Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

Re: Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

You are wrong.

Reason????
(Plus your quote of my post edits out the "However")

Look at the video, Pickens second hand clearly comes up to grab his opponents arm.

Was there a free kick to the letter of the pedantic rule book? Yes
Should it have been paid? No
Is Razor Ray Chamberlain a tool? Yes.

I'm in the minority here but I have to say I agree with you HM - Picken clearly grabbed Darling by the arm. However, if umpires penalised those sorts of minor infringements on every occasion they occur we'd have free kicks at every single contest.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Just cause the free is there, it doesn't mean the player (Picken in this case) should be penalised for it. I don't know a way to get my point across? I guess if you get me you get me, if you don't you don't.

It's still not a free though. It goes against 15.1.1 (a) and doesn't satisfy the criteria for 15.4.5 (e)

But falls into the criteria for 15.4.5 (c). That is what it was payed for and that is Razors and Geish's reasoning for defending the call being made.
Refer previous posts about my opinions of why it should have been let go.

Would probably agree with you on this statement though.

Re: Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

They used (c) in their reasoning? Seriously thats even more pathetic. I had assumed they went with (e). Goes against the spirit of the law.

Gieschen has now has put himself in the same category as Ray - incompetent.
He obviously had a previous job as a defence lawyer for Pol Pot.

Just by way of follow up, Ray has a gig in the Wobblers vrs Port this Saturday night - the AFL thus justifies his non-performance last week - pathetic.

Re: Shock news: the Geish defends Razor

The AFL is becoming a living example of "The Emperor's new Clothes"

The umpires are right.
Tanking doesn't exist.
Chris Judd's deal with Visy is absolutely fine.
GWS didn't break any rules re poaching players.
The 'draw' is fair.

THE WHOLE FRIKKIN' VILLAGE KNOWS THE EMPEROR IS NAKED!!!

But Demetriou and his parade keep marching in their overblown nude march,
blowing their own trumpets and thinking we are all idiots,
Sure, a bit of spin from Adrian Anderson will bamboozle all us peasants.
A little bit of 'pretend legal terminology' from the goofballs at the top will ease our concerns.

I'm probably in the same camp as a lot of people,
if I didn't love the game itself so much I would be out of here.

Totally agree and you can add a lot more to your list as well. TV exposure and free to air, the pursuit of dollars to the detriment of smaller clubs, ANZAC day and block busters, Stadium deals, the whole shamozzle with start up teams, ie taking 18/19 years olds off Adelaide and Melbourne for starters (they should have been hands off), the so called tribunal system, rule changes, the sub rule debacle and the effect it has on players and injuries.

I can go on and on.
