The Brennan appeal is fascinating - sexual discrimination, commercial ramifications for an ambassador not playing in a GF, AFL not treating men and women the same...what a sideshow!

Feels like a desperation move - throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Interesting to see how it plays out.
At least it is a better argument than 'oh but we already played a final without bob Murphy'!
 
Feels like they're making fools of themselves here. They're in a specific competition, following a set of rules. Does this happen at vfl or vafa level when the point to precedents set in the afl? doubt it. Besides they should have made this case the other night, todays hearing isn't about a review of the actual decisions, its about whether an error of law has been made. Idiots

I would prefer if she got off to be honest ,then if we get up , they won’t have that for an excuse .

There is always an excuse. Besides, we're missing Virgo. Brennan isn't even an All-Australian.

I feel strongly about sling tackles, injured or not. I think it is the mens rules that need changing to bring them in to line with this rule for the girls.

It would be so easy to change the rule....if someone does an obvious sling tackle, automatic 1 week suspension. If the person on the receiving end is injured, they get more.

I don't see it has to be so damn complicated. KISS.

I hope she doesn't get off because it gives us more chance of winning. If the men were playing Richmond in a grand final would you want Dusty to play or play them without Dusty.?

How is this complicated, she committed the offence, twice, and with the rules in place before the start of the season she gets suspended. She is playing in the women's league, what's the mens league got too do with anything. If she was playing soccer she gets a year, it's completely irrelevant.

But in ice hockey that would of only been a two minute exclusion and, and, and in gridiron it would have been a ten yard penalty and automatic first down.

This is sexist, racist and totally discriminatory against pretty blonde girls because frankly she is too good. Tall poppy syndrome. Stockholm syndrome.

Where is the Justice! !!
 
Doggies thinking of going to court apparently


Hope that's a "this could happen", rather than "we're considering dragging this on and on".

Hope our girls are even more determined now than ever...

Let them go in as underdogs ....all of Vic will be on the Bulldogs bandwagon.

Get out there girls and show them your best, shut the lot of them up!
