I reckon Rick Lewis is full of s***, because the standard of proof in these cases is "on the balance of probabilities". The total evidence : Farmer lying dazed and bloodied a fair way off the ball Nixon saying Baker ran at Farmer and blocked him fairly Kirkwood saying Farmer ran at Farmer ...

Well "block" in its ordinary means "to prevent access to". So that's all he is admitting to ... standing in someone's way. If I stand in someone's way on a city street, I haven't bumped, charged or shepherded them or initiated contact. I've simply blocked access. If they got thei...

Hey everyone I am doing a report on the AFL being the most corrupt organisation in Australia, I have quite a few points but I am struggling to get it started so could you guys please help me out with anything you think proves the AFL are corrupt and please don't go to crazy about Baker :lol: I don'...

"A player shall engage in rough conduct which in the circumstances is unreasonable where in bumping an opponent he causes forceful contact to be made to an opponentâ€™s head or neck. Unless intentional or reckless, such conduct shall be deemed to be negligent, unless the player did not have a r...

I'm looking at it like this, at the most basic level. Fact 1: Baker admitted to making contact with Farmer. Fact 2: Said contact broke Farmer's nose and concussed him to the point he couldn't stand up by himself, let alone walk off the ground. The conclusion I draw from that is that whatever Baker ...

Ok, imagine this - you are in a park and there is someone nearby going for a run who is giving you a very nasty look. You believe there may be trouble brewing and decide to run up at an angle and stop in front of him......the person cannons into the back of you and is bowled over, lights out for a ...

Because the initial act is not accidental, but the unwilled and unforeseen consequence is. Consider youself shot down So by that logic if I deliberately stick someone with a knife and accidentally pierce their heart I will no doubt get off the murder charge. No, because the act is willed and the co...

Anyone care to explain how a player getting blind-sided by another with an illegal shepherd 50 metres or more off the ball can result in an "accidental" head clash? After the morons shoot me down in flames, then anyone who has actually played footy can try for a rational explanation. Beca...

In other news, Australian netball captain Liz Ellis has been banned from international competition for life after an incident during the Third Test overnight. In the third quarter of the test against New Zealand, Ellis burst forward to take possession of the ball before pulling up suddenly (in order...

If I'm driving my car and slam on the brakes for whatever reason and the bloke behind me runs up my arse, it's his fault. He's got to leave a safe stopping distance suitable to the conditions.

It really hasn't been long since Nicky lifted his shirt and made us all proud - the jumper he lifted was a St Kilda one. Baker made a mess of that memory with his attack. So let me get this straight. Nicky Winmar lifts his "shirt" (yes she said shirt) and points to his skin in a defiant g...

Time for a breakaway league methinks. Nothing like some healthy competition. For too long Anderson and his cronies have had a monopoly on a top-tier Australian Rules football competition in this country. The laws of the game are set for the AFL and every other comp in the country, right down to juni...

If found guilty, Baker will almost certainly be sidelined for St Kildaâ€™s final two home-and-away matches against West Coast and Richmond â€” games they need to win to have any chance of making the finals. Pretty sure we could make the finals even if we drop one of these games. Pretty sure we coul...

Just heard on the radio that Baker's case had been referred directly to the tribunal - he had not been given an opportunity to enter an early plea. Don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Players are generally given a chance to enter an early plea where the evidence against them is co...

No. That's just what the liberal media wants you to believe.

So who are the two who did?

Nothing to worry about. Just the AFL going through the motions. The case will be thrown out by the tribunal. Agree. I feel pretty relaxed about it. AFL had to be seen to be taking head-high contact seriously. But not to the point of penalising players for accidental clashes that could not have been...
