MRP / Trib. Joel Selwood CLEARED over striking Flog Thomas

[Zouz Kitty]

I'm just going to say it, I have a really, really bad feeling about this! The Tribunal always screws Geelong!

 

[Boxhead_31]

The Cats and AFL have made their closing arguments and the tribunal is set to deliberate. We have to leave the room for them to do that, but don't go far - they haven't wasted any time in their deliberations in the two previous cases tonight!

Acted for the Essendon players v ASADA.

Though they would had retired after all the billable hours after that fiasco

Feel sorry for the bloke that tried to defend SJ.

I love Stevie but I'm pretty sure that half the time he was indefensible.

And by half...

 

[r32godzilla]

Don't think he's a QC. Very astute lawyer, and better than the last few we've had, it seems.

Seems pretty decent.

Ben has particular expertise in managing long and complex litigation and significant inquests and inquiries.

Regardless of whatever the result ends up being, I'm glad our QC actually put forward a decent case this time, our last few attempts at appeals from what I remember were pretty pathetic.

Really pathetic! I posted that too Jensen.

Nah he’ll get off they proved there was insufficient force so anstroking charge isn’t possible

 

[winty]

Who's on the jury? Hopefully not Hawthorn supporters.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Who makes the final ruling? Is it just an AFL official? A former judge etc?

If so Cap will get 8 weeks

 

[Grimoz]

**** what a bullshit process, hurry up and get the **** on with it

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Who is on the Tribunal Jury? Hodge, Lewis, Bateman, Campbell, Dew, Crawford, Dermie?

 

[Munich]

There's an actual jury?

I was being facetious earlier.

Bummer. Thought it might of been a former judge with a good name he doesn't want sullied.
If it's AFL types they'll just do what's best for the AFL.

Hodge Podge and Tashawk

Lifetime ban coming up then

 

[Boxhead_31]

Who's on the jury? Hopefully not Hawthorn supporters.

Jason Johnson, Shane Wakelin and Wayne Heywood I think

Yes there is a Jury (but obviously not of Joel's peers)

 

[Grimoz]

Im waiting for "due to Joel being a flog and swearing in the hearing we have decided to increase his ban to 2 weeks and we have also given him another week for playing for Geelong"

 

[Pack Specialist]

Hodge Podge and Tashawk

Explains a few decisions this season.

Wakelin was a port grub wasn't he.
