

 

[blue healer]

I wonder how a defence of " I thought I was so brave" would work?

Or, even better, " i lost my brain (paperwork)"

 

[Magruder]

Where's the paper trail on that "punch".

Sure it may have been sourced, and it's about to be paid for but xcan we be comfortably satisfied that it was administered to any Essendon player?

 

[Dramoth]

Go walking in and say it was Chapman... enough said! and he should get off

 

[Magruder]

for a long time Chapman was one of my favourite non-CFC players, (obviously when he was at Geelong), nuggety, hard with good skills.

never realised he couldn't take a "s**t" punch.

 

[Gw2_James]

Should get 2, will cop 4 cause he plays for Carlton.

I think that the delivery method was openly talked about... but you are right... was it administered to an Essendon player!

So he won't get done for the punch, he will be the first player in history suspended for trafficking in punches.

Are you lost!

Conca's didn't go to tribunal-did it?

 

[Aphrodite]

What would he know, he was concussed remember

As if!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

As if!

Concussed, embarrassed, owned.........

 

[Blue Pulse]

So jumper punches to Yarren are ok? if not how many weeks does Chapstick get? It's not like he is an innocent bystander in this.

Chapstick should get 2 weeks for hitting Yarren's fist with his head

 

[Dramoth]

Conca's didn't go to tribunal-did it?

Doesnt matter... it should have gone to the tribunal... but it didnt...

I would be reminding the tribunal of the precedence set by that case.

 

[Jatz]

As if!

Hence the emoticons

No doubt, it should of.

But I think in saying that they decided their crap system wasn't working so they have changed it this year and I'm pretty sure you can't use past cases as a guide line for new cases... this is the AFL

Channel Timmy and Timmy Watson himself will be going through all the footage to make a damming case

I don't think you were able to use old cases as precedent under the old system as well. But it does suck, because you lose a lot of consistency by not being able to use old cases.
