Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

[Nankervis brothers]

Sweet. Stewart’s bump was a fair football incident, after all. The AFL can expunge the suspension from his official record, and we’ll treat the four weeks as ‘managed’.

 

[DapperDon]

lol Classic AFL

$$$$$$$$$$$$ over integrity every time.

Cripps to win the Brownlow now and spark more controversy

Too far behind anyway surely Neale is home there.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

What an example this sends to every kid playing the sport and moreso to the cautious mothers who are contemplating on not letting her child play the game .

Eerily similar to how Judd won his one for Carlton.

Elbowed Pav in the eye requiring stitches - let off due to insufficient force.

So that means it's now ok for players bump the head and concus players out

As long as you promise really hard that you were going for the ball!

 

[Sea fog]

The AFL needs to update the rules to include duty of care rule if it hopes to survive long term.

These collision based sports have a limited time before they’re deemed too unsafe to play imo.

The wording duty of care if you choose to bump is in the rules.

 

[CrowToon]

Never change, VFL, never change.

Amazing how they are willing to botch their own tribunal process deliberately so that they can both appear to be tough on rough conduct but be able to 'lose' on a technicality.

Yawn.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Wonder what the new evidence was.

Paper bag..???? VISY phone call?

 

[adammania9]

Disgusting decision. AFL only looks after its golden children. Carlton are a blight on the sport

 

[Collingwoodity]

ah man the salt here is ******* delicious

The salt will be massive if Carlton still fail to make finals.

 

[Stamos]

So that means it's now ok for players bump the head and concus players out

No.
But you are allowed to go for the ball.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ah ok- someone on fox footy yesterday said there had to be new evidence for an appeal.

There’s a number of things where you can appeal but it’s rare it’s for new evidence and it wasn’t here. It’s all about the procedure and how it was followed basically. The wording of bump, etc. I hate these appeals as they are very technical

 

[Deathly]

The club and the supporters needed it, getting a bit antsy.

They're about 3-4 years behind where they should be with making finals and they need to get there at this point with the amount of clubs that have went past them.

 

[Skull Face]

I did chuckle this morning when I saw you'd quoted me yet again last night pre-verdict.

Holding up ok?

How you doing mate? You still OK?

Yep keep your eyes on the ball and you will be protected.

 

[FreoRicci]

Precedence has been set. Players can jump into another and claim going for the ball.
Always the hyped players getting preferential treatment.

Like this?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Tipping that won't be the last appeal this season! Tribunal exposed as a bunch of adventurous frolickers lol

 

[FreoRicci]

Yep keep your eyes on the ball and you will be protected.

There’s keeping your eye on the ball AND acting recklessly

Yeah like this

 

[Sarcoidevo]

No collide with player's head

 

[FreoRicci]

Yeah like this

You’re actually comparing tripping to Cripps’ action?
Okay

 

[Skull Face]

Yawn.

You are giving them too much credit, they are simply incompetent and we took advantage of that
