Former AFL player Hamish Brayshaw has penned an open letter to the AFL, calling out the league’s Tribunal and match review panel flaws as a “joke”.
Former AFL player Hamish Brayshaw has taken aim at the league in a blistering takedown as he called for immediate change.
“The tribunal and match review panel are single-handedly destroying the game. You are making it impossible to play in good spirit, you’re making it impossible to adjudicate and you’re not far off making it impossible to support,” Brayshaw said on theThe 26-year-old slammed the fact that more factors than ever before are coming into play when incidents are coming under scrutiny by the match review officer and the Tribunal.
“Really it all boils down to protecting the head because we’re seeing more players retire from concussion than ever before, but we will still let a guy play next week after punching someone in the face in the goal square because it wasn’t hard enough to hurt them.”Hamish said the league, despite it’s continuous remarks about protecting the head, continued to flip flop on outcome based incidents that unfolded.
“That was as big a defining moment for the tribunal as I can remember, and you went with protecting the sanctity of the game over the protection of the player. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with that, but it is breaking me that you are constantly backflipping on that stance.” “Jeremy Finlayson got less than Peter Wright for a homophobic slur which once again highlights that nobody at the AFL really knows what’s happening at the tribunal, you just make it up as you see fit.
