I can't believe how bad our record is at the tribunal. For years I've been saying our lawyer is the guy out of The Castle.... I know he finally got a new photocopier but he's still useless !!!!! The vibe just doesn't work any more.
Our beak is Adrian Anderson.
Former AFL guy.
I thought we had Jack Rush KC
2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn
We used to have QC Hamill who won in the High Court, our guy made sure he had fresh water. Problem is Hamill went back to Carlton so they'll be fine come September ... on a serious note our tribunal record compared to big clubs is horrendous and there's nothing we can do about it but win the GF and shove it right up 'em !!

So the only part of the body where "potential to cause injury" is a factor is the head?
And even glancing blow which causes no injury is deemed worthy of a week?
The MRO has seriously lost the plot
Looking forward to every careless hit to the head now to get a week
Lynch carelessly hit Butters in the head very late trying to spoil ..... where is his week? Or is it only bumps that have the "potential to cause injury"
I find our Club appealing.
I find the AFL penalty process capricious.
If all similar actions resulted in week suspensions there would have been no appeal, but plenty are waved through or treated as fine-able or downgraded at whim. I think it's good we simply did not accept the corruption and made AFL justify why laws are not applied equally or fairly. Which it can't, but at least we called it out.
