Peter Gordon is king of the ambulance chasers. The AFL should simply ask Gordon. "Are you paying this women the same per game as Easton Wood". He will answe no and say you say well who is discriminating then.

Personally I thought the penalty was harsh but not on the basis of her sex. The silly Grundy and Dangerfield decisions are going to bite the AFL on the bum. My hope is the next player rubbed out for this is a player the AFL love. Martin, NicNat or Buddy.

It clearly wasn't sexual discrimination and the tribunal adjudicated as such.

AFLW players get paid a fraction of what the AFL players get, so they get reprimands for misconduct instead of fines.

Their season is 1/3 as long as the AFL one, so they get 2 misdemeanours before suspension whereas the AFL players get 3.

Stupid attempt, got what it deserved.

IF they take it to a higher court she will be stuffed mentally before she runs out if they win. I remember the Ant Rocca saga too well.

WTF!! how is it sexual discrimination?? she was reported for an illegal tackle and suspended. How was her tackle any different from grundy's or dangerfield's?

Furthermore, what's with the afl's response? ole gilly boy and gordo couldn't have jumped on the PC bandwagon quick enough if they tried. Nothing but a bunch of gutless castrated phonies. The afl are pathetic.

Human rights court?? Seriously?? F*** off amateurs!!

The AFL gives them an over inflated game and calls it elite, gives them a profile, money, exposure, crikey we have female players commentating on the mens game now (how that is even possible?). This garbage is rammed down our throats and the reality is id rather watch local footy any day as a better spectacle. Other established women elite sports have suffered as AFLW takes players away. AFLW has been given everything possible and now the feminist, sexism movements have trundled in on their horses and are now accusing the AFL of being sexist. What a f***ing joke and another reason why I won't give this crap the time of day.

The argument is that their male counterparts will only receive a fine, not a suspension, for doing the same thing.

The HRC will have to determine whether their is an inequity based on sex.

If you’re referring to 2003, there wasn’t any real saga. One of my then partners and I spoke to [on reflection, I’d better not actually say who] and offered to take Ant’s case on for free but the Club took the view it would be an unnecessary distraction, so there was no real interest in creating any extra drama around the Club leading up to the Granny. Personally, I remain of the view that a viable CHF after a saga wasn’t such a bad option. Still, Tristen and Jason acquitted themselves well.

But the argument is flawed from the start. In both it would have been treated as a misdemeanour which in AFL attracts a fine and in AFLW attracts a reprimand.

She got suspended because it was her second misdemeanour in the season, not because the tackle warranted a suspension in it's own right. The AFL men get 3 not 2 because their season is 22 rounds, not 7.

So the whole premise of the argument is flawed
