Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero. -

Apparently we have appealed again and asked for a 3k fine instead because 1 week in a shortened season is too muchThey've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: MRO Thread
I mean, if it was the same as the Bourgoyne incident and the AFL said that particular incident isn't what we want to see and suspended Crozier I could live with that.
But it was just such a lesser and different example.
Gordon doesn't need money, he should tell the AFL he's not representing them in fair process if they aren't prepared to uphold fair process themselves.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: MRO Thread
Not that I believe Parfitt should've been sighted at all but his aggressive tackle on Rowell, with no arms pinned, resulted in significant injury to Rowell but nothing to see here. Really what's the difference. One bloke doesn't protect himself with his arms free, the other (Rowell) uses his forearm to stop a face plant and breaks his collarbone in the process.
The level of inconsistency and over judicious footprint that the AFL under McLaughlin, Hocking and co. stamps on this game really dampens enjoyment of this game.Comment

Re: MRO Thread
Medium impact? Since when do they take potential injury into account. Certainly not when anything actually malicious happens.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment

I am so angry with this, just another injustice to a Bulldog player. I really have had it with AFL administration and the running of footballFFC: Established 1883

Re: MRO Thread
The only thing we can ask for is that it's consistent that a sling tackle gets a week. No protecting stars, no outcome based suspension.Comment

Re: MRO Thread
If any other player get off for a similar tackle we need to kick up a stink. It may not make us popular with our peers but we should be seeking consistency. I'll spew if D. martin or Selwood does the same thing and gets a fine.Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...Comment

Re: MRO Thread
Not sure Picasso could have made this more abstract....
AFL QC Jeff Gleeson argued the act was worthy of its medium impact grading due to the potential to cause injury, even though Mahony’s arms were not free.
“A sling tackle can be a dangerous tackle, regardless of whether your arms are free,” he said.
“It simply does not render a dangerous tackle non-dangerous because the arms were free. The player may be able to brace for contact, but he may not.Comment

Re: MRO Thread
You're basically giving the guy with the ball two bites of the cherry. He's fairly tackled the arms are free he has the option to dispose of the ball. I'm OK with that. But not he is tackled his arms are free AND he has the option to wait until an advantageous disposal appears; this increases the likelihood of unprotected impact. Way too much onus on the tackler there.Comment
