Tribunal / suspensions 2024

[Sedat]

Has Darcy Moore blamed heteronormative learned patriarch behaviours for being concussed on Friday night yet?

[Grantysghost]

The only way the bump is appropriate is if Moore kicks it off the ground. Given that would have been a 99% chance of being an insufficient intent free, he was never kicking it off the ground. He was always going to either bend down to pick it up (don't bump in the head!!) or drop down to pick it up (don't bump him in the head!!).

The bump was not an appropriate choice. He chose to bump, collected his opponent high and concussed him. They have no grounds to challenge.

I would say their argument would be it wasn't unreasonable to bump in the circumstance (shoulder to shoulder you can even do that in the world game to move your opponent off the ball) and it was not possible for Pickett to know Moore would inexplicably lose his feet in the contest.

I still think he will go under current rules, I'm guessing thats what they'll say.

Be interesting.

Demons are challenging. They had to it's such a strange decision.

GG, just go support Melbourne already. You did not even back Lachie McNeil this much!

Excellent. Common sense prevails.

Very happy for Liam.

Surprising but very happy with that result!

Ha - no i just love these type of technical interpretations and arguing the case.

Pickett is a sniper, he wasn't doing that here IMO.

Also : Go dees.

[NoseBleed]

It's Offical.

Yes this time he just accidentally fired a loaded gun

Might start calling him Alec Baldwin.

Owies suspended for a dangerous tackle - hahahaha

[The Adelaide Connection]

ICYMI- Pickett's ban was upheld, so he misses the first three games of 2025.

The Owies hearing is STILL going. Pickett's case took 3 hours all up, so this one got off late- but they have been deliberating for an age.

By the way, it is worth starting a Twitter account just to follow David Zita's blow by blow commentary as he follows the tribunal cases. Very funny.

Edit: 12:07am Melbourne time- Matt Owies suspension upheld and he will miss the Blues Elimination final.

Rampe gets off with a fine
