Is it time for Michael Christian to go

[bumsonseats]

Out of touch and clearly lacks understanding of the game he used to play.
Been in the job long enough........

And he can take his AFL cloonies with him

Jeff Gleeson should have been embarrassed to be prosecuting on behalf of the AFL tonight.

I nominate David Rhys-Jones to replace him

 

[Underarm]

Hocking overruled Chrisso to send it to the Tribunal.

They can both go

 

[Defibrillate]

I’m just bemused Gerard Whately and David King were calling for blood on 360 tonight re McKay, yet Whately waved through the Danger hit on Vlaustin in the Granny last year. To me that was far more egregious, taking a blokes head off with an elbow, but “it was all part of the contest” in the Granny. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Whilst not a suspension now its only a matter of time before these incidents are automatic suspensions.
Sad but true

 

[jabba5114]

Yes. Average player average commentator average mro. Give it to Matthew Richardson so he can be average at all 3 now as well.

Word is Christian didn't want to charge him with anything but Hocking overruled him which is why it was sent to the tribunal without a grading.

The amount of normal tackles being called dangerous and bumps being called on potential or injury will eventually cause fan loss.

Gee, you really know your footy dude.

 

[Smeg Head]

Yes but not for the Mackay case.

Hocking though should be stood down immediately.

That’s exactly what GW said tonight like he’s some kind of prophecy of fact.

Ive lost all respect for the bloke.

Then Christian's position is untenable and he should resign

 

[RAPPA]

Reckless (MRO assessments), high impact (to logic and reason) and head-high contact (to our brains). Based on that analysis of his performance, that’s a life time ban for Christian.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Hocking is doing more damage than Christian

I feel like you would be the guy who gets offended at everything, say like a female " Karen "

Are you that guy who sees a cloud in the sky and decides not to go outside because of the threat of rain? Probably.

Surely we can clean up the issue of accidental contact out of this incident.
Ahoy Mr Goyder, step up & hold the Admin under McLachlan to account.

And I bet you be like

Been that way for a long time.

I'd say Geoffrey Edelsten, Perfect for the job.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Should've been sacked after his first year on the job.

That’s exactly what GW said tonight like he’s some kind of prophecy of fact.

Sick of his moral grandstanding, he's a pseudointellectual hypocrite and he should join Robbo and piss off, AFL360 would be much better off without them both.

The irony of this post

The karen's would be the ones calling for Mackay to be suspended, you sound lost.

(B) DETERMINATION OF TYPE OF OFFENCE AND APPROPRIATE CHARGE (IF ANY)
Following review of each report or referral, the MRO in conjunction with the
AFL General Manager – Football Operations will determine whether the Player
is to be charged with a Reportable Offence and, if so, the appropriate type of Reportable Offence. There are three types of Reportable Offences


I refer everyone to the above exert from the document explaining the reporting, MRO and tribunal process released by the AFL and signed by Steven Hocking for 2021.

The final say in all MRO decisions is literally Hocking’s. We simply have no certain way of knowing what Christian’s position is on any given case.

How would Whately have gone on the footy field? Part of me thinks he has a bit of spite as he would've been smashed in a physical contest given the scrawny build of him. Just a theory.

he would’ve been the guy who collected all the cones after training with great gusto and probably wiped the grass off each individual one for good measure

it’s happening in the nrl right now with the league freaking out about concussion and putting guys on report and throwing them in the sin bin for just touching an opponent
