Tribunal Guidelines
Here is my rant....
I first read the tribunal guidelines last year after the Maynard incident where lots of people were jumping up and down about the decision and I was making the case that by the way the guidelines were written, it wasn't a reportable offence which is what Collingwood succesfully argued.
They were supposedly re-writing/tweeking the guidelines to try and address this. From a read of the new guidelines, they have failed to do this and they are so ambiguous that it makes consistent decision making almost impossible.
Even at the level of grading if the reportable offence is "intentional" or "careless".... Below is just the most basic example but speaks to the Cameron and Bedford incidents of the weekend. For a "dangerous tackle" to constitue a rough conduct charge, it needs to meet one of the following 4 criteria.
1. The tackle consists of more than 1 action.
2. The tackle is inherehently dangerous (e.g. spear tackle)
3. The player being tackled is in a vulnerable position (e.g. arms pinned)
4. An opponent is slung, driven or rotated to the ground with excessive force.
Looking at those criteria, I don't even know how you can arrive at a "careless" grading for the charge? Point 3, potentially, but i'd still suggest that pinning the arms in a tackle is an intentional act? Otherwise, every tackle described is an intentional act.
Point 3 is a major issue. Every tackle is in some way putting the player being tackled in a vulnerable position. The only way I can see this getting fixed is that point 3 has to accompany one of the other 3 points to be considered a reportable offence, e.g. arms pinned and more than 1 action, arms pinned and lifting/slinging, or arms pinned and excessive force used.
The other issue I have a significant issue with is the "Impact" guidelines which state that "consideration will be given to the extent of force and in particular, any injury sustained by the player who was offended against" but then goes on to say "The absense of injury does not preclude the classification of the impact as severe". While I understand what they are trying to achieve here, it leaves it very open. I'd also suggest that the counter is just as valid and the presence of an injury shouldn't preclude the classification of low or medium impact? That is exactly the case I'd be making with the Bedford tackle. I just don't see in that tackle how the force could possibly be considered "severe" impact!
I could keep rambling but should stop

Agree completely
Agree 100%, and this is not about protecting players from injury, it's about protecting the AFL from future litigation. If it were about minimising injuries then it would apply across the board, so it you deliberately bump someone and break their ribs, suspension. If you applied it this way, so you could actually argue it was injury mitigation, Darcy Moore would have got 12 weeks for breaking Petraca's ribs and lacerating his spleen with a deliberate knee. (I'm in no way advocating that this should be the case).
Watching Origin 3 last night, under AFL rules every player on both teams would be suspended fornthe next 15 years! And it was great!!!

That was literally the next
That was literally the next part of my rant that I backspaced because it was dragging out too long! The only injury they are considering in the context of the guidelines is a head injury! The guidelines certainly don't state that the only injury that they apply to is a concussion but that is certainly the way it is applied.

Hawks were solid today.
G'day there Frosty, she's a tough gig coaching WC ATM and I think while honorable, Schofield should've turned the opportunity down until he went through the application process.
They are a basket case for few years.
I hope everyone is well.

Wasn't that long ago people
Wasn't that long ago people were laughing at Freo making the top 8, will be an interesting 5 rounds to see if they can maintain it, or even stay in the top 4. I recon they will.
In the shed listening to the radio Saturday after the game, Langdon and Jacko ripping shreds into West Coast was something, wish freo had that passion, no easy fix for west coast. Langdon having an issue about some of the current players who have been resigned 2 and 3 years...he was in disbelieve its happening and that there still making the wrong calls.

Not convinced
Jury still out for me on Freo, the way I see it they have won 4 of last 6, Gold Coast in Perth, Richmond and a very average Melbourne team in Perth are not wins to get excited about. Sydney was a very good win! Lost to a good Hawks side who are flying currently, and got pumped by the bulldogs who are also showing some good form of late.
The run home, they have WC this week and need to win by a lot to increase % as much as they can given the closeness of the ladder. after that they have 4 games against teams (Ess, Geel, GWS and Port)who are very very good on their day but not always, which coincidently is exactly how i would describe Freo. So they could win all 4 and finish second if the cards fall their way, or they could lose all 4 and miss the 8 altogether or anything in between.
Going to be an interesting few weeks ahead, shades of 2016 for those Doggies supporters though!!

And to think, when the Eagles were on a roll (two in a row) earlier this year, and were a near certainty to knock off North and Saint Kilda, I thought we could get over Hawthorn...

I've been on the Hawks bandwagon too mate. After tipping like a clown at the start of the season and being 15th out of 18th in the family tipping comp, I'm now up to second place. Backing the Eagles 2 weeks in a row and against the Dockers 2 weeks in a row has helped me a lot (in more ways than 1!).

Pretty interesting RE Barrass and some fairly solid reports about him leaving. If Hawks come knocking with 2x first rounders it'd be awfully tempting. Especially consider his back is pretty rooted after he ruptured that disc last season.

Evening gents,
Getting to the pointy end now...
Freo fucked it losing that Essendon game unfortunately...
They might not make it depending on others now but..... GWS got extremely lucky Brisbane didn't put them away in the 1st the other day so I'm giving Freo a chance this week then its home to face Port....
I wish you luck lads....
Re Barrass, Hawks won't be paying two first rounders, we've never been a club to throw the baby out with the bath water and by the sounds of this draft - there is a lot of talent right out to pick 30+, good even bunch of kids...
Eagles aren't really in a position of too much power right now, they need to get young talent in asap... If Barrass wants out then they'll facilitate his wish but Hawks wont pay overs...
Bris, Port or Hawks for the flag......

disagree
Not sure how WC are not in a positon of power given Hawks want Barrass, and he's currently contracted for 5 years at WC, and WC don't want him to leave. I'd say they have all the power and then some. Hawks have 2 options, pay the dues or miss out, there's plenty of other suitors willing to pay if he really doesn't want to be at the Eagles in 25.
This years draft is supposedly heavy on mids, so not sure that comes into it in this trade.

Probably is trying too hard
Probably is trying too hard as most of the team hasn't stepped up to make a decent effort. Once he gets that he will start playing the team game a bit more, at least he has the balls to back himself and have a go unlike a fair few of the others in the team. I think Scoffield will sort that out in the preseason.

Brad Mac.... My point
Brad Mac....
My point is.....
With Tassie coming in and the situation WC find themselves in they need to cull and get what they can for players worth currency....
Barrass won't see finals during his WC contract and possibly again in his career if WC don't get the draft right before Tassie comes in....
The Eagles need to do what Richmond are about to do, clear out anyone with currency and reboot...
The Hawks don't need to pay overs to a club that is on their knees to get a 29 yr old player that wants out...
Just my opinion of course...
Bolton requested a trade back west today, I assume that will be to Freo as they have the draft hand to suit....
Richmond are likely to have P1 + 4 other 1st rounders with Rioli and Baker likely to go also....

Very true
Agree completly that WC should be offering anyone they can up for draft picks or they are stuffed for the next decade!! But still need to be as tough as they can negotiating. For what it's worth I think Barrass wuld be a good fit for the hawks if he can stay injury free, but I reckon a deal that works for both clubs and the player is going to be a tough ask.
I the tigers offload Bolton and Baker to Freo (3 picks) and Rioli to GWS (1 Pick) plus already have the number 1 from the wooden spoon, their rise could be well fast tracked given the supposed draft strength this year.

There was talk of English which was crazy but thankfully thats not happening, he's not up to the task this year after being AA last year....
Personally I think the Eagles should try and drag DGB out of the Hawks with their pick 3 and then also I'm hearing Trent Croad wants to play a season or two in the West to improve before coming back to the Hawks to win a couple of flags...
Obviously only rumours Jacky boy...
In all seriousness, Eagles are in a predicament...
They actually should probably throw the baby out with the bath water and fuck Reid off for a heap of curremcy before he fucks off and they get fuck all...
Just my opinion....

English is a free agent so
English is a free agent so wouldn't have cost any picks. We are looking at Baker which will probably cost us an early 2nd rounder and Jack Graham who is also a free agent who won't cost us any picks.
Reid is contracted until the end of 2026 and I'd dare say his currency will be higher at the end of 2025 than this year... especially if he stops acting like a petulant flog.

Draft draft draft
English, Bolton, Baker all going to be too old by the time WC has any sort of team likely to challenge top 8. Get Graham as free agent for nothing maybe as a big body to help protect the young mids then go to the draft.
I think the long line of prospective coaches announcing their lack of interest says a lot about where the WC list is currenty at. One of the biggest fans bases in AFL, one of the most well resourced and profitable clubs and no one wants a bar of the coaching job!
On a side note Baker and Bolton would round Freo's list out nicely.

Give them a couple of years and those pressure based turnovers that took the ball away from their forward line, or those snaps that gave them a behind will go the right way and Freo will be a force. They just need to perfect their pressure based disposals.
But moving on to the now, I am looking forward to seeing former West Coast eagles champion, brownlow meadalist and grand final winning assistant coach, lead Hawthorn to the flag.

Good to hear you on the Hawks Swompa, unfortunately one of the Hawks and Dogs bows out, both are form teams in the 8.
Freo can make as many excuses up as they like, Port were missing plenty of players also, Freo were piss weak and couldn't get it done.
Its performances like that that unfortunately fuck them over with the "want to go home factor" more than what the Eagles have had to worry about in previous years...
Yep Bolton is a gun but will he be a Freo gun or will he be in cruise mode while lining his pockets with Purple cash...

Sure is a pity
Sure is a pity Dogs and Hawks facing off in an elimination final. Would back each of them to get over most other teams in the 8 atm.
Not sure the Hawks can get it done against dogs though? Midfields are pretty evenly matched and dogs have a lot of tall timber to negate in their forward line, the exact reason they are chasing Battle and Barrass is what might hurt them I think.
That said, my tipping form this year would indicate I know f**k all about footy, so who knows?

Brocko... Freo had a chance
Brocko...
Freo had a chance to beat Port/Geel at home or GWS on the rd, they win two of them they could have reshaped the 8 and finsihed top 4.
But they didn't, they couldn't even save the game against the fucking Bombers, how Darcy managed to let Draper win that hit out to Zerrett is like X files sorta shit.... Piss weak....
Port lost Farrell during the game, Houston obviously but they have also lost ( for the season - Finlayson, Pow Pep and Mckenzie )...
Tracey and Pearce are big outs for Freo but tbh I thought it was poor coaching/selection ( Sunny as sub wtf - just get rid of him he's done nothing all year ) and the young ruckman leave him out and play Jackson on the ball...
Freo have lost Cerra, Shulze, Henry to name a few in the last couple years so yes, this is partly the reason you will have a fist full of first round pics that you should be using to bring more talent in but instead I can see Freo over capitalising on Richmond recycles...
I would like to see Freo win a flag, I hope they can prove me wrong one year.....

Pickett wanting out of the
Pickett wanting out of the Dees and requesting a trade to Freo also....
Pickett and Bolton in the same fwd line could cause some serious havoc!!
I hope Freo can pull this off and have the leaders within the club to keep tracking on the right path!!
Surely with Bolton, Baker, Pickett added to the team would be contenders!!!
But we will see....
