Double jeopardy is a criminal-trial rule only. He's not on trial with the AFL, so they can do whatever they like within their own rules, whether the court system punishes Balta or not

Don't disagree but it's been adjourned once already. Whilst unlikely what if the case is delayed again?
The club & the AFL are already happy with the suspension. As said this has been well known since January despite the video showing relatively recently on mainstream channels.
It's a treacherous path react to media manipulation. Cronin is just that despite his strong message. They'll always go to the dial a quote.
Important to distinguish Noah's first contact was a shove, not a 'one' punch.
Anyway I'm happy either way.
Steven Milne and Leigh Montagna who were accused of much worse than Noah played in front of families and kids while they were under suspicion and nothing ever happened.
They can't, There's a suppression order, they face jail or a fine if they do, simple as that, no double standard whatsoever.
Where, show us the proof, it must be an official media release if they are. Provide the link.
Nek minute, NIB announced they're extending their sponsorship for the next 5 years.
Me, From a defense background, anything that you do that ends up in the courts and you end up in an even bigger world of poo poo within defense than what the courts may hand down.
But that is kotowing to the minority. This is the fearless Richmond Tigers from Punt Road of years gone by. Do the Tigers have the mettle to stand by their man ,supporters or wimp it. Soon find out will we not !!.
I would suggest that's likely more an opportune move. Guarantee if we were top of ladder and in premiership contention, they wouldn't bat an eye......
Peter Burgoyne and Micky O'Loughlin sexually assaulted a woman (nice word for raped) and they weren't chased out of town.
Poor Noah's become the Hannibal Lecter of the world. Everyone's treating him like a hardened criminal.
To those that say he should never play again - Andy Krakour’s story was considered inspiring. He did jail time for a vicious assault and played again
The Judge is at fault due to delay/procrastinating over penalty.
In the meantime, especially in today's world, the keyboard warriors and soapboxers have a forum to spit out drivel as they await said penalty.
All of this could have and should have been avoided.
I hope the Judge has all tv and media off while deciding and not open to influence.
We may never see Noah again if all these biases/outside influences reach the Judge.
Shocking Legal System.
