The Lions defence will consist of Country Road playing loudly on repeat for 30 minutes over a PowerPoint presentation with scrolling photos of Charlie being good bloke.
Case dismissed.

Looked like Duggan was trying to pull the ball away from Cameron, lost his balance and they both hit the deck.
No case to answer.

Cameron, Bedford and Alex Davies all given 3 weeks. I’m guessing Brisbane (and maybe the others) will appeal. Rosas one week.
Rosas’s offence was much worse than the others’. Just looked like a snipe…a non-football act.

Agree with that totally.
Doesn’t surprise me at all given the climate these days but yeah it’s hard to sort of compute that something like those two tackles can result in a three week spell. But I’ve given up getting too worked up about it. The lottery does what it does and everyone moves on.

This is exactly what happened to me. Duggan was trying to get out of the tackle
Really not sure what cameron is supposed to do there. Let him go?

I don’t understand the Cameron suspension at all.

Player gets tackled, head hits ground, player gets concussed…that’s about it these days in terms of what warrants suspension.
I try not to be an alarmist but we’re heading for a game of touch football the way things are going.

I don’t understand how Bedford’s is worth 3 weeks after what Danger did to Walsh and subsequently got off on appeal. The initial MRO sanction was 1 week and the impact looked far more serious.

I agree with you and he will (has) go for a few weeks!!
Players don’t get concussed everytime there is a tackle.

If you hadn’t done so, I wouldn’t have known

3 weeks each for those tackles…seems very harsh. They classified the impact as severe

They let DField off, they are now hard lining to re-assert their position on dangerous tackles. Cameron had his chance, the one ordinary players and high profie EFC players don’t get, and it’s comparatively quiet times on all of it.

Dealing with the big issues first.
“Adrian Anderson says he can hear an echo because he has mistakenly opened two versions of this meeting. He will now address this issue during the Tribunal rather than before it.”
The Lions will argue Cameron was not guilty of rough conduct because his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances.
Charlie Cameron will now give evidence.
Cameron: What we get taught at footy training is trying to get in tight to the ball carrier and try and wrap your arms around him.
Cameron: I’m just trying to hold the tackle up and just trying to control the tackle.
Cameron: I’ve lost my footing due to him fighting the tackle … that caused the imbalance for me to leave my feet.
Cameron: He rotates his body and twists, so he’s dragging me down when we get our feet tangled and I lost my balance.
Cameron: You can see him dropping his knees and rotating … I’ve got no control, I’ve only got control of him. He’s dragging me to the ground. I felt like he has created the backward momentum.
