Re: Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal - Baggers - 05-16-2018
So Whateley is pulling the AFL strings now...? Mmm All eyes on May...
This AFL administration is the most confused, jumping at shadows, incoherent, indecisive yet.
We see a hip to the head on the w/e -- broken neck potential -- nothing!!! Touch an umpire... oh dear. I thought the Hawkins suspension was also ridiculous when a strong fine and warning to all players would have been far more sensible.

Simply embarrassing for the AFL.
Another bad blunder by bunch of amateurs....
If they get a week each, or one is done, they should launch court action.
Is there new evidence? What are the rules about appealing? What are the grounds?!

AFL to Tribunal "Wrong answer! Keep trying until you get the right one!" :
Megalomaniacs.

Lets look at this properly:
Umpires who didnt complain about misconduct, have testified to tribunal on behalf of the players fronting up as to why they shouldnt get a fine.
On what grounds could the AFL possibly decide to ask for this to be reviewed??
What LEGAL grounds? None.
There is no new evidence.
It all comes down to a "i think vs he thinks" as to whether it was intentional or not. Nothing more, nothing less.

x2....From Hawkins, May to the Curnows its been inconsistent....the umpires have downplayed all contact as well, its just embarrassing for the AFL IMO.

They keep changing things until they are happy it is seen 'good' in the media :

Yes this is media driven, this is the embodiment of the conflicts of interest that exist in the broadcasters and commentators.
I'll go as far to assert that if CheatsFC had won at the weekend, and if Baguley had not sledged Lamb, this debate would not be happening.
The media are not reporting the process, they are initiating it.
Posters like to make me out as some sort of conspiracy nutter, but I'll assert that if these decisions had been handed down to any club other than Carlton there would be no issue. The proof of this is already self-evident in the absence of May from the AFL's own appeal process.
Further our position is weakened by the apologist behaviour of our media presence, with commentators like Maher basically apologising for Carlton player snot being banned.

Whateley.... Leader of the Lynch mob.
Can't remember him speaking out when Selwood got off punching Thomas. High, intentional, low impact. That's weeks Gerard.

Our bigger problem is really Andy Maher and the other weak minded apologists, the others are just doing what they do naturally, favouring the teams they support and stomping on the teams they don't! As a club we have no voice!
Our club should be out in the media slamming the AFL's rudderless media driven agenda, in a hope to force an Appeals Board overreaction, which we could then quickly but at some cost have reversed in court, based on the existing precedents.
