MRP / Trib. Joel Selwood CLEARED over striking Flog Thomas

[Sttew]

There's an actual jury?

I was being facetious earlier.

There’s no jury

 

[Pack Specialist]

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

Liar!

Joel has no peer!

 

[devilsnap]

There’s no jury

"Chairman Howie now giving closing instructions to the Tribunal jury members."

Jury?

 

[Pack Specialist]

Wakelin was a port grub wasn't he.

The other one.

 

[frggr]

There’s no jury

Yes there is.

 

[The_Todd07]

Jury?

Looks like we've got our coach or at least his brother on the jury

 

[Sttew]

"Chairman Howie now giving closing instructions to the Tribunal jury members."

But these are regular decision makers not random members of public like a jury. Terminology

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Ihle also argues Selwood's contact with Thomas was at best incidental contact and, therefore, not sufficient to sustain a striking charge. That concludes his closing submissions

 

[you pick one]

Jury?

That's an up grade on my two.

Wakelin was a port grub wasn't he.

That was his brother Darryl.

Longest deliberation of the evening

Waiting for Clarko's bribe to clear.

 

[DangerHere]

God, so much drama for nothing done.

The AFL is just a freaking basket case

 

[Gogeelong]

This is an embarrassment to the AFL system

 

[Strange Cat]

Longest deliberation of the evening

Probbly waiting for half time to make a verdict

 

[Grimoz]

Surely if he was gettinf off it would be done by now, prepare the board for melting season because its about to hit

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Liar!

Joel has no peer!

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

Implying that Joel has no peers!

 

[cats_09]

Reading through the last 5 or so pages has been so nerve racking - wasn't sure if there was a result yet or not

 

[Gogeelong]

impossible based on the spirit of the game and the facts

 

[Art Vandelay_]

This is an embarrassment to the AFL system

"
The Tribunal has now retired to consider its verdict. I think Selwood escape suspension because I think the jury won't be satisfied both that he (a) intended to strike Thomas and (b) that the blow was of sufficient force.

Will get a fine if it's found to be careless, or be thrown out if not of sufficient force."
