Please dont agitate the Richmond nuffies.
You lose you focus , look how Gleeson said reconstruct your mind , once you saw the name Richmond your lost it . Instead of looking at GAff case your mind travel to Crotchin and Rance.
 
I respectfully disagree.

The AFL have brought the charge. They're entitled to legal representation, and that lawyer is ethically obligated to prosecute that charge to the best of his ability (within the Rule of Law).

Its not like Gaff doesnt have representation himself. Thats a top Silk standing at his side.

It would cost you or I $5000.00 an hour for representation of that caliber.
What charge? It isn't a real charge.

They aren't ethically obligated to prosecute anything, he isn't a ****ing prosecutor.

It's a very dumb system, all workplaces should operate the same way, there is no sound or morally justifiable reason for a sporting body to play mock court.

Starting position 3 weeks. Real question is their an upper limit to suspensions?
 
Every time I have dealt with a lawyer they have been pleasant,empathetic and professional.
I guess what I should say with qualification is I have only been a victim and not a perpetrator .
All about perspective.

You sound like someone in one of those injury compensation ads :D
 
Injury should be irrelevant. Hall knocked out a guy who didn't see it coming. He could have killed him. Gaff hit was never going to kill
What justice system are you familiar with?

Injury caused is always taken into account both in footy and life.

Yep .. We would be having an entirely different conversation now.. .. They need to send a message to stamp it out completely
State from here on in you get a year ban for this kind of action off off the ball. .
As for Gaff rub him out for 7 which will mean the season even if west coast make the granny. ..
He probably needs to leave west coast ( I know this is on the cards) because to stay now in a two team town he will be copping it from here on in every time he steps out of his house. .. And that's probably not fair but entirely understandable
If he comes to Melbourne I will giving to him as well.

At first I though you dog.

Then I brought the story he was aiming for shoulder/chest.

Then hearing Gaff say that he went for the stomach in the tribunal and changes to chest again.

As for being a good person I brought that too until he start lying to the tribunal.

Blames the dockers from blocking him from the ball. How much does that happen in a game? West Coast were doing worse to Neale but if Neale king hit somebody, I would be supporting him.
 
What charge? It isn't a real charge.

It doesn't matter.

They aren't ethically obligated to prosecute anything, he isn't a ******* prosecutor.

Yes he is. He's acting for the AFL. He is obliged to follow their instructions (as long as they are lawful, and dont conflict with another obligation).

It's a very dumb system, all workplaces should operate the same way, there is no sound or morally justifiable reason for a sporting body to play mock court.

There are very good reasons for Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Tribunals, Mediation, Arbitration and so forth, but I wont go into them now.
 
Two weeks vs four months and permanent physical implications.

It's not even close. Gaff had a monumentally stupid brain fade and he's going to wear it. I still think he's lucky for anything under 16 weeks given those injuries and the recovery that Brayshaw is looking at.
do you even know what CTE is?

Nah. Just saying, you're all free to undertake 5 gruesome years of law school for the privilege of entering a market saturated with young lawyers and struggle to get a job.

It's competitive beyond belief, and a pain in the arse to qualify for. We deserve the money.

And youre always free to represent yourself remember ;)


Agree 1000%. I went through the 5 years hard work and toil. Then after a couple of years in the workplace, decided it was too much for me and i changed industries. Given the hours most lawyers work they deserve every penny of what they earn.
 
Think most here would cop that.
Stupid amount of hysteria on here, and the media furiously circle jerking themselves to a whole other level and just making stuff up.

Was always going to plead guilty, and was always going to get the longest ban in recent history, especially as it distracts everyone from the monumental incompetence of Gil in the last week.
