Sanity prevails. The correct decision to be made.

[CENTURION]

NAH, BULLSHIT, BURN HIM, HE'S A WITCH, THIS IS WRONG, HE'S A MURDERER!!

spot on CK, it was merely a football collision, it was an unfortunate injury sustained, however he (callinan) hit him (phillips) fairly in my book (mind you if it was an afl game he'd get 6-8 weeks )

I havent entered this debate before, for what it is worth, what an absolute joke and a disgrace, why was he reported ??????? it all boils down to some disgruntled Redleg supporters pushing the issue and trying to justify the Grand Final loss, so i suggest these supporters stick to watching AFL the pretty, pathetic, soft, boring other football.So enough sour grapes get over it, end of story and let's all look forward to next year in the SANFL.

Surely supporters (and the minority at that) arent the reason for someone being cited?? As far as Im aware everyone in official position at the club didnt have a problem with it and nor did the Norwood player concerned

[Apachebulldog]

Agree constance i did say some supporters however, why was he reported ??? also

1. Video reviews of games are usually on the Monday or Tuesday Monday being a public holidty then Tuesday.
2. When was the video review ???
3. When was he charged ???
3. Why did it take so long for the tribunal to hear it ??
4. Was there outside pressure ???

This does not sit right with me.

Why has it taken so long, bearing in mind the Grand Final was played on the 3 rd of October 9 days ago.

[dedja]

Jeez, you won the flag and he got off ... the problem is?

[Apachebulldog]

No problem at all, but who instigated the report and why did it take so long can anyone tell me ??? plus reading the other GF thread calling Callinan a sniper is far from the truth

[MatteeG]

Correct decision. Sensational bump.

[Brucetiki]

The report was a complete and utter joke and thankfully common sense has prevailed.

[HeartBeatsTrue]

ALL Norwood supporters have moved on from this.
Seems you haven't.

I dare say Centrals deferred the hearing due to the premiership celebrations, so maybe ring the club if your that concerned.

Unlike Centrals squealing like stuck pigs for Macca to be cited after the 1997 Preliminary Final and causing a gross abuse of the then process Norwood had nothing to do with this.

It's yet another excuse for some Centrals supporters to parade their well worn persecution complexes. Get over yourselves.

Yeah, understand your point about Norwood having nothing to do with it but the difference between the 2 scenarios is that Macca did 'king hit' Dew behind the play while the Callinan 'bump' was 'just a part of the game' as Phillips himself said...

Central may have 'squealed' to ensure that justice prevailed appropriately for which it did as in the Callinan situation as well...

That's a fair question I reckon .. I had assumed/guessed it must have been a SANFL citation after watching the video, but I really don't know.

I guess it's rather pointless now anyway, the right decision was made which is the important part.
