This is coming from the bloke who doesn't know the difference between a tackle and a shepherd/bump, or what "off the ball" means. And Teflon, from the footage, how could you determine that it was shoulder on jaw?

Bully for you Mo. My you're a self proclaimed wiz. I said if the contact was between shoulder and jaw. By the same reference how do you know it was a clash of heads??? :wacko:

GOTO correctly states what the law is, and also makes the following observations:

"If he had not broken his opponents jaw, it is unlikely he would have been charged ( no evidence of contact )"

Its great that GOTO can accurately state the law without big noting himself. You fail on both counts.

"This is a case of the law being an ass. "

Then you would be the expert there Mo. No argument from me on that . :lol:

Is it possible now for Brent Moloney to lodge an appeal against his suspension in 2005 for not making contact with Jimmy Bartel's head?

Yes that and other similar incidents.

    WJ I still think this is the worst decision ever made by the tribunal and am still [censored] off we didn't fight it.

    For those that don't remember WJ is correct, Moloney was suspended for negligent play, in that while failing to make contact with Bartel's head or any other part of his body, he was still guilty of an offence as Bartel in avoiding him hurt himself while falling over.

    If I could relay a worse decision of the tribunal I would but this pathetic ruling was nothing short of a disgrace.

    How does the eagles broken jaw fit in with that scenario in the Maxwell acquittal?

    You don't know what else was going on behind the scenes. Beama could've had a niggle, making the suspension welcome so he could get to 100%.

    But I agree, it seemed a very strange decision by the club to not appeal

    Like your friend Rhino, you don't understand the game.

    If Maxwell had laid a TACKLE and there was an accidental head clash, it is not a reportable offence. But because he laid a shepherd/bump, regardless of whether the contact to the head was accidental or not, it is deemed reckless.

    So in the eyes of the law, there is a huge difference between a tackle and a shepherd/bump.

    Sorry i didnt mean to confuse but Tackle was the wrong word to use for maxwells actions

    At the end of the day Maxwell got off

    IMO the AFL has NOW got a problem with this rule

    Do you at least acknowledge that ?

    The Bottom Line in all this Fiasco is that Right Now Adrian Anderson looks like a complete Idiot. This will be fascinating to see what happens next week.

    Stay Tunes.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
