MRP / Trib. 2022 MRO Discussion

[Dazzler9]

Pane says there was significant potential to cause injury because Rioli left the ground and took great momentum into the contest.

WTF? Contested marks are now banned.

This would set a ridiculous precedent.

Precedent doesnt really apply to the AFL tribunal to be fair

of his 2019 mark of the year award and suspend him for a week.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

In a just world not only as my man QC demolished Pane, but Pane himself has sabotaged his own case.

In a just world.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

If you go for a mark, and miss the timing by an instant, you will pay the consequences. That will take high marking out of the game of football. That's what the tribunal has to consider.

"If you go for a mark, and miss the timing by an instant, you will pay the consequences. That will take high marking out of the game of football. That's what the tribunal has to consider."

Oof, GG Grace QC.

 

[BartBart]

No evidence from the umpire who was right there & didn't give a free kick?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

STOP GETTING MY HOPES UP WITH YOUR MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE IN A RIGGED COURTROOM

 

[UseR2006]

one last parting shot, if the ship hadn't already been blown to bits...
"David Grace says it's easy to make assessments of what a player should do watching slow-mo replays, but it is near impossible for a player to be held to such a high standard in split seconds."

Game set Match. Now we wait for a Verdict.

 

[Biggie]

David Grace has got me all hot and sweaty.

I like it

 

[Hap Hapablap]

If rioli gets suspended for this. The speccy mark as we know it is dead.

 

[whatis]

Thought it was a strong argument. The no high contact by way of the doctor, umpire, and player evidence seemed solid.

Shouldn't have ended with "mistiming a mark by an instant" though. Should have stayed with eyes on the ball, didn't see Rowell, so how could Rioli calculate the potential to injure somebody that he can't see.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

This is such bullshit !

Can't believe green got out before his ton again

 

[squashface]

That was brutal by DGQC. It was like he took the flaccid Nick Pane out to a nice dinner then never called him back.

 

[Keys]

Whatever the verdict at least we put up a solid argument

Unfortunately, like the game itself we likely still lose despite a brave effort

 

[W.C. Fry]

Honestly they should all get off tonight.
MRO and the bleating media will look like idiots.
I get duty of care to the other player, but the other player needs to have a duty of care to themselves also.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Grace was very consistent for 4 quarters tonight i thought..

 

[Bender_]

Masterful closing statement by Grace:

The reason for Willie's hit was due to doctor's orders. His network had been provided with a medical certificate. He has been diagnosed as suffering from a work related injury and as a result he is on sick leave till further notice. I will not go into any details as to his medical condition as I wish to keep that strictly private. He is doing his best to work with the network and his doctors so he can recover from the hit. He intends to return back to shit mixing campaigners as soon as he is fit and able.

 

[squashface]

Reckon they'll make Willie wait a couple of years for this one too?

 

[RookiePick]

Pane should just tell the truth.

We're catching heat on socials and the brass don't like that, so uphold the week please.

DG argued a range of valid points and the Pane's rebuttal is basically "yeah, nah"

No doubt Willie wears his week off regardless. ****ing muppet show.

 

[squashface]

Even if they want to uphold the suspension they should let him off just to spite that turnip Garry Lyon.

 

[Goroyals22]

Slobbo and Gerald going spare that the has appealed and the arguments put up..
Gonna be great watching if somehow he got off..

 

[jaxxon]

I still don't understand how we are here if there is no contact to the head. Totally confused.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

I still don't understand how we are here if there is no contact to the head. Totally confused.

Cos Michael Christian is a bitter git

 

[Goldfish]

I still don't understand how we are here if there is no contact to the head. Totally confused.

I'm in the same boat... If it's the fact there is the 'potential' to contact the head the game really is just about done.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Dunno why we didn't hear from the umpire or Rowell.

Rowell: Nah, no contact at all to my beautiful orange face, can't touch this beauty.

Case dismissed.
