Heath- Suspended for the rest of the year (including finals if they make it)

Dak- Suspended for the rest of the year (including finals if they make it)

Reece Shaw- has been suspended for 2 weeks for drinking while injured.

Heath and Dak have been finded only $5000.00 by the club.

Still pretty weak I think.

This whole saga is GOLD! While we are not squeaky clean @ MFC, I'm going to be dining out on this for a while. Seems ironic though. Normally you get fans trying to emulate their heroes. Now we've got filth players emulating their fans. :lol:

Am happy because they are from Collingwood.

Am outraged because I have them both in my dream team!

Its more than I thought they would get. The pies need these guys desparately if they want to make the finals. I figured they would come up with some soft punishment and a bigger fine.

Hopefully the message will finally get through to a few more AFL players who do stupid things.

I have no time at all for drink drivers, I would of sacked Heath Shaw and left Didaks punishment as just a fine (But I am a lot harsher than most)

I find the Rhys Shaw suspension confusing

You can be an accomplice to a drive by shooting ..... and not get suspended

You can drive a car, have an accident with almost 3 times the legal BAC .... and not get suspended

But having a drink when your injured? Suspension 2 games

There is absolutely no doubt Collingwood have handled this poorly. Heath Shaw should've been suspended for at least 3 matches for the drink-driving offence yesterday, by not taking any serious action they have been made to look like fools. All of a sudden when they find out Heath Shaw and Didak lie to the club they suspend them for the rest of the year, this is more about them trying to save face then actual punishment.

Suspending Rhys Shaw for 2 matches for heavy drinking is confusing due to what happened with the other two, but would surely have been the action taken by any competant club, and until now they haven't been all the competant!

The sweetest thing about this is that Mick Malthouse, in all his wisdom, set this precedant last year by taking suspensions more-or-less off the table for punishments. It's really come back to bite them now!

To whoever implied the Rhyce Shaw suspension was unwarranted, I'm sure it wasn't just a drink.

Still pretty weak I think.

I think it's a reasonable outcome. It'll be interesting to see what decision's made on their future.

If I were a CFC fan, I'd be hoping we move on Didak.

Typically weak by Colingwood.

If it was Melbourne I'd want both players to be sacked. Drink driving is one thing, lying is another, embarrassing your president, coach, captain and teamates and destroying your club's reputation is another again. Both should have been sacked.

I'm sure it wasn't either. But even if it was heavy drinking, it still highlights how lenient the previous punishments have been at the club in comparison.

Who knows, if they had been harsher in the past, maybe Shaw and Didak would have thought twice about being so stupid

I see a certain dash about shielding your mate in if you have already been lumbered.

I dont understand why the penalties are now overly harsh, except for the fact that the hierarchy have made fools of themselves by lack of research and have over-reacted.

Didak should have shot through or hid under the roses.

He was more than averagely stupid to hang around the scene.

I wouldnt be surprised if everyone collectively gets over their egos and reduces the bans to two or three weeks.

In fairness tho, I don't think Heath was trying to copy his supporters. Afterall, the vehicle that he was driving wasn't stolen and there was no mugging reported nearby.

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
