Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal

[Gointocarlton]

Key word was 'intentional' re Hawkins. Our boys and May, 'careless', which is unintentional. I think Gerard has his cods in a knot with Hawkins being a Pussycat 'n' all.

Key is also Hawkins (on advice from legal council) pleaded guilty. So he walked in, pulled his pants down and got reamed by the tribunal. Cest La Vie

Curnows pleaded guilty....to careless contact.

Hawkins couldn't plead guilty to careless contact because he walked up to the umpire and reached out.

Reckon the AFL will appeal it. Media heavyweights have gone nuts about it. Not sure why little was said about May also getting off?

All over social media and mentions on AFL site they are seriously considering it and have till midday to lodge it.

More to come I think.

Its BS.

Both umpires said that at no time were they threatened or thought anything of it. One umpire didn't even recall the contact at all.

If the umpires don't bother mentioning it, how can a player be suspended for it? They can't.

If the AFL are to appeal it for 'the good of the game' then perhaps they should shut the media up who keep pointing these issues out and blowing them up out of all proportion so the AFL is FORCED to act on it...for the good of the game.

Its a bad look, sure, so stop highlighting it.

I reckon they won't.

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??

SEN Gerard Whateley in his closing statement at the end of his segment said he is adamant the AFL will be appealing it and it be announced shortly.

Joke if it happens. And if it does we can be 100% certain both brother will be rubbed out.

AFL wont appeal if their is any risk it wont be overturned. They cant afford to do that.

And did I mention Mr Whateley happens to be a life long Cats supporter.  :

May is on his way to China, so maybe that's it, but thought they'd still appeal and do it next week.

You only get a week if it's intentional. Charlie's was obviously careless.

If I were the Tribunal members I'd tell the AFL to stick their job up their @rse.
