Trengove suspended for 2 ... now 3 weeks

Twitter is going ballistic. Good to see, the media will give the AFL a fair bake for this.

Actually it's quite a revealing bonding exercise.....

 

There are no football Gods.....there is just Vlad.

Wonder if James McDonald will be popping into the club this week?

Means nothing if we don't appeal and take this further.

The bottom line is we need Trengove and he should be playing, and we need to do whatever we can to make that happen.

Of course we can't let this interrupt our short preparation this week, but this is not a footy department matter, it's a matter for Connolly, Schwab etc to deal with now.

I would like us to appeal.

But the club may err on the side of 'frack it.'

As a footy fan, I would like them to appeal as I would love to get some clarification.

 

its going to be as hard to find than a priest that has never molested a boy.

or a virgin in Frankston

And he just thinks he's God......

They might go with "frack it" but it can't get any worse so maybe......

....be careful what you wish for Vlad.


Anyone else get the vibe that after the Dean Bailey stuff and now this all the Dees supporters are actually getting genuinely angry?

Very tempted to watch as many games as possible this weekend, put together a compilation of the same tackles that do NOT cause a concussion and send it to Footy Classified or something.

Egzackery. If players continue to tackle as normal, there better be at least 3 reports per game this weekend, and about 20 players suspended for a total of 60 weeks. I'll happily support you with the necessary slab, the editing software and the blank DVDs to help further the crusade. Stupid t*rds.

Absolutely, and it seems to be having quite a bonding effect.

It's important we don't go back into our 'Passive Shell'.

Wtf are you on about ?

The part I found most interesting was this:

Mark Macgugan: David Jones (tribunal chairman) instructing panel on factors to consider when deliberating. Reminds them to focus on the conduct, not the consequence to the tackled player.

If this is the case, all the evidence from the Adelaide doctor was irrelevant and should not have been heard.

The game cannot tolerate such thugish acts. The match review panel made a hard but correct stand #afl

The match review panel had to make a stand. Parents need to have confidence that the right message is being sent to their children #afl

Hope she is not referring to Jack Trengove..

EDIT: Caroline Wilson did not make these comments. - Rogue

Zing.

A 'thugish act'? You've got to be kidding.

EDIT: You've been duped by a satirical Twitter account. Next time provide a link - you could have saved me 45 seconds.

  • 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.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
