No ...but it is the official position of the AFL appeals board.

6 weeks....that's about right.

Hall of Fame post.

So the only question left remaining is whether the AFL or GWS will appeal.

Thanks for clarifying.

The question is simple...does the National Player and Official Deregistration Policy apply to the AFL?

A request for a fine ought to have been preceded by a not guilty plea.

Toby has eight weeks of suspension so far in his career. Does he get de-registered at 16 weeks?

3 weeks or less will put him in the lucky category.

But first he has to convince the tribunal of Toby's guilt.

I think you guys love Toby more than everyone...and that's a good thing. I think it is like being a parent....you are not always proud of what your kids do, but you still love them.

Fair enough. Agreed.

I did not come here to troll...I came here to observe how fan identity creates cognitive bias...unfortunately it seems to have evolved into how fan identity creates out-group negativity and hostility. And I would prefer to describe my 'guess' as "reasoned judgment".

And one of us guessed right. Objectivity helps in these matters. So now that every argument that relied on the premise that Toby did not make contact has been destroyed, where does leave Toby's defence?

On Fox, McGuire and Lewis now focussing the side-on vision that shows contact was made.....I could not imagine evidence any more damning that that vision.

See post above. The prosecution rests. Does the defence wish to respond?

You wish. This issue won't be resolved for a few more days (and that's before the 'losing side' - either GWS or the MRO - appeals).

At the very least you can expect these laws to be referred to: 22.2.2 (g) behaving in an abusive, insulting, threatening or obscene manner towards or in relation to an Umpire; 22.2.2 (cc) engaging in any other act of misconduct or serious misconduct. Elsewhere, the AFL has decreed that any...

None of the most recent 'player makes contact with umpire' incidents were not reported by umpires when they occurred.

Unless your parents hated you at the outset, there is only one of us posting under our real name.

Not. Even. Close.

How would you describe this contact? (4min to go in 3rd quarter, if you want to see it in context)

Sock puppet? Is that all you got? But seriously, I work for a company called "Black Ops"...it is jointly funded by the AFL and the affiliated media organisations. Our job is to stimulate negative sentiment towards 'targeted' players....or maybe i am a neutral supporter, who thinks Toby...

Juts like Diesel Williams was immediately reported....three days later.

Since when has 'intent' been a criteria for making high or dangerous contact? He might be at the tribunal on two charges this week.

Diesel Willams got nine weeks for this....and this was when the umpire got in his face....

You have to be suspended for that. You just have to be.
