Mason cox suspension - farcical

[ShadeyP]

This is so. It just the AFL.

A push in the back is illegal - but some seasonss it is ok and not in others; as in some circumstances it can be penalised but in others not. Quite clear???

It is still illegal to block more than 5m from the ball but everyone does it - but sometimes it is illegal.

It is also illegal it interfere in a marking or ruck contest (the words are slightly more general) but it is the norm

It just goes on and on - who in the AFL is the dream weaver

Excellent post !

He still needs to pay a $3000 fine for careless conduct.

AFL should be paying him and Collingwood's representative legal team for wasting their time!

 

[Richard Pryor]

Good result, but what a waste of time!

 

[FireKrakouer]

2 hours of over-paid QCs arguing, followed by 6 minutes of ex players in a jury saying "F*** this s**t".

 

[Whiskers]

So he got fined $3000 for what was deemed accidental and a low impact collision?
Am I missing something? I’m still annoyed this is even a fine. Just sack Christian already. Ffs

While he should of got off I don't know how they reasoned it down from intentional to accidental. He clearly wanted to make contact.

But we all know the AFL makes the rules as they go just suit the current agenda.

This week was "Overcompensation" week. Whereas if it was "crackdown" week his ban would of been extended to 2. Watch out if its "someone got a serious impact injury" week.

What a totally ******* up round this has been. Bullshit frees and this farcical outcome. AFL.....what an embarrassment.

Perhaps someone with any sort of legal background or expertise..maybe Christian has some???

He was a stockbroker, from memory.

As I said earlier, it's over-qualified QCs debating vs old bogan ex players on the jury. I assume they thought "not in the spirit of the game", and chose one charge at random to drop.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Jesus. The AFL is going to make a lot of money if they're going to dock $3000 each time for that. What a joke of a system.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Read the headline last night and thought “luckily common sense has prevailed”

Then read this morning he was still fined

Are you bloody kidding me?

Geezus Christ

I really don’t get where the game o going at times
