Preview 2nd Elimination Final 2023 - St Kilda Saints v GWS Giants, 3.20 pm 9 September, MCG

[Andre the Giant]

Is there any grounds for a further appeal? The club has already put out a tweet that he is out? I don’t think the biomechanics person helped our cause…

 

[Giant Pete]

And don’t forget Rampes but a little while back!

 

[Gigantic]

Have we ever had a favourable tribunal decision for a finals game?

 

[Hojuman]

Crock of $hit.

Any " BIG CLUB / BIG NAME " player gets off;
. Cripps
. Heeney
. Neale
. Dangerfield
. Cotchin ( this one we know )
. Pendlebury

Joke decision, cannot understand how a still photo can be used to determine the primary point of contact.

The really laughable ones have been the ones where Giants really are fine to destroy illegally but you get off.

We can still appeal the tribunal's decision and honestly I think we should.

I doubt it'll change the outcome but enough of taking this s**t lying down, we should drag it out as much as possible. Make them own this joke of a decision.

There was no footy this week do every footy show and social media can be asking the question of whether this deserves a suspension. Put the pressure on them to try and justify it.

 

[Adam Giant]

Horrible decision, but we have to deal with it and move on.

XO to come in and take Toby's spot.

 

[Orange Agent]

After the Cripps fiasco I'm not sure appeals board will be worth it given Gill's comments after that case.

 

[BarryAglett]

Kudos to Fisher for his evidence. He really tried to help Bedford - but it's obvious they ignored every word he said.
They decided to get him on the biometrics over common sense.
They are very happy to toss Giants players under the bus when these decisions do nothing to prevent head injuries.

 

[Orange crush]

There's no reason for AFL House to help us ... sure we make finals and that shows they didn't totally waste the money starting us up, but we aren't bringing in a big crowd so why support us in finals in anyway. It is what it is and won't change anytime soon

Yep… works out to be millions difference in revenue.

 

[Powkid]

Fight the F****ers at the Appeals board!!!!!

Don’t bend over and take it these a****es. “Fight until the end!!”
We’ll done Fisher for assisting. It was shoulder contact, good shepherd, should not of even been cited.
I hope Dave Matthews in on the bat phone losing his s**t at VFL house.

There’s a clear vendetta against us every time. We should feel very hard done by.

Well, the media has spoken and it’s unanimous that Bedford should not miss a final.

This is important, as the AFL is ultimately a virtue signalling organisation, they rarely cross the messenger.

We will appeal, and we will overturn this.

Doesn’t sound like we’ll appeal

We aren't appealing. They released a press release saying he would miss a week.
It's a ******* JOKE. It's such a soft bump. Pathetic. Miss a final for that

 

[Callums_Guns]

Doesn’t sound like we’ll appeal

Appeal lost as we can’t get his name changed to Patrick before Thursday

 

[Andre the Giant]

They have until tomorrow, surely when they see the reaction everywhere they take it on

 

[Land of the Giants]

There's no point in appealing. We're better off putting all our energies into preparing the team for Saturday.

 

[ragzztoriches]

On a more positive note, 3 giants in the top 10 for inside 50 tackles/ground ball gets i50, showing just how good we can be at locking the ball inside.

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

VFL house have shafted your mob it’s a disgrace! I hope you appeal the decision regarding Toby Bedford

and it gets overturned. Go well Giants, hope you go deep into finals!

Giants reportedly prepare to lodge a final appeal.

‘Can’t miss a final on that!’ Giants set to launch last-ditch appeal for ‘incredulous’ ban

, Fox Footy’s Mark Robinson says, as the Giants reportedly prepare to lodge a final appeal.

 

[JC100]

Just move on. We don’t need Bedford to beat the saints and he’ll come back hungry against port next weekend.

XO straight into the side

Taylor Callaghan and XO for Bedford, Angwin and McMullen and Haynes stays as sub.
