AFL rep:
5 bullet point reasons.
Mansell is a blind ******* that should be aware of his surroundings.

Richmonds rep:
Lynch and Hammer ran 20-30m, even though Mansell had NFI about any of it as he never saw them.
This was just a separation thing just as anyone would do.

Ginbey is stronger than Mansell as his push was more forceful.

Doubling down on the fact that yep - pushed into path of oncoming forwards.

Addendum to above:
Apparently my updates are better written than the AFL memos, as according to rep Tovy, my two likes means my posts are read whereas the AFL memos were entirely dismissed by all and sundry.

Sneaky mod edit...

TIME FOR TASTING AND DELIBERATION. ALLEZ CUISINE!​

 

[StFly]

And ban is upheld, Rhyan once again is disappointed after he went "that's not how you spell Ryan..." only now he has the propensity to shake his head in disbelief instead.

Thank you one and all reading this rendition of

TRIBUNAL TUESDAY
​

I hope everyones Tuesday evening and rest of week follows the same trend of knowing nothing when pressed for more information, not knowing what is around you at any given point in time, not seeing anything within 40m of you and most of all when punching someone in the face always try and blame them for it without saying that you never punched in the face.

Only then, will you be welcome at Punt Road.

Why didn’t Mansell just say that he didn’t know that Lynch was going to belt O’Connell in the head when he pushed him?

Why didn’t Mansell just say that he didn’t know that Lynch was going to belt O’Connell in the head when he pushed him?

He already said team orders were for Lynch to stay TF back and that his eyes were everywhere but looking towards goal at all in any capacity, so it'd be a bit of a stretch of the imagination to then turn around be all "yeah I didn't expect the sniper would you know snipe and whack him in the face".

It'd then show that yep, he expected that Lynch would lead at a ball going I50 and summarily be in the vicinity to ruin his "I have no idea where I am and what I am seeing" rhetoric. This is what the trib stated in response, that it was reasonable Mansell would have a clue about who is in the F50 and what they would do, and they didn't buy his LOC would ONLY mark and that Mansell wasn't in fact positioning for a crumb so it was hence a FU push and ban stands.

Addtionally their "we'll allow it" played against them as AFL council immediately went "yeah, he read the ball drop and his eyes never were on Lalor" to then juxtapose what Mansell was saying and vision to go "since you had NFI and hyper focused a back, then you never intended the ball and just infringed, thanks for playing".

So really they argued the wrong point from the start and it was all downhill from there as their arguments were just picked apart time and time again.

I dont know about everyone else but the more the media expose Sam Mitchell's and Hawthorns under handed actions the more I hope he and Hawthorn fall flat on their faces. He has become far too smart for his own good and thinks he is beyond reproach, when in reality he is a snivelling little narcissist.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

 

[DougalHoward]

thinks he's denis rodman

 

[jwikked]

He has a habit of not winning premierships. In this caper, it is premierships, and premierships only.

Don't agree with this. A coach can get a team into the Grand Final, it's on the players after that.

I find it strange that so many people count the lost Grand Finals as a negative with Ross. Making them is a huge achievement.

 

[StFly]

Also looks like he forgot to moisten the scalp as looking mighty red below the obvious red.

Us baldies know the wisdom of moisture when shaving the ol noggin, Lurch obviously needed a bald bro for pointers beforehand.

collingwood by a shitload

True, and good on him if he wants that pressure. I love it. I love characters like this in sports. AFL has in too many conservative types.

Just not enough to get carlton's useless coach sacked before our game

I rate Lobb I think we should've recruited him, can play forward, back or ruck he's underrated.

Staring down a very real chance of Carlton going 0-4 tonight. You love to see it.

It will be funny to watch but it would also be funny if they knocked off Collingwood after everyone has been talking them up.

That's unlikely though, not only are Collingwood a better team but they have had a bye while Carlton have had a 6 day break.

He essentially got as close as possible to winning one without actually getting there. At that point it was almost luck.

 

[PoppedCorn]

every loss TDK gets closer...

 

[Hayes4PM]

Just looked it up, Lachie Fogarty is 26, how is he still on a getting a game for Carlton???



He has kicked 25 goals across an 8 year career as a forward


By gawd

Stealing a wage is how.

Also, what a riveting game, collective 5 goals for the entire quarter, I'm sure they're both very proud of the effort thus far...

 

[Hubnester]

Hahah I though this weird apology video was an April fools joke, I caught a glimpse and was waiting for the camera to pan down and reveal he was wearing a hawks guernsey the whole time. But no apparently that's just their... brown strip?
