Mitchell Grade 1

[Lydon]

No brainer we had to fight it considering he misses a week either way,good chance he gets off in my opinion.

[gragra]

I agree..if i was his QC, if get it overturned. ..

[gragra]

The defence opens showing latrell being carried off after after the crusher tackle , latrella words of his own fears and Nathan Cleary not being charged. The next vision is of Dugans head clear Of Latrells body before latrell applies Downward pressure on Dugans body. There is a clear movement backward and away from Dugans head to create space for dugans head to not contact latrells body. The crusher tackle involves a movement forward and over the head of the tackled player none of which occurred in this tackle. It is clear was mindful of creating the space for Dugans head and the tackle was neither a crusher nor careless nor reckless.

Imagine at the judiciary if we were allowed to show footage of all the times that Dugan has feigned injury in his career. The hearing would last for a week as a result.

I remember one time he feigned being unconscious - and got Mini sent off.

[Darkone]

He will get off,

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to observe the way Dugan contributed with his initial body position on contact

[Darkone]

This should be deemed accidental

[eddie]

Its worlds apart from Chambers tackle.

My concern is that pretty much all of the media have called this a definite suspension and the panel will be under too much pressure to see otherwise.

[zac]

I don't know the letter of the law but I'm hoping we're going to the judiciary because we can win, not just because it doesn't cost Latrell anything. Hoping we mount a smarter case than we did for Ricko when he was charged before the 04 GF, which included arguments like Ricko wanted to play in Freddy's last game and the team had made a pact to stand up for each other on the field.


We're not playing for peanuts here - we need seriously good counsel.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Were those really the Ricko arguments? That's a classic.

I really hope you are right. But I really think you are wrong.

To the best of my recollection ...

[Lydon]

From memory the last time one of our players challenged and got off in a Prelim was Brett Finch back in 2003 or 2004.

I remember mid week listening to the radio waiting for the verdict hoping he wouldn’t get off so Wingy would play at 7..

Unfortunately he was free to play and we ended up losing the game..

Im sure Hawkeye will remember whiplash wang from MASH
