Standby for verdict

Christo takes another L? He's due to get one right eventually if he just keeps banning blokes I guess.

 

[catempire]

Justice.

 

[frggr]

Thank god for that. The MRO is horrendous.

How long does it take to give the official verdict...

 

[JohnZ]

Glory be.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well done Chrisso

Luke Dahlhaus is free to play. He escapes with a fine of $1500.



Tribunal Chairman David Jones: Not clearly satisfied on balance of probabilities that the contact was high. They were not clearly satisfied on balance of probabilities that forceful contact with ground by the head occurred as a result of the tackle.

How many times does the tribunal need to overturn this clown's decisions before he gets the arse for his incompetence?

 

[Grimoz]

This Ben Ihle bloke seems really good at his job.... give that man a raise!!!

When does Michael Christian in the role of MRO start getting questioned by the AFL media - I may be wrong, but feels like teams are being more successful when going to the tribunal this year than previous years, and that's surely not a good look for the MRO

If those sanctions had all been upheld, you have to wonder how the game would continue. How would smaller guys tackle the larger ones if they could not use momentum to wrestle them down. I'm not talking a bigger guy slinging a smaller one down hard. The smaller guys can only grab and hang on like they're tackling Jonah Lomu? Will the only point of citation be if the head hits the turf? How about requiring the ball carrier to release the ball and try to protect himself?
I like the suggestions I've seen around, first blow the whistle more quickly when a tackler has hands on a carrier. Second, ping the illegal disposals and HTBs more stringently. Third, get rid of that 'he made a genuine attempt to dispose' crap. He missed the ball, illegal disposal.

Justice.

Justice ? Where’s the justice for Crozier for not winning his challenge for the exact same tackle a month ago?

 

[catempire]

A fine is a just outcome. It’s a dangerous action but if a player missed a final over that you’d be livid. Suspensions should be saved for actual injuries/harm.

If he had any self respect he would stand down. Has no clue whatsoever.

Mahony's head hit the ground and he went off the ground bleeding. Dala was successful in his challenge under the argument that Crouch's head never hit the ground (which it didn't)

Joint venture proposal to launch Michael Christian into the sun

Dude, we have Ben Ihle.

And one was a perfectly executed tackle by crozier and the other was a sling by Dahlhaus. Crozier didn’t sling him at all or release him. What was he supposed to do?

That's not fair on the sun...
