Player Watch Shane McAdam

How’s the potential to cause injury here?

That’s 3 weeks.

 

[MsTopG]

Rubbish decision. Crows tax applied as per usual.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

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

I'd seriously prefer a Saudi-funded rebel league to form as a **** you to the AFL. Hopefully the class action lawsuits bankrupt them.

 

[JP Sauce]

Haven't been watching tonight's game, but has there been any big bumps to the body resulting in no injury?

 

[Betts are off]

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

They did, and he won a Brownlow

[beartoo]

& seek a court injunction like Sydney did for Hall.

Yep. We should go for broke here. They have caned this club far too often and we've bent over.

Sloane got done for less

 

[Danger Zone]

Honestly, my passion for the AFL has been waning for a while. It doesn't feel like we will ever get to a point where we are given a fair go and the administrative side of the game is ruining the spectacle.

I'll stick out this year as I've already paid but will probably be my last. I've got my first kid on the way so maybe in a few years I'll start taking him to the SANFL instead.

 

[CrowToon]

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!

Stage a walkout on 23 minutes from the AO.

I think people will be highlighting this example of corruption for a long time

Not when you have AFL media shills like Whately and Barrett defending the decision

 

[pjcrows]

The "potential to cause injury" can be used however they want.

Tribunal: "We believe it had a potential to cause injury"
Defence: "How?"
Tribunal: "We believe it did"
Defence: "What about these examples that we compare it to?"
Tribunal: "You can't compare incidents"

That's it, basically.

 

[cleanhands]

will be interesting to hear the club statement on this

They would have been told to tow the AFL line or suffer a fine

Could have ripped his eye out of his face! 7 weeks.

 

[pjcrows]

The Appeals Board is part of the AFL

A bit like the AFL Integrity Unit investigating itself.

 

[crowholder]

AFL is heading towards a non-contact sport. Tackling will be next on the agenda

Yeah Motlop hit Dekonning with his shoulder running past and got him high

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The "potential to cause injury" can be used however they want.

Tribunal: "We believe it had a potential to cause injury"
Defence: "How?"
Tribunal: "We believe it did"
Defence: "What about these examples that we compare it to?"
Tribunal: "You can't compare incidents"

That's it, basically.

Now they can just suspend players for any amount of games based on some nebulous potential injury.

It is now truly a Kangaroo Court without any care to equity for the player.

This could cost them thousands of memberships on an ongoing basis.

Curnow hip and shouldered Zac tuohy in the head in a marking contest/collision.. tuohy fell backwards and smashed the back of his head on the ground pretty hard.. had to come off.. not sure if they did a HIA..

 

[Samcro24]

You know it’s bad when people say they’d rather follow Nor’d

 

[Betts are off]

Can of worms officially opened IMO.

You could literally attach "Potential to cause injury" to any football action. It's now just a matter of perspective from a obviously corruptible system.

Tackle a player: Potential to cause injury
Spoil a mark: Potential to cause injury
Go in for a ground ball: Potential to cause injury

 

[jamesclean]

VFL scum

 

[John Who]

Guys, I feel like I should be suing the AFL and/or Tribunal panel. They have the potential of raising my blood pressure, potentially leading to blood pressure complications. The end result is, I could be potentially dead or potentially have long lasting depression where I’ve lost my love for the game of footy. The potentials are endless, do I have a case to sue?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah Motlop hit Dekonning with his shoulder running past and got him high

Had the potential to knock him out by centimetres... surely 5 games.

I would rather get into Pickleball
