See ya Slater

[Sphagnum]

Anyone checked on Ryles?

I thought he'd get off for sure but Geoff Bellew just nailed his coffin.

Was it forceful? Obviously.

Did he use both arms and hands? Obviously not.

By those parameters his only hope is that they completely ignore Bellew and go on sentiment.

7.35pm: Bellew has recalled everyone, and is telling the panel members that the emotion around Slater and the fact it's a grand final on the line needs to be completely irrelevant in their determination

If they ignore that plain and clear directive from Bellew and vote based on sentiment, then we may as well all just give up and start following AFL

Shaquem Griffin Drafted by Seattle this year he has part of his arm. Probably enough to brush Feki if required.

I knew who he was talking about, he doesn’t have one arm though.........

Bellew’s instructions should see Billy goneskis.
Interesting to see either way.

If billy gets suspended i will eat beave's hat

 

[lazza]

Still waiting

 

[moffla]

reckon he is done. Sad times to miss a grand final for a bump. Oh well - rules are rules

It’s a big hat mate.

I know there's a lot of emotion around this hearing, but let's not say anything we might regret later.

You got me.. I should have specified one hand as he does have half an arm..

So would this player be in breach of the rule as quoted earlier?

Hands ( plural) was mentioned..

 

[Frederick]

This is going on too long. They're gonna get him off on a technicality

 

[t-ba]

Longetr this takes the better for him imo.

 

[Hutty1986]

It’s a big hat mate.

I immediately regret my decision.

 

[Exsilium]

Dennis Denuto would have been a better representative than this Ghabar fella

 

[gunpk]

what are they discussing for so long? under the current rules he is guilty

 

[Exsilium]

Longetr this takes the better for him imo.

Or they’re like “f**k him, let him sweat, guys a merkin, who wants to go to karaoke later and drink absinthe? Aye aye, come on, it’ll be fun....yeah...you’re in....my man *hi-five*”

 

[Tommy Smith]

I suspect they're trying to find a technicality but it's an open and shut case based on Bellew's directives. And the panellists know it too.

 

[Lebbo73]

How they can get him off while coming across as being objective!

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

If he gets off then no one will ever get suspended for a shoulder charge. f**k slater let him sit it out for the good of the game.

 

[gunpk]

I've wasted over 2 hours waiting to see what happens to this merkin
