Poor Toby. If on,y we knew the real boy, we’d have more compassion for a great kid.

Re: MRO Thread

Hard to disagree with Barrett here:

IF ...
Adrian Anderson has been defending players at Tribunal hearings for a while now ...

THEN ...
my head still never ceases to involuntarily slowly shake when it happens. Represented Toby Greene this week, unsuccessfully. As footy ops boss of the AFL, Anderson introduced the confusing and inconsistent Match Review Office system. In my eyes, there's certain roles certain people shouldn't take.

Re: MRO Thread

The AFL tribunal hearings are laughable and have the same energy as children putting on a show for their parents in the living room. Paying QCs $10k a day to put forward arguments about vague legal concepts that don't actually have any basis in the rules of sport as if not playing a game for two weeks is some greivous human rights violation that demands due process.

I mean what are we even doing.

It's like they're arguing Rowe v Wade level proceedings.

James Rowe v Doug Wade ?

Rowe should have the right to choose to bump or not.

I would prefer to see Normie Rowe v Ron Casey.

How many weeks?

The sickening love of Toby continues.
Carey writing "We know Toby plays on the edge"
Playing on the edge is a good thing. Using your skills to stick your boots into an opponents face is criminal as is eye gouging. The injuries he inflicts are as deliberate as his goals.

Re: MRO Thread

GWS crying about Geelong not cooperating with the hearing. They didn’t send Dangerfield for evidence. What goes around comes around.

I don’t get the love for Greene either. He’s a dirty player.

It's because the commentariat is full of Neanderthals, and people who commit acts of domestic violence against women and indecently assault them are idolised, as are people who are violent on the football field.

Yeah but Greene's good as at footy though

Re: MRO Thread

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Hawkins tackle on Joyce, Geelong seems to have a long history of "favourable outcomes" at hearings. The verdict from Woofers on Cordy's tackle on Saturday seems to be universally accepted as probably worthy of a week. Hawkin's effort appears very similar, and resulted Joyce’s head hitting the ground in the tackle, and he was subbed out of the game with concussion.

Of course Patrick Dangerfield will also make another appearance, he must have been granted parking privileges by now. What's the betting ? One dog gone, two cats let off. Odds on favourite.

Re: MRO Thread

Hunter $2,000 (First quarter on Shiel)
Cordy $2,000

Danger. No penalty, did nothing wrong
Hawkins. No penalty, did nothing wrong
