AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
I really hope GWS take this bullshyte decision by the tribunal to an appeal.
Michael Dooshbag Simpleton Christian most likely had been told from higher up to suspend Hawkins for his roundarm on Friday night.
Once that had occurred, Toby was a sitting duck to get a week even though they were different type events. That’s how the AFL rolls in their retarded methods.
Then, once Hawkins fails to lose his week at the tribunal last night, Toby’s fate is also predetermined for tonight.
It’s an absolute f****** farce.
I’m hearing that GWS tonight are irate. I’m looking forward to the QC’s getting involved and court challenges. I want GWS to BURY those arsewipes at the AFL and their arrogance. It’s what they deserve.
And finally...
GO GWS!
Smash the Pies and use this crap as ammo on Saturday!
Whately on AFL360 is basically saying it’s BS also

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
Based on known evidence given and vision available........
he should not have been given 1 week
similar slight contact to face .....any other player would not have got a week......
makes a farce of last week if anything appeared worst.......
What happened last week should not impact on any decision this week......
virtually any player now who makes the slightest contact to face in a scrimmage of players grappling has to now be guilty and 1 week at least............
the contact was just so fleeting......

Correct, but that’s not the reason for suspension.johnnyrayflamingo wrote: ↑Tue 17 Sep 2019 8:44pm Toby is a total d**khead though. 2 finals straight.![]()
Unless of course you are a moron and you run the MRP.

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
The Tribunal is not an independent body, it is a department of the Franchise Manager. It's not a court of law, and justice is not part of their charter.
The AFL reckon Toby creates a bad image for their brand, hence the penalty. But it could be worse, Steven Baker probably would've been suspended for 12 weeks for a similar incident. The difference is the Franchise Manager (AFL) are heavily invested in the success of football in Western Sydney.

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
If any team should be upset it should be Brisbane. Greene eye-gouged the Bont and got a fine when he should have received a suspension of at least a week. He went to get 30 touches and 2 goals in a game that was decided by 3 points.
I agree that Hawkins should've been given at least two.

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
The MRP are just squaring up for their lack of action over the Bont incident the week before...should never have played this weekend regardless. He's a hard player to love, hope he enjoys sitting on the pine.

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
Collingwood factor is the key here. Eddie and Tom Brown for days straight pushing the agenda swiftly followed by the Collingwood minions. This is a joke and only a AFL flag waver would think THIS incident deserves a suspension.

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
Another inconsistent tribunal!
Last week he should have got a week, this week just a fine.
It's a bit like an umpire who makes a clanger and then realises it, and then evens up with a soft free the other way.
But "Two wrongs don't make a right" (to misquote Arthur Calwell).

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

2 things
Michael Christian is a peanut, and a Collingwood peanut for that matter...and who are Collingwood playing this week?
...and I’d be amazed if GWS do anything. The AFL more or less owns them. Be careful biting the hand that feeds you.

Farcical
Reminds me of Stevie Baker
His action on Bont was far worse

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
I think it’s the right decision. Should have been suspended last week as well. Hawkins should have got 2 weeks.

9 Entertainment, the Company which runs $10,000- a head fundraisers for the Liberal Party, have put on the public record that the economic circumstances of the Nation are such that what is being paid for rights to sporting coverage is not being recouped from advertising revenue
The AFL is reliant on revenue from broadcast rights - and obviously not looking to take a haircut
Hence the engagement with “grass roots” football competitions, consolidating and increasing public awareness and public interest
Ditto the need for a Collingwood v Richmond Grand Final - the viewing audience presented in negotiations over broadcast rights
The Cartel which runs the AFL have a problem identified by the statement of the 9 Entertainment COO
9 Entertainments rights to the cricket have now expired - having been assumed by 7, the same Network which has the AFL Rights
So there is only one free to air media Company bidding for the cricket and AFL Rights - and why would 7’s business model differ to 9?
We have seen 9 fail, rising again as a Phoenix Company, 10 being assumed by a Trade Creditor and Murdoch writing down asset valuations and retrenching staff

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
There is free to air legislation albeit well watered down these days and where the pressures on Murdoch see agitation for further watering down to advantage Murdoch’s subscription investment, an investment significantly written down on the Murdoch Balance Sheet, delivering a holiday from any tax obligations (indeed the legislation repealed)
So into this cauldron of political manipulation and influence comes the subscriber service Amazon?
Imagine the response of Murdoch because hid investment into pay to view services in Australia will be a worthless pit gobbling up even more money than currently
Amazon v Murdoch
Who wins that?

Does anyone think that if this was Taylor Adams that he would be missing this week? Not a chance in hell would they suspend a Collingwood player for this Ed would tear the joint to threads.

Referring to what he did to Bont. But what is he doing putting his hands on the face of the Lions player? He knows he's doing it too, it is deliberate and totally unnecessary. He can miss a final and have a bit of a think about it.
Nee!

Re: AFL is a Joke. Tony Greene still suspended!
Yep this. Also lied at the tribunal with a bulls*** story that he was trying to reach the ball. Lied after the last tribunal when he was “so sorry”.
