AFL: Fox Footy's David Zita explains on Midweek Tackle why the AFL Appeals Board made the surprising call to throw out Charlie Cameron's dangerous tackle ban.
Cameron was first to have his suspension overturned due to an “error of law” under the 18.7.1 in Laws of Australia n Football, which states: “Players shall be protected from unreasonable conduct from an opposition player which is likely to cause injury.”
“No matter whether you believe he’s guilty or otherwise, we wanted the case to stand for itself — not legal mumbo jumbo. Fellow Herald Sun journalist Glenn Macfarlane belies that uncertainty will extend to the playing cohort some 24 hours out from Round 19.“Forget about the average punter, what about the player that’s got to go out there — we are 25 hours away from players going out there and competing again for this next round of matches,” he said.
