[granniewolf]

Yayyyy Billy has been cleared.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

He’s been cleared. Free to play.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Woo hoo

 

[Doc1763]

[Matrix10]

Common sense prevails , not much left in today's world. Go Billy

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Let’s wait for the AFL to appeal now..

 

[GreekLunatic]

Common sense prevails bloody mro do your job right

 

[ANewDawn]

To the posters who urged the club not to contest the suspension, believed the suspension was necessary to clean up the game or that Frampton would not get off - I am glad the club didn't have a chance to listen to your arguments.

 

[delta_magpie]

Maybe the AFL isnt dead.. there is some hope

The MRO did do their job. And the Tribunal has now done their job as well.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

I'm relieved, I love footy and I was done with it if that was upheld, wonder what Linda Lovelace thinks about that?

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

The right result.

 

[GreekLunatic]

He should never been suspended I hope this deters ducking

 

[handy point]

I thought something was fishy when I saw the AFL prosecutors name was an anagram for Neck Pain.

I completely agree. I think the MRO is constrained by the matrix, so it played out at the tribunal. And unusually, it seems like most pundits are happy with that....

 

[MagpieDean]

So, when is a good time for us to talk about the MRO and what should constitute a report? I know the tribunal is independant of the MRO process, but if the MRO says 3 weeks and the tribunal says none this suggests to me a pretty big disconnect around what's actually considered reasonable and proper.
If head office can't get this stuff right, what hope do 750-odd listed players have?
Please, can we have some constency from the AFL across strategy, umpiring, list management, rules, tribunal process. It's got such a "make it up as you go along" vibe.

One of the few times the club has ignored BF.

Thank goodness!

 

[unplugged]

You can't tell me the media narrative doesn't work towards a player getting off. The minute it happened, no one seemed outraged at Frampton. Not even Ralph went hard at him.

 

[Knoxy]

I'm sure Checkers is as happy as we are that Billy got off.

 

[ZEV]

Spare a thought for Melbourne supporters…

Maynard ended Brayshaw’s career…
Moore finished petracca’s career with the Demons…
now Billy and checkers….

For a combined total of 0 weeks….
