MRP / Trib. Duggan tackle

[SloppyJoe]

Not just the soft cap fee but also legal fees and time commitment from Liam (assuming well enough) and club officials.

We might even rack up a bit of goodwill with the AFL for not wasting their time. Could help next time.

A no brainer to withdraw imo.

Degoey pled guilty so getting a Min on 3 weeks.
AFL asking for 4 weeks at least.

 

[UseR2006]

lmao, the entire degoey defense is

• I did it, accept responsibility so please go light on me.
• Also it was a split second decision and I did the bump wrong, plus he was running fast too so it's not all my fault.

and lastly
- The media is mean to me and it's making me feel bad so that should reduce the sentence please.

Embarrassing stuff

Culture…is it soft

A week skinny IMO.
Name a player that isn't remorseful?

Didn't even have the minerals to phone him.
Sent a text.

Three matches for De Goey​

The Tribunal has decided on a three-match suspension for De Goey.

Chairman Jeff Gleeson said it was an "appropriate" penalty and took into account De Goey's remorse.

 

[Biggie]

3 weeks is exactly what I thought he’d get.

Hopefully Hewett doesn’t have lingering effects.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

100% the song

That was my original thought but maybe something to do with the Perth Demons.

Kysiah Pickett +1 week for concussion outcome. The problem is they set the benchmark too low at two weeks for that sort of action.

3 weeks feels about right, maybe a bit light on compared with some others, but I'm glad it wasn't seen as just a week or two.

Yep, it was a 4 weeka for me.

Just from sharing a training ground?

Apparently David Grace QC (or KC if it's that now) said he didn't like our chances due to "lack of squirting". Not sure how to take that.

 

[Smeg Head]

Pissweak

 

[wce4premiership]

Couldn't we have appealed anyway? Like who cares if he's going to miss anyway, it's the principle.

Exactly this, what are they doing?

That's not worth a suspension and you appeal just to say to the moron who runs MRO that it's a legit tackle.

 

[Godfather32]

We've been showing remorse all week, maybe the AFL will throw us a bone (priority pick)

 

[FKASC]

exactly right - when is a player not going to show remorse? Why make it a discount? Perhaps you add a week on if a player is blatantly unremorseful (will never happen).

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Wow. How a decision to bump in a situation where a tackle could be laid could be anything but intentional is bewildering. It's an intentional decision to inflict injury on a player.

High contact: + 1 week
Careless conduct: + 1
High impact: + 1
Remorse face: - 1

IIRC early guilty pleas were removed? (and rightly so) But now we have an absolutely made up on the spot 'remorse discount'. GTFO AFL.

For the record 3-4 weeks is about right to me anyway.

 

[RookiePick]

Standard big Vic club 1 week discount.

Getting 4 would have been more surprising.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Possibly, the time frame fits, same as the song, the eagle tunnel and the Castore deal. Or just coincidence? Don't people say Perth Demons are cursed? Haven't they been the worse WAFL club for the past few decades?

Hewett effectively got two matches

Hewett effectively got two matches

I don't really like going down the path of losing a player for X, so they should lose their player for X + Y. But this situation has irked me somewhat.
