Contract Status: Free Agent (?) 2027

They knew they were powerless

Similar to how we defend transition, sometimes it's just too hard to try

 

[Howard Moon]

Ihle (Bombers) says by pleading guilty Wright is adopting evolving community standards "perhaps in a way where his conduct ... maybe even two years ago, would have been much more defensible."

They knew they were powerless

yep

AFL and Tribunal can't throw this out
The precedence isn't bad. Tribunal has to be consistent on this all the way up to GF week....brownlow contenders included.

This is where the world's heading. It's not about specific situations but how you can be a sacrificial lamb for an agenda. Sad state of affairs.

dig at the Cripps call the tribunal made perhaps?

 

[jdBombers3598]

Why would we plead guilty? Do they think he would get a longer suspension if he didnt plead guilty?

 

[jmoo wan]

he’s guilty… of being innocent of all charges

"Gleeson (Chair): I do find it a bit surprising the submission from both parties is that the mark wasn't open to him"

Lost cause or not, I think they should've fought harder here.

 

[brutus76]

Gleeson's clearly never played a game in his life or understands how contests works

It’s a disgrace watch them give him 4 weeks anyway
I feel sorry for wright.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Nothing surer.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Pleaded guilty in the hope he’ll get 3 weeks. Hope it pays off as AFL was looking at min. 4

 

[Call Me Cake]

Suspended for 4.

 

[Seb78]

That sucks. Back for Anzac Day

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Geez, I reckon I could've done better than Ihle.

Our lawyer is a numpty, if he is part of the coterie then that goes to explaining quite a bit about the clubs failures if this is who they listen to.

 

[thepokey]

Can't believe we didn't use the reasoning that Wright often looks absolutely petrified of contact and the last thing he usually wants to do is touch another player so it was all about the ball

 

[Learntopray]

If it wasnt obvious with the supplement saga, we have the worst lawyers in Aus.
If we had Carltons lawyers Wright would've got off and Afl/Asada etc wouldve owed us an apology.

4 weeks

 

[scythe]

What a crock. Both by the AFL and by us.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Imagine pleading guilty to cop the 4 weeks anyway. They really are useless every time it comes to a suspension/the tribunal.

 

[Godzke]

Same length of suspension as SPP's hit earlier this season which was very deliberate and concussed his opponent.

Should've been two weeks tops (three if Cunningham failed a concussion test).

This lawyer represented us with that as well

 

[MightyDon]

If I was in Melbourne I wouldn’t go to the game after this, for one what a pathetic disgrace this club is and two the game is completely ****ed if a headless chook running back with the flight of the ball now has free range to mark a ball uncontested

 

[ant555]

They where never going to win anyway. The AFL has changed the rules every year. I do not agree with it but it is what it is. No point complaining about the fight or the Lawyers. The AFL has stacked the deck. He was never getting any less than 4. To start balming the club is just rubbish.
