#AFL Finals week 2 weekly discussion thread

[Bloods05]

I can't understand why the tribunal is always in Melbourne. It's made up of a few random ex players and a couple of lawyers. They could find those in Sydney, or even fly the key ones up.
It's far more descriptive to the player to travel than the lawyer.
Just another 'relative fairness' which isn't fair at all to certain clubs.

Relative fairness? Are you shifting the goalposts Baz? What happened to reverse fairness?

Toby lost his appeal.
Even the AFL.com.au reporter at the tribunal couldn't believe it.

If I was GWS, I'd take this further.

[Hotpotato]

T. Greene scratched .

Take it further where?

Very surprised. Supposed to be a stand alone charge.

When one of your primary tourist attractions is "good coffee", you know you're struggling.

What is it with the pathological hatred of Melbourne, did a Melbournite steal your girl friend or kick your cat?

To the High Court, along with the other conspiracy theories.

[Bloods05]

Fantastic result. At long last the grub has got his just deserts.

[barry]

Take it further where?

They will appeal on thursday.
Hopefully held in Sydney.

No fan of Greene but the tribunal chairman said that his record was totally irrelevant. The week to suspend him was the incident in the Bulldogs game. This week's incident is trivial in comparison. If they can appeal, he will get off.

Not sure about ex- players on the tribunal.

Will the Giants risk stirring up the vindictive nature of the AFL.

Greene getting off last week and suspended this week is a farce. Court of Victorian media public opinion.

[Bloods05]

Greene getting off last week is a farce. You're absolutely right about that.

This week equally farcical

There needs to be repercussions if GW$ appeal. They’re rewarded if his one match ban gets over turned. He should get an extra week if it isn’t. GW$ should have to think long and hard about defending him rather than instantly allowing them to mount a hasty challenge.

[barry]

There should also be equal repercusions against the MRP and tribunal if the appeal is successful. If U read the transcript, is almost impossible to see how he could be suspended.

Were you all such defenders of the tribunal back in 2005 final series.?

[stevoswan]

I have to agree with Barry, Stellation, Bloods05 and Blood Fever.....he should have been suspended last week but this week is farcical. He is a grub but he shouldn't be banned on a two week accumulation of offences largely due to the howls from the heartland. I've never seen a player suspended for massaging an opponents face with his forearm.

If GWS take it to court/sport appeals tribunal, wherever......they will win and he will play.
