Non-Richmond games 2022

[Damo]

Won’t matter
They will lose the next two and miss out anyway

And this will make that even more enjoyable

The biggest cheats in AFL/VFL history this mob
Make Essendon look like innocent choir boys

[Francois Jackson]

woldnt be too sure about that. This kind of crap will have them up and about. I have them down for 1 win out of the next 2 now.
 
Can the AFL appeal? Not that they would the cheats just asking if they can on a Friday.

Biggest joke of the year is that Pickett copped a week.

Yep
How Pickett appeal can fail and him cop a week, but then Cripps gets off is just astounding

[Andyy]

AFL appealed Houli's suspension term and extended it.

I hope they appeal this. There was zero duty of care by Cripps and Ah Chee got hurt. No brainer!

They appealed Bachar, and it was held on a Thursday night

afl as you know Andy are pathetic and i suspect nothing will be done about this, as they will never let this drag on over the weekend.

I also suspect we will hear nothing from that imbecile scott, that gives rise to this stupid decision on his watch.

They can't appeal is my understanding

Last nights hearing was the last avenue of appeal under the current rules.

Appeal board sits above the tribunal.

Houli was rubbed out by the tribunal and then the AFL appealed to the Appeals Board

Cripps was rubbed out by the tribunal and they appealed to the Appeals Board which was heard last night

No where else to go

Just a staggering decision

But sums up the AFL 2022 in a nutshell if we are being honest

[Francois Jackson]

I thought they could have appealed however have today "accepted the decision" and will not appeal.

either way its total garbage.

Nope, the Carlton appeal was the final one available in chain.

That's why they've accepted it.

Agree garbage decision

Only one side has one chance in the appeals process. The AFL really are a rabble of an organization.

Hope Dees smash the blues tomorrow btw.

“I think the game’s never been more lost than what it is now – no one knows what dissent is, no one knows what holding the ball is, no one knows what protecting the head is anymore, no one knows what’s a fair contest and what isn’t, we’ve got no idea on basics of the game that we’ve always had a clear understanding of.

“We’ve never been more lost than what we are right now.” - David King.

Crouch late head high bump on Gardiner.

Should be rubbed out for a couple of weeks for that but he'll probably get off on appeal on a legal technicality  .

[mightytiges]

Brisbane 48-26 up at HT which is good for us but the Lions are keeping the Saints in it with their misses in front of goal.

[mightytiges]

Brisbane are one mentally soft side. Once the game isn't on their terms that crack like an egg.

[mightytiges]

LOL. Can I claim reverse psychology?! 

Still would be happy to play the Lions in a final as in the end it was a battle between which team tonight would choke the least. Saints had all the play in that last quarter but 7 straight behinds (thanks mainly to Max King) blew it.

Anyway, a great result for us!
