well i hope this DVD incident will get hally off. if it does it will make adrian anderson look like a complete imbecile. the swans must be pretty confident if roosy has come out and said this

I don't really have anything to add. But I want the next 100 to turn over on this thread. I spoke the Nicky D at training and asked if he was excited or nervous about the game and he said "neither at this stage". No-one mentioned Baz. Schaubs said he was hoping to play - but it seemed like it might have just been a stock response.

Go Baz. The game is all locked up and there's probably just one more scoring shot needed!

GOOD NEWS
GOOD NEWS, ON CHANNEL 10 NEWS THEY SAID THEY HAVE GOT HOLD OF ANOTHER VIDEO SHOT THAT DID NOT GO TOO AIR FROM BEHIND THE GOALS AND IT PROVES HE WAS MAKING A LEAD! SO HE SHOULD GET CALLED 'IN PLAY'

No they showed it on On The Coach last night. It used to be on the AFL website at the start of the season.

Actually I think the incident shows Rioli whacking a WB forward in their D50 whilst one of the WB ruckman are waiting to kick the ball from the centre square into the arc. He is probably 40-50m from the ball and play is technically stationary, but they are obviously waiting for the kick.

Hmmm - I just can't wait to be put out of my misery. This wait is a killer and I am getting very nervous. Would hate to be in Baz's shoes right now.

Have they showed it anywhere? Or because its now a report they cant?

[Captain]

If this is true than that's excellent news.

I think he will get off the charge based on it being 'In play' regardless. The AFL video is proof.

[swanzotope]

they just said the players have the right too see all video footage and this wasn't aired

so im guessing none of the channels have their hand on it and the tribunal have it under lock n key

well that seems pretty good for barry regarding in the play, its not as if they were in the goalsquare and the ball was at the other end of the ground

im not sure if this has been posted on the Barrygate but i heard on the radio that benny mathews had the ball when the incident occured and he might be giving evidence - not sure if its true though

also that the swans might get malthouse involved if it goes further as collingwood had a similar case this season with tarrant.
malthouse is behind us 100%

typical bull******** from the AFL
if true, why wasnt this bought forward a few days ago
surely they would have asked all tapes to be looked at regarding the case

i just cant believe this considering the amount of money that AFL generates and how much is at stake

pathetic

For those that didn't see the Brownlow coverage last night (or fell asleep like Scarlett) here's Spider's sign -

because the tribunal have it and the swans could only request it once he had been cited

I was actually in the 'pessimists' camp until an hour or two ago.

They would not have posted this article on the official AFL website if they didn't know something. Why on earth would the official AFL site, quote evidence that the AFL's own educational DVD proves that the assessment of the AFL's own match review committee, was wrong? Because they're positioning themselves to gently back down.

Yesterday, before the DVD came to light, even the afl.com.au Blog didn't go further than the bland party-line statement that "Tuesday's hearing [is] about the biggest thing going around."

afl.com.au take all AFL sportal articles regardless of content. Wouldn't read anything into this.

Vogels and LRT to rotate through CHF as decoys, everybody else plays as usual.

We can win without Hall.
Let's not let it become a distraction.

Vogels is out injured from his Grand final playing for reserves on the weekend
