Michael Christian has to go!

[Snake_Baker]

Seriously, he is completely out of touch.

How did he even get the job?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Never thought I'd ever defend the floggy Matt Thompson, but even he looks awkward having this conversation with Christian because he knows the words coming out of Chrisso's mouth just don't make sense.. That's how bad the situation has got

Christian has the legal mind of a garden slug.

He's an AFL politician. Period.

He just sits their with that wooden look on his face and deadpans utter drivel with a monotone inflection.

He COMPLETELY contradicts the crucial element required to enable the charge at 0:50 of that clip.

It's not just that, it's the umpire contact precedent he ruled, and the bumping interpretations.

He's 8 rounds in to a career and has already produced some of the most puzzling stuff ever seen.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Absolute knobhead.

 

[Whiskers]

Sack him yes.
Wake up north fans, don’t need your bullshit reports for you to finally notice.

 

[Robbie4PM]

He's just a puppet. No single person can be that inconsistent. Higher powers at work here :O

 

[Snake_Baker]

Clear out your desk by the morning.

How must Tom Hawkins be right now?

Wasn't this bloke supposed to smooth out an already convoluted process?

In his 8 week tenure it has become the biggest farce in its history.

They also fined Cameron for kneeing in an incident where the Eagles player was holding on to his other leg and not allowing him to get up, they need to take into consideration if the other player contributes to the contact by also being an idiot.

The whole system is a farce and I am surprised the players haven't taken action. This isn't really about finding the truth, you have this campaigner assigned by the AFL (Woods) who thinks he is starring in some shitty American sitcom and he just throws complete fabrications at the panel attempting to get someone suspended rather than just asking pertinent questions about the incident which allows us to explore the truth of what happened.

I get they had to try something different and went with a one man show. But it’s failed. Horribly. Makes last years panel look competent. Luckily the tribunal still relies on common sense.

Time to change it again so let’s go the the other way this time - 9 man show made up of ex players with outcome based on voting.

Those incidents left in the ‘grey area’ would then simply be determined by which way the majority wants the game to go and some common sense.

Could probably put up a weekly poll on BF and get better outcomes at the minute.
I say this as a joke but it probably isn't far wrong.

The MRP did the right thing. The Tribunal are the ones who decided to let the players get away with everything.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Turned into an absolute joke the whole thing. I believe the original intention of the 1 man show was that the AFL could act as God and dish out punishments as they saw fit. Instead its turned into a complete cluster* of irrational decisions - tribunal included.

Actually, this has a lot of merit.

It's a PR stunt with a wooden, cliched, deadpan monotone puppet at the helm.

 

[JackFlash]

It hasn't worked. I thought it would, but i have mis judged the competency of the AFL on many levels before. It's a complete and utter disaster!

 

[Makka]

He has been a massive fail!

 

[Sir_Loin]

I reckon he’s doing a great job

 

[HairyO]

I reckon he’s doing a great job

Agreed. The Tribunal is the one making the ridiculous decisions.

 

[dumb]

appointing 1 person means that there is no need for consensus and there are good and bad things that come with that. i don't know the inner workings of his job, but are there colleagues he can confer with or is he all on his lonesome?

 

[_Mike_]

He's a Gillon yes man, plain and simple.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

this tosser is pathetic
i ******* cant stand him

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Really going to be an interesting year, he’s a fair idiot

 

[Adz]

The only people complaining in this thread are North, Cats, and Eagle fans. Wonder why?!

He’s doing fine.
