Oppo Camp General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 5

Does anyone remember the time that Gary Ablett got off even though he nailed someone with a flying elbow? Then did it again the next week?

Probably the only example I can think of where the AFL haven't nailed a repeat offender.

How many shots does a club get at this. He is found guilty, cops 1 match. They take it to the tribunal, they uphold the 1 match suspension. And now they are looking at an appeal? How many shots do they get?

Whilst on appeals, this is not a troll at Geelong, it could be any club doing this. Hawkins obviously makes deliberate head high contact and cops a week. Then in come Geelong and appeal, it fails and costs them $10,000. What gets up my nose is the appeal was frivolous in every way, shape and form. There is no way that decision was going to be changed, so in effect Geelong have just thrown away $10,000.

Now, if I was a paid up member of Geelong, I'd be thinking if the club is keen to waste $10,000 for no real reason, then maybe they don't need me paying my hard earned cash for club membership. As I said, not a go at Geelong, but I'd be mighty annoyed if the Hawks did it.

Best think of it like a court. The MRO is like the prosecutor offering a deal without going to court. Most take it. The tribunal is like court - You go there if you don’t like the deal offered.
The appeal (like Toby this week) follows from there.

Yes

Auto spell will actually be the death of me or maybe appendicitis’s

Happy for Rory. Seems to be a great bloke and he and his wife have endured some difficult times in that area.

I’ll be shattered if the Tiggers don’t win by 100+.

And he got off based on his good record!

When will the AFL assist us with ambassador roles for our assistants so that we can retain them?

Wonder if pike gone means the internal review won’t proceed

Reckon the Chief wouldn't feel too much like doing it right now either.

I wondered if Clarko was in Sydney to approach Grundy about being our defensive coach in place of Glass.

Hope it stops, the longer they keep Brett Burton on, the better.

 

[PT Bar None]

Many of the Crows folks that I know would've put up with Pyke staying if they got rid of the Birdman. Mission not yet accomplished for those.


Also - If Tobe loses his appeal, wonder if he'll take it to the human rights tribunal?

I like it. Grundy is the only reason we didn’t rack up a 100+ margin in the 2014 granny.

What's wrong with that?

Yeah of all the stupid things Glassy McWife*er writes - this isn't close to the top of the list.
