So if someone kicks Greene in the head this week and say they were defending space then that's cool? Okay then, hopefully the Eagles know just how far they can take this then

The most confusing thing is that Greene was fined so clearly the AFL is saying that what he did wasn't in the rules. But clearly if it's only a fine then the AFL don't give a gently caress, If Dahlhaus was even an inch smaller or Greenes foot was an inch higher than Dahlhaus would have copped a stud in the eye. Ollie Wines getting a $1000 fine is also confusing. So he gets let off because he didn't injure the Collingwood player but he left the ground and hit the Collingwood player in the head with an elbow. If there's a high bump without an injury and the AFL suspends them then the AFL bangs on about it being all about the action and not the result. But this bump in particular had an obvious jumping action and he hit him high. The AFL always says that if you choose to leave the ground in order to bump someone and you catch them in the head then you cop a suspension.

To me it looks like they're saying they wish what he did was in the rules because it was terrible optics, but it isn't, so they can't suspend him. The best they could do was fine him as a way of telling the public that it's not on, and that they'll be inserting a rule in the off season. The misconduct category basically exists for the AFL to punish players who break rules the AFL forgot to make before the season started.

The AFL should appeal the case. In the Bachar Houli case it was graded by the appeals board as intentional because he intended to throw his arm back, they didn't need to establish he intended to injure.

The fact that it was a misconduct fine means that his multiple fines for striking and rough conduct are ignored so he doesn't get an automatic week off. Yes it's just as ridiculous as it sounds

I can see Greene getting a fine as teh ultimate in wishy-washy compromise, the truth is somewhere in the middle bullshit from the MRP. They fine him, (so they acknowledge he did something wrong to placate the "hang him high" group), but because it's only a fine they can also be seen to be trying to placate the "you should be able to kick people in the face. It's not netball" crowd. However, in practice what it does is neither. It infuriates both sides, and is neither punishment for the crime, nor validation that he did nothing wrong. And if we are to stay in the practical world, Toby Greene is a fucktard with anger and violence issues, so he's going to do something like this again no matter what you do to him. But I am more worried about the precedent set. Jumper Punch = suspension, Kick to the face = fine.

I don't think the tribunal is bound to accepting the charge as laid and are free to re-examine on merits, I could be wrong though

Watson Hodge Riewoldt Bob Murphy Gibson Mitchell Stevie J That's one hell of a list of big name retirees this year .. throw in the possibilities of Morris, Kelly, McVeigh, Jack, Montagna, Petrie, maybe even people like GAJ and Sandilands aren't out of the question. That would have to be the biggest possible list, or at least biggest in star power since ... 2007? (Hird, Buckley, Grant, Ruccito, Kouta, Darcy, Archer, Lappin, Whitnall, Licuria, Clement, Hamill, Camporeale, Chris Johnson, Pickett, Chris Scott, Wakelin, Montgomery etc.)

"It wasn't something that really sat in the table or parameters," Bartel told RSN radio on Tuesday. If only there was some process they had for referring a case to another body where they feel the MRP system doesn't lead to a satisfactory outcome.

Redpath challenging his suspension, arguing that he shoved Davis in the chest with insufficent force. Considering that Davis is now an renowned stager it'll be interesting if he gets called out on it.

International cup had a big day today with most teams playing today at royal park. Two games still livestreaming Ireland V GB Womens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRIUA2Knx6g Japan vs Croatia mens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4pvy0WAwtU I missed it (being tuesday) but apparently the USA V Canada womens game was called early after a US players was taken from the field in an ambulance. Canada won the game at 3QT and will face the winner of GBv Ireland in the grand final as the curtain raiser for Carlton v Hawks on Saturday. drunkill fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Well that didn't go to plan. I guess they figured they were fairly slim chance to make finals without him so missing round 1 next year doesn't really matter or something?

Interestingly, Jordan Lewis of all people said that what Greene did was not acceptable and that the AFL should have made a statement since any resulting injury would have been incredibly severe. Murphy & Jack Riewoldt also said the same thing but the only player that would have shocked me more would be if Hodge said so.

I would love to see stats on how many times Hodge is mentioned in posts itt. No farewll for Gibson, his groin is still stuffed apparently. Everyone knew it was coming but his retirement still saddens me. Best and fairest in two premiership years. A gun.

He generally knew he'd done something wrong Edit: I'm going to miss Gibbo a lot. Absolute champion of our club. 2 Crimmins medals in premiership years.

I mean, I don't expect him to come out and say 'Yeah I wanted to smash their most important player in the head', but he absolutely trotted out all the 'Nah it's a fast game, clearly trying to spoil the ball' nonsense. Sad to see Murphy go, especially the way the year has gone for the Dogs, with some players just falling off the cliff after the premiership. Goes through all the rehab and pain at his age and there's a real chance they won't even make finals.
