10/10 Sam Abbott QC.

The AFL can appeal decisions, right?
Considering we play in 2 days time I assume there's no time left for the AFL to appeal?
Was the extra footage all bs and Abbott played them with the adjournment?

"Pane rejected the suggestion a three-week penalty was disproportionate because the nine-match AFLW season was shorter than the men's competition".

Common sense prevails
I'm so damn glad some sense has come into the AFL. I might have given up on AFLW this season if that 3 week ban remained the same.
Good on Abbott for the great defense, great job!

Mr Pane: "Wherever the impact was ... is not the point, it's whether it was front-on."
So are you meant to tackle an opponent only from behind? Get ****ed Mr Pane!
Good to see sanity prevail here. This is one of those decisions that, if allowed to stand, would open the floodgates to suspensions every week.
For what it's worth, I agree that the fact that the season is nine games long shouldn't lessen a penalty. You don't suspend someone for a proportion of the season. You suspend them for matches. If we start downsizing penalties that should be three weeks long to a single week, what do you do with actions that deserve a one week penalty?
The point is that this action didn't deserve any penalty. Barely even a free kick. It sucks that Stack was injured so severely but Marinoff didn't do anything.

It definitely is, yes. I just don't see a good way to get around that other than, obviously, extending the length of the season.
Reading some of Abbott’s defense, I think it’s somewhere along the lines of:
- no other reasonable alternative actions Noffy could act, given the circumstance.
- the force sustained was mostly caused by Stack going forward towards Noff and another GWS pushing Noff from the side.
I have some regained faith in the appeals process after last night. Still not much faith with tribunal penalties.
And it might not seem as big due to being the start of the season. But imagine if your team being guaranteed of a AFLW Grand Final, and you get whacked with a 3-week ban for a similar incident in the latter 2 rounds, and missing the GF as well!

Possibly a result of last years survey? I had a good old whinge about the clubs existing media and communication in the survey. From comments I've read on the board its been a sticking point with most members for some time

The commentators last night and tonight kept saying the Victorian teams are disadvantaged by not playing the local Vic league last year. The local comps still went ahead in SA, WA, QLD and NSW.
Interesting that over the first two rounds there are only 4 of the 14 games where Victorian teams play non Victorian teams.
I'm sure this is just because of Covid and there's nothing more to it.

Borders have a bit to do with it.
Just something to remember when they keep repeating it.
How much of an impact will it actually have when they are mostly playing against themselves for at least the first 2 rounds.
