Default AFL Tribunal. What A Joke.

How can a player be charged for striking a player and also attempted to strike in the same offense?
It's like being charged for murder and attempted murder when a bullet misses the victim in between being shot.

I don't know why he would bother challenging the charge when it's obvious he was trying to crack Salter. Video is fairly damning.

I agree the tribunal system is a joke, infact the umpiring in general is a joke and the sad thing is it's starting to filter down to country footy. Last two games I have played in our umpires made the the afl's look awesome!

Because with two separate swings of the arm, one hit may make contact, while another may miss...

The tribunal is inconsistent. What else is new?

Just heard Rioli didn't get off the charge for attempting to strike, out for 2 weeks. Suspended for attempting to strike? Hmm...

What a joke but couldn't they have given him more so he doesn't play round 22??

Trent Cotchin - 4 Weeks.
Hille gets 0 weeks x 3.

That's what a joke the MRP are.
