Would be a disgrace if he’s not cleared. How on earth can they seriously be this inconsistent with their application of sanctions? What Soldo is up for is just ridiculously soft.

From the AFL’s tribunal feed:

‘The AFL's legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, says that the reasonable action for a player to brace for contact would be to tuck his arms in, rather than raise them as Soldo did.’

Protecting yourself by putting your arms by your side? I’m tipping the QC’s not much of a pugilist.

These idiots are confused and delusional. So what’s their explanation for letting their golden child Ablett off?
Bracing oneself with arms by the side has potential for serious upper limb and rib cage injury. Is that what they want?
 
This is disgusting. They’re ruining the game and I hope this gets the media attention it deserves. Not that it’s going to make a difference but I just can’t believe it. Such a joke.
 
It was always going to happen. Can't have blokes elbowing week in week out. Make a stand by rubbing out the 10 gamer.
