Preview R23: Changes vs. Collingwood

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

SEN saying Rachele will be available. Not sure where they're hearing that.

We've been pretty coy with his timeline.

Keeping our cards close to our chest. Not even to the under-promising stage. Under-under-promising.

Gut feel... we are slightly optimistic and if correct, will get a collective boost if he returns early in the finals series. If wrong then it's as suspected, so no downside.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

No way Laird gets off.

Yep

Mackay got off because we were shit and no one cared about us

Now that we're good we'll pay full tote odds for any even minor indiscretion

 

[Samcro24]

Sent the footage of his rehab to my physio mate and he said he’d be shocked if Rash doesn’t play a big role in Sep

Didn’t we establish that your physio is a hack though?

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Heard an interesting tidbit from a reliable source, Tex may have aggravated his back at training today.

****ing hope not, the irony though after being rested

[BRL121]

Ban upheld.

 

[Samcro24]

What a joke

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

What a shock

Maybe in a month.

 

[Cromulant]

I get Rory wishes he was wearing a Hawks jumper on the weekend.

Joke of a decision

 

[Go the Guts]

F***ing VFL.

 

[MrBarry]

Absolutely pathetic

Joke of a decision

Was never getting off with Chrstiansen in charge

 

[MsTopG]

Bit of a rubbish decision but it won't change the reault.

 

[Scorpus]

Sounds like put forward a super strong case

"Laird sensibly conceded that if the Tribunal was satisfied that the conduct involved a high bump that the charge is to be upheld. Accordingly we uphold the charge."

 

[Crowman32]

I wonder if it would've been the same result if it was nick daicos. Wouldn't of been looked at. VFL.

“Sensibly conceded” lol, go get them Harvey Spectre would be proud

Everyone knows the answer.

Wtf?

Why do we bother to turn up wirh a dumb **** lawyer?

 

[Carmo]

Why didn't laird argue he was tackling not bumping? Then argue it was a tackle gone wrong?

Either way, let's concede it's a bump, I want the AFL to clearly spell out the criteria as to how something fits into one and not the other. I'd like to have that documented for future clarity.

Even if it was a bump, how the fuxk it's a suspension is beyond me, theres a hundred as forceful contacts as that per week. It's just incidental contact.

Fix is in.

 

[1970crow]

Ban upheld.

As it should have been. I don’t like the way the games going, but that’s 1 and if oppo is concussed it becomes 3.

He argued he was attempting to spoil with his hands.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Tribunal is a bloody joke but I hope we give Edwards a go.

99% chance it’s smith again

"Laird sensibly conceded that if the Tribunal was satisfied that the conduct involved a high bump that the charge is to be upheld. Accordingly we uphold the charge."

That sounds like an appropriate concession.

He didn't argue it was a bump or rough conduct, he specifically argued it wasn't as there was no intent to bump Cripps.

However he sensibly conceded that, if the Tribunal ultimately disagreed with that argument (i.e. that if the Tribunal determines it was a bump), the obvious conclusion is that it was rough conduct and liable to result in suspension.
