No Oppo Supporters Tom Stewart's targeted KO'ing of Prestia - 4 week ban

[Sterge]

Some of you need to chill out, be better than geelong supporters.

We dont need to wish injuries on anyone or hope someone evens it up.

Just be content in the fact we win when it really matters.

Also the thread is about Stewart and Prestia

 

[4tune8]

But he bumped when he should have been looking to tackle/intercept… for me that makes it so much more intentional, he wasn’t bracing he was coming in to bump a player that may or may not have had the ball.

It was certainly intentional, the counsel for Stewart even admitted that was the case?????????????

There was no 'may or may not have had the ball'

 

[tigersnag]

Couldn't really care less what the coward gets.

What pisses me off is the process from the AFL. Completely corrupt.

Why aren't people going to games? Simply because they're sick of the lies being fed to fans.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

So there we have it.

Not one single word at the Tribunal hearing spent discussing whether Stewart intentionally bumped Prestia to the head.

Just an acceptance by all present it could not have possibly been intentional.

That is farcical.

I think to get the intentional grading it needs to be that Stewart’s intention was to get Prestia in the head instead of anywhere else on his body

 

[4tune8]

Prestia was stationary

Ok, well it was 4.5.............

Seemed about as manufactured as you can get. A dance rather than a fight.
Guess what, we're being lied to again.

No, not at all!!! It's the intention to bump

 

[tigs2010]

Well at least we share one thing in common with Hawks. We own those Cats bitches in finals.

In fairness it’s only a matter of time until even Melbourne lists Geelong as a finals bitch

I saw that they never even have an intentional to the head grading, will always be careless when bumping. Only intentional if its a swinging fist or elbow.

Which is ridiculous as it was his intent to canon into Prestia, where he hit him matters little in determining his ‘intent’. That’s an outcome of his choice of action.

Well, an admission by Stewart's counsel that he intended to bump........

'Tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson asks Ben Ihle (Geelong) whether Stewart chose to bump.
He says there's no way he could make any "sensible resistance" to that.'

FMD!!!

 

[Growapair]

That would mean he was running at 45kmh to cover 5m in 0.4 seconds.

Dickie how many times do I have to tell you to stop putting facts in the story that make the rest of us look stupid lol

 

[Grockadoc]

Oi tenderwarrior, nice like lurking you muppet!

Got something to say?

Hey!!

I resemble that............

 

[tigersnag]

Who in the media is going to call this manufactured bullshit out?

Geelong wants 3, AFL wants 4. He gets 4 and it's a win for the good guys right?

FMD AFL, at least try and hide the deceit. No shame.

Couldn't. Disagree. If they did, it contradicts what Scotty said in his presser. Which casts doubt over the whole charavyer defence speech Scotty made thereafter.

 

[SunshineBoy]

The AFL has just had the Danny game CTE and they let this slip to the keeper

Token virtue signalling. They don't care. It's all PR for the most gullible to swallow.

Will there be a twist where the tribunal grades it intentional because he chose to bump?

 

[chriso11]

When you say “they” we should be clear here.

It was specifically Brad Scot who classified this as careless. He just happens to be the Geelong coach’s twin brother. But of course, there is no conflict of interest issue for anyone to worry about.

Massive conflict of interest
Only in Afl is this not seen as an issue
They are not only brothers but twins, they shared the same placenta!! Anyone who knows twins knows this makes them super close, inseparable

That they are debating 4 weeks as the maximum makes me sick. Should be minimum 4 to 6 weeks as the range with AFL QC arguing the upper bound.

Game is absolutely rooted

 

[Grockadoc]

Exactly my point. For all the huffing and puffing over the last 5 years about the head being sacrosanct, that if you bump and get someone high, you're gone, Spud's Game, CTE, Shane Tuck etc, it is incredible to think that the AFL have ****ed up head high hits everytime they had a chance to stamp it out and send a message.

Weakwilled, spineless, hypocrites.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Poor ol George will miss and get Dusty.

George is good at missing........goals that is lol

We still love him though

So WTF is going on?

Every man and his dog has agreed that the act was intentional, even his defence counsel, he 'might' have been careless in the execution, but the fact is that he lined him up and KO'd him

 

[Grockadoc]

This is where the AFL tribunal should be made up of person injury lawyers and medically trained professionals.

Completely removed from the AFL landscape so there is no bias, prejudice or influence. They look at the acts themselves.
