David Mackay found NOT GUILTY for bump on Hunter Clark

(1/2) > >>

one-eyed:
The three-member jury of Paul Williams, David Neitz and Richard Loveridge cleared Mackay after hearing more than two hours of evidence in an often testy case.

They believed Mackay's actions, which left Clark with multiple fractures to his jaw, were reasonable in the circumstances.

Andyy:
Just watched now.

Looks like he was going for the ball

tdy:
And yet others have been suspended for the result not the action. Once again the AFL tribunal is a farce. Seemed like a pretty clear run through to me and he left the ground. But farce is as farce does.

Andyy:
Agreed tdy but the biggest problem for them surely is taking outcome into consideration rather than intent.

Some blokes go down easy, some don't. Intent is all that matters.

And if you are a Richmond player you get suspended for a potential result
