YEAH PRETTY HARD
Tanner just rolling out a King's Counsel as his defence attorney... Bruce Lehrmann didn't even get that with everyone bank rolling his defence.

They say justice is blind but I don't think it's controversial to think that the outcomes of our adversarial courts system are almost always determined by who has or has access to the deepest pockets to buy the best defence.
I hope so.
More chance for the AFL to manipulate it so their favoured teams get a good run. We're bottom 6, but I doubt we get 4 bottom 6 games. The AFL would want Richmond and West Coast moving up the ladder, and getting back to generating big money and crowds, so expect them to get a bit of an extra leg up.Oh, and while we're dickering about with the game...

That's a decent start, if true, for the new coach's tenure. A 5-0 / 4-1 start is a fair chance.

Bruhn should sue the AFL for $10mil compo.
The AFL don't believe in natural justice - innocent until proven guilty.
There is no official Stood Down / No Fault policy, yet they stood him down and let Noah Balta play when he had been charged, admitted guilt, but hadn't stood trial yet.

Unlike the NRL or Football Australia, the AFL does not have an official no-fault stand-down policy, where players charged with serious criminal offences are banned from playing.
NRL player Jack de Belin and A-League Men defender Ruon Tongyik are among those to have been stood down, then later returned to their respective careers. De Belin had sexual assault charges dropped in 2021 while in March this year Tongyik was acquitted of rape.
Richmond star Noah Balta was given a four-match club-imposed ban after pleading guilty to assault, but played a game before his trial in April.
The AFLPA, the players’ union, lamented the “long and flawed process” and demanded a change to the framework.
Edit forget this very important bit from the story that highlights a lazy AFL. All of the Collective Bargaining Agreement should have been sorted by 31st October 2022 - it wasn't until Septyember 2023, with this one exception still being unresolved as of today.
“Tanner was entitled to the presumption of innocence from the outset and throughout. It was clear to us that standing Tanner down would be premature and disproportionate,” the AFLPA said in a statement.
“The Collective Bargaining Agreement requires the AFL and AFLPA to resolve a Code of Conduct including proper processes and a sanctioning framework.
“This unfortunate set of circumstances is further evidence that such a framework is critical for the game. We remain committed to this work in the best interests of the players and Australian football.”

Players’ Association blasts AFL over ‘disproportionate’ move
The union is demanding change after the young gun lost a year of his career.

I'd even take a wildcard as giving the two teams outside the eight that had the best record against top 8 sides during the Home & Away the wildcard spots. That'd at least give some hope the two teams outside the top 8 that'd give some contest get in, rather than those who can beat up on shit teams cough Hinkley cough
Three games at AO and North and Richmond away. Anything less than 4-1 would be a poor start. If those are the double ups that should be 8 wins from the first 4, Freo win home, lose away and I'd hope win our home Showdown under Carr (it'll take awhile for our big game adverse players to fully kick the Hinkley fear of consequential games to the curb).

Every time I read the name Ariana Grande I think of scissoring thanks to tribey. Before that post I was an innocent.
Similar to the Gold Coast 2025 fixture that propelled them to finals

The point around the AFL making arbitrary rulings instead of ever formalising policies is well made. It’s gone suspiciously quite on refreshing MRO guidelines and developing a homophobic slur / offensive language framework.
