Re: Maxwell Cleared

HeraldSun said:
COLLINGWOOD created history this morning when captain Nick Maxwell became the first player to win an appeal under the new tribunal system.
Maxwell overturned a charge of rough conduct and a four-match ban in front of the AFL Appeals Board at league headquarters at Telstra Dome.

The tough defender was initially handed a four-game suspension by the tribunal after it found him guilty of rough conduct for a bump that left West Coast Eagle Patrick McGinnity with a broken jaw in their opening NAB Cup game at Subiaco Oval on February 7.

This morning's decision means Maxwell will be eligible to play in the Magpies NAB Cup quarter-final against Richmond at Telstra Dome next Thursday night.

All 10 previous attempts to overturn tribunal decisions at the AFL Appeals Board had failed since the current judicial system started in 2005.

Re: Maxwell Cleared

Best news I have heard in a long time!

Not only a win for the Pies but for the game of AFL in general! Was good to see maxwell acknowledge McGinnity after the trial as his injury was very unfortunate.
 
Re: Maxwell Cleared

Excellent!!

A victory for common sense and validation for an honest bump.
 
Re: Maxwell Cleared

Wow. I can't believe common sense prevailed. I honestly thought there was no way we could have won the appeal until I was reading this morning that they were going to argue on the grounds that he had no choice. I thought it was an unlikely but small chance of actually working. Thank god it did.
 
Re: Maxwell Cleared

This has brightened my day! Great news! Sanity has prevailed. Our game isn't going down the poo chute without a fight.
 
Re: Maxwell Cleared

Here's one for the oldies out there, a victory theme song

Making our dreams come true
We're gonna do it
Give us any chance we'll take it
Read us any rule we'll break it
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
Nothing's gonna turn us back now
Straight ahead and on the track now
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
There's nothing we won't try
Never heard the word impossible
This time there's no stoppin' us
We're gonna do it
On your mark get set and go now
Got a dream and we just know now
We're gonna make that dream come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you
