Judiciary Charges 2019

[SpaceMonkey]

Luke’s tackle was fine IMO. Looked worse than it was. Not as bad as Jake T’s in terms of outcome

Yeah it was just a good tackle that went a fraction past the horizontal. Can’t see how it was grade 2.

 

[AJB1102]

Haven't seen it because I'd rather stab myself in the eye than watch Melbourne wrestle or Manly win

You dudded yourself out of a cracking game of footy.

Annesley should ditch the meaningless stats and do this instead. It would mean much more to the game's supporters and provide transparency. Unfortunately, as the season's gone on Annesley is more and more trying to avoid criticism/damage to the refereeing "brand" and becoming more and more inconsistent in doing so.

Annesley made a complete dick of himself in the briefing today; desperately trying to argue that the match review committee look into minutae that the general fan doesn't see and cannot understand.
20 minutes of "I wasn't there, I can't tell you why they were graded differently".

Not sure he completely understands exactly how pissed off the fans are with the inconsistency.

 

[forby]

Consistency is overrated!
Spreads like a virus!

 

[BadnMean]

You dudded yourself out of a cracking game of footy.

There's plenty of good games to come. For reasons explained, I'll watch Melbourne if & when they play my team & Manly if I have the chance to barrack for others.

Prejudices are important- they help you winnow out crap you don't have time to pay attention to.

Luke guilty but disputing grading, faces judiciary tomorrow night.

Pangai (1 match) and Trbojevic (0) early guilty pleas. Others TBC

This was Annesley's defence of the MRC today:

Annesley defended the panel's independence from League Central, which adjudicates each year on who makes up the MRC.

Former Eels and Bears five-eighth Michael Buettner acts as the committee's chairman with ex-players Stuart Raper, Michael Robertson and Michael Hodgson currently serving and up for review at the end of the season.

"It's an independent process and that's what it needs to be," Annesley said.

"We've got to have some degree of credibility around the process, it can't be at the whim of me, (CEO) Todd Greenberg or anybody else.

"… We've got former players who have played the game at the top level making those decision.

"Everyone is entitled to disagree with that, everyone is entitled to disagree with the decisions the referees make every week.

"But what are we going to do, referee the game based on video rather than have people on the field?"

[skeepe]

Good on Whitehead for fighting it. What a ridiculous incident to attract a charge.

 

[League Unlimited News]

 

[Warriorsoul]

Hard to say whether I'm more pissed off by this as I am so spectacularly unsurprised. :/

 

[TheFrog]

Luke should fight the charge. There's no way he should be facing 2-3 weeks while Jake T gets off.

The tackle looked identical to the one he did on Maloney in the finals last year. He got away with that.

[TheFrog]

Little nudge to the melon. Hardly worth a bluey but I bet they'll be watching him carefully in coming games.

 

[skeepe]

Finally some common sense.

 

[bileduct]

Little nudge to the melon. Hardly worth a bluey but I bet they'll be watching him carefully in coming games.

Wasn't even his head, it was his shoulder.

 

[Saxon]

And Jack T walks.

Farcical.

 

[moffla]

And Jack T walks.

Farcical.

It’s a joke, isn’t it?

Accident? Of course. Good bloke? I’m sure he is.

But he still dropped someone on their neck.
