MRP / Trib. Gazza cleared (again)

[Down at K Park]

Exactly. Glad Ablett (correctly) got off, but hope he learns now to keep his arms down. Kind of squishes the ludicrous notion there are automatic suspensions to Geelong players.

That North guy is really, really unlucky. Perfectly fair bump. Garbage that people think that it’s a suspension.

The problem is the outcome (concussion) results in the penalty, not the action. Him choosing to lay the bump would have been fine if it didn’t result in the concussion. They say if you choose to bump and you hit them in the head expect a penalty. It’s just the way it is, right or wrong. They should have challenged though cause the clash of heads was just an accident. I wonder if they both got concussed would he still have been penalised?

scotty wasn't having a bar of Robbo's stance on 360 last night.

Robbo represents every dickhead who ever called into Finey's Final Siren with the opener, "I reckon..."

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yep. Because they have never played it.

They did play it, well they tried to. Last week.
He got the Shiel verdict downgraded from intentional to careless, and thus a week to a fine.

Then when arguing over the fine:

"Ablett will now be making a submission that his exemplary record means his subsequent $2000 fine should be reduced."
"Ablett's representative is arguing there should be no financial penalty imposed."
