Tribunal/MRO from 2023 - Choose Your Own Adventure continues

So does the suspension double or triple now that Butters and his club are also calling foot a liar, further questioning his integrity

The AFL are claiming they are backing their man (pardon the pun) given he’s a man of high integrity.

Now I’m sure they also said the same about Pannell and the other bloke who leaked the Brownlow votes. That hasn’t love me to be accurate one little bit. Also given the way its own integrity unit negotiates deals on any sensitive matters I’m now 100% certain the AFL doesn’t know the meaning of integrity.

This is all the afls fault for refusing to ever hold these maggots to account. The arrogance is astounding. They are literally a ■■■■ stain on the game

Has flog garry lyon gone on about foot being unfit to be an afl umpire?

Zak must be the most honest bloke in the AFL.

How very convenient for the maggot.

How much did they pay the sound technicians to arrange that very helpful glitch?

You are wrong about that.

If they “literally” were, that could be easily fixed.

How these guys didn’t just get in a room after the game and say

“I thought you said this and that’s ■■■■”

“Nah didn’t say that. I said this. You must have miss heard it. I’d never say that”

“You sure”

“Yeah”

“Ok you cheeky bugger”

The fact they have both backed themselves into corner is so so stupid.

So instead of just paying a 50 for the comment, he reported him?

How weak and soft can you be!

One wonders why the umpire who works for a betting agency would be so upset by a comment that he imagined he heard.

Methinks the maggot doth protest too much.

Zack Butters is about to find out that the AFL care much much more about being right, than the do about a players welfare or reputation .

Wow. This is ■■■■■■■ pathetic. Seems perfectly fitting based on the umpiring I saw.

So why didn’t the mic pick it up when it picks up everything else?

He is getting paid by sportsbet tho, so the alleged question has a definite answer

9 week suspension for Collard.

Saints can try to appeal this if they wish.

Considering Collard signed a stat dec saying he said maggot, they’d probably want to.

Rumour is that the ump turned it off at that moment due to the language going on around him.
No idea if they can or can’t do that though.
But seems convenient that it came back on right after the incident.
Foot had been coping it on socials due to his agreement with a betting agency.
If Butters didn’t say it then maybe he “heard” it because it was on his own mind and Butters became his fall guy.

Butters found guilty

Literally do not know how you can even make a ruling in a situation like this.

Without audio how can they determine one way or the other. It’s just stupid.
