I can't believe how bad our record is at the tribunal. For years I've been saying our lawyer is the guy out of The Castle.... I know he finally got a new photocopier but he's still useless !!!!! The vibe just doesn't work any more.
Didn’t we get Butler and Caminiti suspensions overturned within the last year or so?
I’m fine with this decision tbh as long as they’re consistent.
From tonight’s verdict:
“Guidelines provide any high bump which constitutes rough conduct that has the potential to cause injury will usually be graded at a minimum ‘medium’ impact, even though the extent of the actual physical impact may be low.”
If they’re going to contest that any head high contact with potential to cause injury (regardless of outcome) and is avoidable through player action is a suspendable offense then that’s fine in my books, but it has to be applied to everyone evenly, including cases where it would rule out star players from finals and Brownlow.
