Bartel - Guilty Plea

[mijoo]

I say Get rid of either playfair or Kignsley keep 1. Dont like them but incase we need a back up nathan ablett still young just needs 2 be mroe hungry and he will dominate. And how could iu forget big thommy hawkins gonna start At FF everyweek will be a superstar.

Bartel hasn't gone yet i reckon he'll get it down to 1

Rooke in for Bartel
Mooney in for Blake

I saw the game and it wasnt much. It wasnt as bad as Waters who also got 2 weeks a while back. I reckon it should be downgraded to 1 week but the tribunal has been doing funny things this season. Well for your sakes i hope he gets off and you guys can still sneak into the finals

 

[chapmanmagic35]

I reckon he will get the three now.

Thompson said there's no way Blake will be dropped this week....

Ditto chappy.

 

[Conan Troutman]

He got 1

shouldn't have got any, but at least it's better 2 I guess.

Jimmy has had his charge downgraded to one week so will only miss the Saints game.(SEN)



Go CATS!!

Good

Awesome news.. but none of em should be getting suspended now, esp due to the situation we find ourselves in!!

Still one too many, but a good result nonetheless.

Good on the GFC for taking this to the tribunal.

By pleading guilty to the charge and contesting only the grading, Bartel was still eligible to receive the 25 per cent discount, meaning the Cat carries away a total of 149.53 points – a one-match ban and 49.53 points towards his future record.

What would have happened if the tribunal found that the original grading was correct?

Would Jimmy have copped 3 or would he still have had the 25% reduction (bringing it down to 2) in place for pleading guilty?

I believe you get two bites at the cherry. First argue to have it downgraded then if unsuccessful you can plead guilty to the original charge.

I love the Jim, glad it was only one in the end.

1 week was appropriate........i am very glad he didn't lose it and ended up with 3 weeks though..

 

[Mooney_d'King]

In this case, the tribunal was a "calculated risk", as Withnail (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094336/) would say...

 

[chapmanmagic35]

I must say I was a bit critical of us taking this to the tribunal, as I thought he was a certainty to get three.

Well done GFC!

 

[shahla_selena]

Phew. I must say I was a bit worried when I heard we were contesting it - I thought he'd end up with the three.

Now if our players could stop being reported for the next few games that would be very handy!

I believe it's called an 'Early Guilty Plea' so you get the reduction if you plead guilty andnot going to the tribunal. i=If you still got the reduction after pleading guilty at the tribunal everyone would take it to the tribunal.
