Player Watch Shane McAdam

[John Who]

Took 90 minutes for them to deliberate “you made some good points but, not listening, not listening, not listening..!”

 

[Crow till I die]

The club should just keep McAdam named in the side after this

 

[WetCrow1991]

They can go and get ****ed. How can you bump someone in the head but there’s no apparent potential for injury, hit them in the body and Shazam you’re goneski! ?

Ah because if something happened that is different from what actually happened, the possibilities for potential injury are endless!!!

 

[CrowToon]

Make absolutely no mistake some Vic-based media darling will go to the tribunal and get a very different result.

 

[BunjiMC]

It sounds like he would have been better off getting him in the head. Because then there is no potential for injury...he is either KOd or not.... ****ing joke

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The club should just keep McAdam named in the side after this

& seek a court injunction like Sydney did for Hall.

 

[cm_perfect]

Ok, that’s it. My emotional investment in the AFL is no more.

I am with George, go the Legs!!

Not that we will win but should all change into a 23 jumper pre- and post-match

They have really opened a can of worms here... and it will come back to bite them with a potential brownlow or gf game.

Lots of football incidents that have a risk of causing injury.

 

[Maddogmetro]

This result means - hit the body, slightly touch the head in any way, you get the penalty as if you hit the head and actually injured them.

It's just wrong.

 

[Flash of power]

Do they charge in 6 minute blocks or per hour?

yep 10 billable units per hour

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ok, that’s it. My emotional investment in the AFL is no more.

I am with George, go the Legs!!

I'm the same.

Perhaps we should start a petition of actual members threatening to pull our support as we have no confidence in the AFL acting fairly.

The AFL can get funked!

 

[FR0GGY]

Can we protest that Cotchin should be banned, there’s certainty for an injury when he steps on the field.

 

[Crow till I die]

& seek a court injunction like Sydney did for Hall.

In fact, I want to hear Silvers come out and say we are considering it after this..make the AFL know we are apoplectic about it and are serious about a court injunction

 

[pjcrows]

By now most people have moved on and the AFL mouthpieces will make sure of it.

But the actual argument by the AFL regarding impact to the body and not the head is quite extraordinary.

They've just completely made up an explanation of a verdict that was different from two days ago, out in the open, knowing that they can.

 

[BunjiMC]

Any tackle that pins the arm is automatically 3 weeks.

There was one in our game last week. Can't remember which Crow got tackled. Maybe Sloane?

 

[BACCS]

Isn’t the Appeals board independent? Isn’t it made up of actual lawyers?

 

[Crow till I die]

will be interesting to hear the club statement on this

 

[Scorpus]

Isn’t the Appeals board independent? Isn’t it made up of actual lawyers?

The Appeals Board is part of the AFL

 

[thirtytwo]

3 weeks for winding a bloke…..this game has now become a farce.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

So the AFL rate an act severe due to the potential to cause injury rather than the act itself. May as well ban tackling or any form of contact.

 

[ams4crows]

AFL probably are already holding over our head like tow the company line or else

 

[Velvet George]

So the AFL rate an act severe due to the potential to cause injury rather than the act itself. May as well ban tackling or any form of contact.

Going to be interesting watching all future cases and how they change the rules to suit again

 

[cleanhands]

You have no sense of adventure!

It Didn’t end to well for me the last time

 

[Betts are off]

The club should just keep McAdam named in the side after this

No-one in Victoria would even notice
