Disappointing as he’s normally one of the better special comments guys. Him and Dal Santo are both quite good

Gleeson always sounds like he’s trying to put away war criminals at The Hague.

Sounds like a bit of a God...Frey Jones style rock bottom operator

I realise the not guilty verdict means we aren't required to pay the $10k appeal fee but is there a mechanism for the AFL to be required to pay Port's legal costs in situations like this? Because if there isn't, there should be.

Dont these guys do it pro bono? I know John Firth did it for about 25 years in the SANFL before we entered the AFL, and continued on for several years at the Magpies. Have to ask him if he ever did AFL cases.

The one good thing about this is that SPP was not just found guilty, with the severity reduced so that he didn't get suspended, but that he was "completely exonerated", meaning not guilty of any wrong doing.

Great outcome!

I got a feeling that Krupka has done well for us at the tribunal before but I could be wrong. That closing argument will probably lead to a change in procedural rules.

Who is this Gleeson?

A QC who likes to make the players look as vicious and bad as possible.

Post #9 and #10 I put up summaries of all the big head high cases since 2015 to then, and you read the language he uses against the players compared to other QC's and you can see he is ruthless and gets the panel to give longer suspensions than when other QC's are doing the job for the AFL.

Which has the added bonus of making big "chriso" look like a complete muppet

Proud that we backed SPP on this.

By asking him to play this way we should also bear the risk of Dan Christian throwing ludicrous, racist charges against our guilty before being proven innocent Sam.

Dan Christian the handy all-round cricketer [emoji2]

Nice to win one for a change. Well done to Port for taking the assholes on.

What I hate most about this system is the rough justice aspect. You are free to appeal a kangaroo court judgement but if you do and lose the appeal you pay for your shot at justice. It is really blackmail.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Justice done.

Pep train rolls on.

 

[PowerBaz]

Now rest him

My God, he looks like someone I used to work with... and he was one helluva campaigner.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Jury is deliberating on the Dalhaus one

 

[sog35]

Dan Christian and Trevor Gleeson should stick to their own sports.

 

[Grave Danger]

lol - Karl Langdon on 6PR thought SPP should've got 3 weeks! What a moron.

 

[chachi11]

Luke Dalhaus free to play.....Christian 0-3 so far this week, flipping idiot.
