MRP / Trib. Dan Butler educates the AFL on what a tackle is

[George]

The Amateur Football League learnt what a perfect tackle is tonight.

I will move all posts into here (we have discussion on this going on in separate threads).

Saints just keep winning

 

[Sully111]

They owe us a holding the ball decision

 

[StFly]

I would have started a thread about it but I was technically at work and bludging as thought it started at 4 since 3 challenges, but wasn't sure. Generally throw it in general as unsure how many actually care to read through it weekly.

 

[Sully111]

Dan had an absolute blinder on Thursday night. Hopefully he can have another one this weekend.

 

[Saint Kidding]

Flynn (AFL) says Laird's tackle was different, in that all of the momentum in this tackle is coming from Butler.

A really nice way of saying he was just standing there like a spud.

Sanity ( Sainty ) prevails!

But what an indictment that no one had total certainty about which way it would go.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Delicious

 

[The Jack Pack]

It's ridiculous that it was even sent to the tribunal in the first place. Great news.

 

[Pardon me]

Sanity prevails.
Should have been a free kick to Butler to begin with for HTB.
Have a blinder Butts!

 

[Plugger35]

Finally a win for us at the tribunal.

The right decision though, it would've been a farce if Butler got suspended for that tackle especially with how ridiculous the AFL lawyer's arguments were

Right decision, but what an awful state the game is in at the moment. Even the fact we had to wait until tuesday night for an answer for something that happened on Thursday is embarrassing.

Interested to hear they even argued it was worthy of a suspension? Like what were they actually saying?

 

[StFly]

Actual common sense from a panel that had Gleeson on it, I am both bemused and questioning if he was awake during proceedings for that to make as much sense as it did in reasons behind overturning.

Sorry Ms Flynn, your assertion that it was a double motion was found to be bullshit, thanks for playing.

Phew, glad that is all behind us.

They pretend it's a courtroom situation but reality is that it's the AFL managing their publicity and making out that everything was done to avoid CTE for when lawsuits come in the future. They wanted to work out what looked worse, battling the media over the heavy handed suspension or looking tough on head injury potential in the future.

I like butts

 

[Feerits Elf]

This reporter suggested "The Butler didn't do it", but was shouted down at the press club

 

[DougalHoward]

I like butts

Man just got double ticked

 

[PoppedCorn]

Hopefully he tackles sniper cotchin 38 times

 

[Feerits Elf]

I like, Dan, Butts and I cannot lie
The dangerous tackle guilt he did deny
When a girl called Flynn wit a itty-bitty waist
Put poor legal argument in yo face

She got SPRUNG

 

[Hubnester]

Man just got double ticked

 

[PoppedCorn]

Flynn
Who the hell is this turnip?
