Deledio free to play / tribunal appeal successful [updated]

[TigerMonk]

l just rewind the live replay on foxsports & the geelong player crashes into them & 2 geelong players go down. Deledio should contest it l cant see how them pricks get a report out of that & not report Stokes or Morris

I dont mind a bit of biffo.
If that what it takes to make us a more hardened team im all for it.

Im sick of being the softest team in the league. Weve been the pansy team for too long.
I'd like to see someone go in to deck the tagger and keep on decking him until he learns not to mess with our captain.
I reckon this mob needs to harden up and start picking fights & not letting teams like geelong push 'em around anymore.
It bloody makes me sick!!!

Well done Deledio for leading the way. 

If we are going to lose then lose swinging!!!! 
Maybe we can at least be feared again even if its for being a bunch of hard arses.

The footage is on the RFC website.  It was taken from high up.  Occurs very quickly and he is pushed into Stokes too.

You can't ping someone using that footage from that distance. No certainty what happened there and where if it did occur did it collect Stokes. Oops silly me it's the MRP we are talking about  . Clearly if it did occur then it was with such force that Stokes barely flinched and was able to get involved in the melee and play out the rest of the game  .

was that Deledio that dropped that cat player fronting him

this is what l post in the other topic during the game just after it happened

Correct.  Gibson can knock out Conca with a blow to the head and get off. A glance by Deledio and barely touches Stokes and it's a grade 3 striking offence.

TM the footage linked is the TV footage shown. There is a wider angle footage that was shown where you see Stokes and Lids coming together just before the melee and it certainly looks like Lids makes contact with Stokes with his right arm as he tried to run back to the middle. Looks more of a shove to the chest as Stokes doesn't seem to react or hold his face. Its from a higher angle its impossible to see whether he hit him high or not. Stoke certainly doesn't react to it with any sort of pain. Can't have been with much force.

Stokes didn't go to remonstrate with Deledio, he stayed back, can't have been that bad. If you get elbowed to the face genuinely you react by holding your face or kicking back your head from the shock of the action.

Hope RFC has big enough pills to fight that, what a joke! If that is the footage used please..... Stokes does not even react apart from giving some back, should get off that you'd reckon.

[tony_montana]

Here we go, this shows it clearly.. don't think contact was strong enough to warrant even low impact, which makes it even more certain the cats have ratted him out. behindholes!

Much more clear there.
For me there is not enough force to warrant a report.  That is what I would be appealing.

[TigerMonk]

l think they have got it wrong & it was not Stokes that got hit. 2 Geelong players hit the deck. Newman was on top of the player that was struck to the ground & Stokes was fighting with Morris. The umpires make a mistake
