    She should be fine because although it was a fierce tackle, it was all made in one action rather than the tackle and then sling.

    More concerned about her inability to cover the ground...Looked lame at times.

    What an awful decision, there wasn't a slinging motion in the tackle.

    And in the same match Cranston just went and elbowed Kearney directly in the back of the neck in what was an obviously deliberate hit.

    Christensen is already hopelessly compromised and the main season hasn't started. He fell over himself to let the Collingwood player off and then he invents a reason to suspend someone from a grand final. I don't care that he's Gilligan's best mate or whatever. He shouldn't have been appointed, the role is obviously too much for him.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    We believe you Gil. Many people, thousands probably, would think that you are lying through your teeth. But we believe you.

    My grandmother would have called you a lying hound but she wasn't a gullible person. She didn't like lyers and I doubt she would have liked you very much.


    As I say, we believe you, even tough thousands wouldn't. Millions probably.

    I'm glad we're at least making a challenge:

    https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/...19-p4z53v.html

    Dogs set to roll dice at tribunal

    Katie Brennan faces a date with the tribunal on Tuesday night with the Western Bulldogs set to challenge the one-match suspension which threatens to cost their captain a place in Saturday’s AFLW grand final.

    It’s understood the Dogs have engaged criminal lawyer Sam Norton to advocate on behalf of Brennan after she was rubbed out of the decider against the Brisbane Lions, with match review officer Michael Christian doing what he said was “the right thing” in deeming her sling tackle on Melbourne’s Harriet Cordner to be unreasonable in the circumstances.
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    Cordner hit the ground first with her right arm. Her arms were not pinned. Let us hope common sense prevails.

    Furious at this in every aspect. That the report was made in the first place. That we were so poor in Katie's defence. That the judiciary system again fails to deliver a fair verdict in the spirit of the game. It is just fundamentally flawed.
