So if this fails, does he get 4 weeks?

No, because of how the AFL have that points system thing in place. He was suspended the maximum amount possible for that charge.

In theory, we had nothing to lose, except the $$$ that we put up (and the $$$ that half the team lost through their Twitter remarks!).

Thank goodness for that. Thank goodness we will not just roll over and let the AFL walk all over us. I was one of the truly outraged supporters on here after the West Coast game and i was furious at the performance but i must admit the last week i have been more proud of my club than ever. First of all the players took responsibility for the unacceptable performance against West Coast and Bailey ordered our players to bring their mouthguards to training during the week to rectify our problem with tackling and pressure. We then produce an emphatic response by coming out and flogging a top 8 contender by 96 points in a brilliant performance where the pressure and 1 percenters was just out of this world and then one of our young guns gets wrongly suspended for a ferocious but fair tackle and all the players stand up for their mate and voice their disgust, the club appeals and loses and now were not going to roll over and accept it but take it further and fight for our young Jack. All of this just warms my heart and im starting to really believe that were heading in the right direction. I love it and good on ya boys, i hope justice prevails and Trenners gets off and we come out and [censored] those bloody North pricks on Saturday and do it for Russian and grimesy! Go dees!

I think we will win too

You can't just let 'the rules' override common sense when 95% of the population is saying the decision is not in keeping with the spirit of the game

Or maybe you can if you are the AFL

Depends if they think they need to 'set a precedent'.....I fear the horns on Jack's head may be morphing from demon to goat.

Very proud of the club for taking this further. We have to appeal for common sense, even if it's not very common in AFL circles.

I have a strong feeling that he'll get the charge downgraded and get given a week, just for the AFL to save face and not look like complete idiots.

Well done MFC. Whether or not he is successful I couldn't agree anymore that appealing is the right course of action.

Interesting to see and hear the great support from his team mates.

So much for the disunity between this playing group that was spewed out from all angles last week. :rolleyes:

Good luck JT.

MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The AFL wishes to advise the Melbourne Football Club has appealed the three-game suspension handed to Jack Trengove for engaging in rough conduct against the Adelaide Crows’ Patrick Dangerfield, during Sunday’s match at the MCG.

The hearing in front of the Appeals Board will be at 5.30pm tomorrow, Thursday May 12.

Melbourne appealed the three-game suspension on three grounds:

• the decision was so unreasonable that no Tribunal could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence;

• the classification of the level of the offence was manifestly excessive;

• the sanction imposed was manifestly excessive.

Ends

ok sorry have clarified its the appeals board.

Now, the board is meant to have independents....But Anderson has already coming out in defense of the MRP decision.

So basically, if the independents want a job next year they wont overturn the decision.....

Even Eddie McGuire says the suspension was over the top.

Can't remember the last time I agreed with him!

Huge night tomorrow not only for the club, but for the game. This crap simply cannot be allowed to go on

If this appeal fails, what player is going to ever tackle hard again?

This is a very important case, not just for JT but for the fundamental future of the game.

It was a reflex tackle, there was no premeditated intent involved.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
