Nathan Schmook:
AFL counsel has finished making case and Lake has finished evidence.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

AFL prosecution didn't ask much, they trying to let him off?

 

[NarniMagic]

If this is Lake's defence for trying to wriggle out of something he's clearly guilty for, then I can't wait for the ASADA/Essendon trial. Oh my that will be glorious

 

[Roobound]

18:20

Nathan Schmook:
Footage is clear there is a forceful application of Lake's hand to Petrie's throat, according to Woods.

 

[Roobound]

18:21

Nathan Schmook:
Lake's evidence is that he attempted to grab jumper of Petrie between the shoulder and neck.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

If he does go I feel they'll give him something less than expected. The expected is around 5, so I'll guesstimate at 3.

Must speak to Blades urgently about not making jumpers with built in scarves. Dangerous.

 

[Roobound]

18:23

Nathan Schmook:
So the jury is going to consider Lake's evidence against footage. They won't take into account Petrie's evidence in the case before.

 

[BlueRoos]

Perhaps the only thing Bri left out of his testimony was when he was handing out presents to the orphans in the crowd and Big Bad Dish lunged at him and used his head to lock poor old Bri's arm.

 

[Benno_900]

Five weeks is ridiculous.

3 is about right.

Nathan Schmook:
Lake's counsel also using footage to back up argument Lake grabbed at jumper not throat.

 

[Roobound]

18:24

Nathan Schmook:
They saw the footage does not contradict Lake's evidence.

 

[Roobound]

18:25

Nathan Schmook:
They also want to point out the fact Lake has not spoken since the match despite constant media commentary.

 

[Roobound]

18:27

Nathan Schmook:
"He entire;y accepts the wrestling, the struggle and those aspects of it at his instigation were unacceptable."

 

[Smoocher]

Anyone know why LMAC did not challenge Can't believe he got done for tripping when I see at least one incident of tripping each round.

 

[Roobound]

18:27

Nathan Schmook:
"He does deny the choker hold … he does deny grabbing him around the throat."

Clean ankle tap.... reflex but still there...

 

[Roobound]

Jesus they are struggling


18:28

Nathan Schmook:
Lake counsel now comparing case to jumper punches that "we see every week".

oh dear

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Can someone explain why it matters whether he has spoken in the media?

 

[NarniMagic]

Can someone explain why it matters whether he has spoken in the media?

It doesn't. Their whole defence is a shambles.

 

[benbanjo]

Can someone explain why it matters whether he has spoken in the media?

Probably locked himself in his house just incase....

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Their defense has pole-vaulted the shark.

 

[Roobound]

18:32

Nathan Schmook:
They saw he is "guilty of aggressive wrestling"

 

[Benno_900]

Can someone explain why it matters whether he has spoken in the media?

Probably just a cheap shot at Petrie.
