Are they on the tribunal? The Sylvia one was obviously wrong but the Goose one was right under the rules that now apply. Goose could have tackled. Chose to bump and then pays the consequences.falka wrote:I just cant believe the decision v the Colin Sylvia Jaw break bump. They are absolutely pathetic. As soon as Anderson and Demitriou go, we may get some common sense back.
The rules have changed since then. Gia would probably go out for several weeks if he did that today.doppler effect wrote:That decision is a bloody disgrace!
And yet that pr*ck Giansiracusa had no case to answer when he destroyed Kosi's career.

Plunger can - watch him. The tribuneral, the MRP, the AFL admin, they are all demi-gods whom we should be thankful for, and heaping praise upon - shouldn't we Plunger 'ol pal.............Mr Magic wrote:
To me, that's the problem with this whole MRP/Tribunal farce.
Is there anybody out there who seriously thinks the MRP got that Kennedy/Sylvia incident correct?
And yet we have Anderson publicly spruiking that they did.
Therefore it is legitimate to hold it up as a precedent when watching any other similar case.
Until the AFL comes out and publicly declares that the Kennedy decision is wrong, then nobody can speak with confidence as to what the MRP/Tribunal decides on similar incidents.
Still got those hilarious names. That is sooooo funny. I dont think any of those are demi gods and make mistakes like many people, companies etc in life but does one mistake then mean that all decisions should be based on those mistakes and yes I know they didnt admit the mistake with Kennedy it certainly looked to me like an error.True Believer wrote:Plunger can - watch him.

My reading of the press at the time was that Demetriou and Anderson were pretty pissed off with the MRP about the decision (how could they not have been? it was an absolutely ridiculous decision), had taken it up with the MRP, and had met with dumb stubborness in response.plugger66 wrote:Still got those hilarious names.

Not that I necessarily agree with the decision on Maguire but the difference is that Davis only option to not cause head contact was to not contest.35...LEGEND wrote:I'm sure someone will tell me.........
But how was the Goose incident different to the Neon Leon clash with Fish?
Both accidental,similar consequences,different MRP/Tribunal ruling's.
Not saying Neon should have gone,just that Goose is very stiff in comparison.........IMO.
Both gone or both off.........seems a little inconsistent.
Not a hilarious name at all Plunger - I jsut happen to think it's a more accurate reflection of your internet persona that your chosen nic.plugger66 wrote: Still got those hilarious names.

Please make me be the most popular on an internet forum. It is so important. God help people like you who want to be liked because they dont have a true friend in the world and rely on unknown internet people. Now please go run that poll because it would really upset me if even 2% of people liked me.True Believer wrote:Not a hilarious name at all Plunger - I jsut happen to think it's a more accurate reflection of your internet persona that your chosen nic.plugger66 wrote: Still got those hilarious names.

It's really about as amusing as your constant habit of defending the AFL, umpires, and any associated hierarchy with one line sarcarstic retorts, no matter what the incident. If you doubt that how you are perceived on here then we could always try and run a poll?
If an umpire pulled out a gun and shot one of our players, on the field, during a game and then penalised us for an interchange infringement if the replacement player run on before the stretcher came off, I would be waiting for you to post in the resultant thread about how the umpire was technically correct as the deceased player's body hadn't left the ground so we technically had 19 men on the field.
It wears very thin after a few years.
Promise I'll stop if you do...........
What has pluggers opinion got to do with your opinin, why bait another poster and turn a post into a personal stoush rather than just state your opinion. Dont understand the point of this post. Looks like deliberately trying to get in to an argument to me.True Believer wrote:Plunger can - watch him.
