Deledio free to play / tribunal appeal successful [updated]

Reckon they'll give him 2 now

Don't think they can.

 

I think they can

No they can't.  This is pretty straight forward.  He pleads guilty to being reckless with his arm as it was NOT intentional.  With both a guilty plea and the good record he will only get a reprimand.  Need a good lawyer to convince the panel that they would have to be mind readers to prove it was intentional if Brett says it wasn't.

Hope he uses the Chewbacca Defence. "It does not make sense!"

If unsuccessful, Deledio is looking at a two-match sanction, and the first suspension in his 198-game career.

  AFL website doesn't understand the points system.



Viney is up first at the tribunal so Lids' hearing could be held back quite late.

Let em both off! The game is becoming more like friggin netball every day! Tape your nails boys, cant have anyone being scratched. 

[tony_montana]

heard on sen this morning that Lids wont be able to get the charge downgraded from intentional to reckless bc it was off the ball?

I don't know what else Viney was meant to do, anybody can see he wasn't trying to nail him, it was just an unfortunate instance. Very harsh if he gets rubbed out

[Francois Jackson]

Both off but wouldnt be suprised if lids cops 2 and Viney off.

We should have taken the week and be done with it.

big risk

If that's the case then we should go all out claiming the contact was insufficient to be a reportable offence.

If that fails then we should show up the MRP's inconsistency using the Winderlich case from just last week as Lids' defence. Winderlich's was off the ball yet that one was classed as reckless. This week the same act is classed as intentional. Demand a public explanation for why the difference in the space of just a week?

Don't agree with it but he's gone under the rules. Viney will get blamed for bumping which caused a head clash. The fact Lynch also ended up with a broken jaw will make it worse for him.

I've heard that too.  Not sure how Winderlich got reckless as that was off the ball too...

[Eat_em_Alive]

Lids 200th is coming up so if he gets suspended for a week, it will be against the bummers and not gws

[one-eyed]

The jury is still deliberating in the Viney case. 10 minutes and counting.

[one-eyed]

Viney found guilty of rough conduct.

They are now deciding on the penalty. Looking at 3 weeks apparently.

[one-eyed]

Viney got 2 weeks.

Lids is up next.

[one-eyed]

Deledio case is underway.

Deledio's case highlighting he was pushed towards Stokes. A lot of slow motion vision being shown to the jury.

Gleeson now quizzing Deledio on issue of force.
