ban is proudly sponsored by the umpires who couldn't give the man 1 of the 5 free kicks he earned in the previous play. Absolutely incompetent muppets.

 

[Dalions]

1 week for Charlie

No ******* idea how that's medium impact

Medium impact on his shoulder

 

[Nathan Barley]

Less annoyed about losing Charlie for a week than I am about it being another example where we lose out at the tribunal for not being a big Victorian club.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Slowmo replay shows Lever angling his head down to exaggerate contact

 

[twhowler]

So tribunal boffins i am assuming:

We appeal

Argue low impact - success = fine. Failure = 1 week.

That simple?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Dunkley monstered Petracca last night. Has a habit of spanking oppo best mids.

 

[Dom PC]

It's a bit absurd that Lever literally had both arms free, doesn't even touch his head in pain, instantly gets up to try and find a player to kick to and then plays out the game and yet that is a weeks suspension...

If that is a week given the potential to cause injury, then every player that ducks their head into a tackle (to try and get a free kick) should be getting a week suspension too.

I get the fine to try and punish the action... but if there is literally 0% damage done, a week off seems pretty harsh.

 

[T Rick]

One of the mids who were clearly tiring. Tunstill could have really used a run.

Yeah but who...the obvious one was Neale but Fages said he wasn't going to do that in his 250th.

 

[twhowler]

Which us ‘sub neale’ people are saying was a mistake. Obv all entitled to our view, but for me a team ruthlessly chasing a flag wouldn’t have cared about subbing out a bloke in his 250th (not even a major milestone like 300 is) and have been focussed on their best player being fit for a big game the next week.

 

[luthor]

Interesting listening to tonight’s the pre- game and they said that by the AFL not prescribing the Toby Greene tackle and just ignoring it that Brisbane won’t be able to use it as a defence, in that if it’s not assessed as in Greens, then we can’t use it as precedence. They said the AFL deliberately sneakily did it this was so anything not assessed can never be used as a defence as we will be if Charlie appeals.


In other words, precedents can only be used by a defence for offences graded by the VFL. Not graded such as Greens, can’t be used. Seriously how absurd.

Another VFL special; you dead set can’t make up the BS that they make. They essentially said it’ll be bad luck for Charlie.

Christian just makes this shizen up as he goes.

Corrupt

Stinks of collusion with the powerbrokers at AFL house

 

[p4p1]

What is driving me nuts is that we also have played 3 games in 13 days.

 

[lionsrules]

MATCH REVIEW: Tiger fined, Greene in the clear

Ok then we will reference the Vlastuin tackle then…

Yer, there was nothing in the Toby Greene one IMO, Vlaustin was just as "bad" as Charlie's if not worse.

I just don’t see how that could be the case. I think a good lawyer rips that argument to pieces.

Christian: Charlie. Who are Brisbane playing next week? Looks... 1 week.

 

[p4p1]

The slo-mo of Charlie’s tackle shows Lever’s free arm bracing for contact on the ground first, followed by his shoulder and then finally his head. If his head hit the deck first and he got up and still played I would see the argument for a suspension but that’s not what happened.

On the basis of everything else similar this year he gets a fine at worst.

Has anyone got rubbed out when the guy with the ball has got straight up with zero duress looking for options ?

Christian is to paraphrase the words of Clarko a ( leave it to your imagination ) who toes the line and still involved with the Pies.

A decent lawyer should rip this decision to shreds.

 

[Happy_Neale]

I’ve got no issue with any player getting suspended if there is consistency - which there’s not.

Hewett and Pendlebury belt Lachie and get fines yet Redman gets suspended.

Similarly, Green gets off and another tackle gets a fine - can’t remember the player a week or two ago and now Charlie gets a week.

It’s amateur hour over at VFL House.

Vlaustin got off one very similar to Charles as well

 

[buttermuffs]

What is driving me nuts is that we also have played 3 games in 13 days.

Nah in 14 days. Thursday against the Pies, Friday against the Roos and then Thursday again last night.

 

[Jivlain]

How do we explain the utter turnaround in our tackling game? That was unreal last night.

Loved the tendency from Kai et al to respond to an attempted fend off by just keeping coming

 

[p4p1]

Nah in 14 days. Thursday against the Pies, Friday against the Roos and then Thursday again last night.

I could counter that by saying they had a 7 day break while we only had a 6. I just think the 3 games in 13 days has been massively overblown. I’m sure in the past we, or even better WCE or Freo have had a Sunday, Saturday, Friday run of games with 6 day breaks or similar but with more travel.

Didn’t they also stay in Adelaide for a couple of weeks? We went Brisbane/Adelaide/Brisbane/Melbourne in the same stretch

 

[Brett C]

The thing I want to know about Answerth is how has he improve his disposal so much? Many, quite rightly, used to point out you had your heart in your mouth when he was kicking. I have noticed all season how much he has improved. Hid disposal used to stick out like a sore thumb. McKenna will have to start as the sub as Answerth is 'undropable' on present form.

Could some one find his season stats in this regard?

Lester reminds me of Bruce Doull: cool under pressure. rarely loses a one on one and uses the ball beautifully!!!!!

It’s better but he is still good for 4-5 really poor kicks/handballs a game

 

[Dalions]

I would have thought 3 in 13 would be pretty common in the AFL these days.

Not easy to play marquee Thursday and Friday night games without a shorter break.
