Jaysus wept. He's a dirty little sniper, has been his whole career and he gets off because 'good character'. F*** off.

True! Ridiculous defence, and a farcical outcome! But ... no way in hell was that medium contact! Lever is an absolute tosser, and deliberately pushes his head into the ground during the tackle, and then looks up at the umpire for the freekick! Players are admitting they do it, and he def does it here.

IMO, the end result is fair, even though the tribunal screwed the pooch getting there!

Ps ... is there a more punchable face in the AFL?

So 5 times found guilty of rough play and fined, just not suspended?
And that's an "exemplary" record?
Plus he kicked a lot of goals over a lot of games :rolleyes:
FMD!

Tribunal chair must be a John Denver fan.

Earlier in the night I said Adrain Anderson was having a mare with Charlie's case, and that was without mentioning his bringing up of how many goals Charlie had kicked and how many games he's played, but he's ended up with the W.

Has Boaky ever been reported or suspended? I know he hasn't kicked lotsa goals (missed plenty) , but by this measure he could sling tackle Nick Daicos this week and not only not get a suspension, but not even a fine!

i believe it's actually the "good coke" defense, anyone with good connections gets looked after at the tribunal
 
Bringing up his goal kicking in a character reference is like something Kenny Powers would do, except even the TV writers would consider it a bit far fetched if it actually worked.

Remember when jimmy hird went into a court of law and decided to make himself sound good by getting his lawyer mention his Anzac day medals?

I couldn't be a drug peddler you see because I played footy good against Collingwood
 
Hobart’s AFL stadium has suffered a further potential setback, with a railway shed on the proposed site granted permanent Heritage listing. The Tasmanian Heritage Council on Wednesday granted permanent listing of the Hobart Railway Goods Shed, at Macquarie Point, on the Tasmanian Heritage Register. Its decision, following interim listing in December 2023, further complicates the AFL and Tasmanian government’s preferred site for the proposed roofed stadium, which overlaps the shed’s footprint.
While not necessarily fatal to the project proceeding on the site, it at the very least adds to heritage barriers, with no guarantee the Heritage Council will approve relocation of the shed. “Any future change to the Goods Shed, including relocation within the property, would need to be consistent with the Heritage Council’s works guidelines,” said council chair Brett Torossi. The controversial stadium, widely expected to cost more than $1 billion, is a condition of Tasmania’s entry into the AFL competition.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff was yet to comment but stadium opponents said the heritage listing was another reason to dump the project. “Heritage listing is another reason the government must abandon this stadium proposal,” said Roland Browne, spokesman for anti-stadium group Our Place Hobart. “This listing should surprise nobody. Macquarie Point is steeped in European history, as is all of Sullivans Cove. “The proposed stadium will blight that history and the heritage represented by the Goods Shed. It will blight Sullivans Cove and it will obliterate the Goods Shed.” Some heritage experts argue the shed’s historic values would be diminished if it was relocated but others argue the structure can be successfully moved without impacting its status.

Sounds like a common South Australian excuse for not building anything.

Whatever stadium they end up with, in the words of Andrew Demetriou, "It won't have a roof."

Bryan Brown pulled his Cocktail move when he was asked to fill in behind the bar in the ABC sit com last year Darby and Joan. I did smile when he pulled the move.

Ben’s made a bit of a comeback, every time you turn the Telly on in Perth you see Benny.
Looking a lot better than when I last seen him wandering around Coles like a lost sheep some time back.

Good on him for turning his life around, but he's had a million second chances that almost no one else would get and a long history of poor behaviour.

I'm not that comfortable with the current lionising of him and completely overlooking his history because he was a great footballer.

I really felt for his dad who rescued him time and again from bad places.

Still, channel 7 is building quite the track record of promoting questionable people.

Heritage listing is an absolute cancer all over the world. Cities are designed to be lived in. You've got some of the biggest w***ers in society hoping to deny the average Tasmanian a football team. This sort of egregious nimbyism is something Anne Moran would be proud of. A 110 year old shed that nobody gave a s**t about a year ago is suddenly a priceless monument when it means ruining things for the general population.

Every city has about 5 things that should be heritage listed. Everything else can be controlled by planning approval ensuring that new buildings are in keeping with the aesthetic of the area they're in.
