[Sanecow]

The X-Files something something.

Report on C10 indicates that the tribunal have taken a dim view that Jolly's defence (of no contact made) and are likely to rum him out for 2 weeks.

[BonBon]

Great, it just keeps on coming. We don't even have Ball.

[Barry Schneider]

Graham Bond on 3aw said that Jolly's defence is that he he didn't contact Godfrey and to quote him "it appears the video backs him up".(I thought Godfrey grimaced but I could be wrong.)
Here's hoping.

[Barry Schneider]

Jolly got 2 matches

Graham Bond says there was no contact whatsoever.He is puzzled.

[dann]

Yeah SEN were equally puzzled....

Dean Cox just replaced Peter Everitt as the captain of my Dream Team.

Bondy who knows his decisions well was very critical. He said there appeared to be no contact and Jolly argued he was merely getting himself prepared for a secondary rucking contest. Bondy thought he was unlucky and should consider an appeal.

After seeing what has been let go/downgraded by the tribunal now they screw Sydney, it figures

[EMJ]

Jolly gets two weeks - what a mess we are in now.
No Jolly for Essendon either.

[gazza]

i am not confused.always believed the tribunal is unduly influenced by "big name" players,no matter who is on the tribunal results are always the same,the unknowns get shafted and the reputations get looked after.
swans get the rough end of the pineapple again

Don't worry Laycock was in terrible form on Monday, besides the fact he got Rising Star Nomination, and shoulda got the Anzac day medal, IMO!!!

Bondy said that after viewing countless replays the prosecution wanted to change the charge to contact with the lower leg. It was refused and he was rubbed out.

I think there may have been another charge that was thrown out to do with the lower leg also. Confused and dudded.

Hird made late and violent contact.

As far as the tribunal panel of ex players goes what we need to understand is that these people were put there because they were pillars of the game. Highly regarded fair players (supposedly) so they will always side with the fair players or darlings of the game, because they saw themselves as such. Their own cosy little club of 200+ games.

It will be interesting how other actions such as Hird's will be viewed as the season progresses.

Swans flag Jolly appeal
No surprise there. How the AFL prosecution could consider changing the charge halfway through the hearing baffles me.

Bondy seemed pretty certain there would be an appeal.
