Just wondering what people are expecting. Cheers.

The AFL are so desperate to nail this issue that they'll do absolutely everything within their power to make sure he's made an example of. It would do the same for any player in this situation, it's just unfortunate that it's JT. If we really want to get him off, I reckon we'll have to go outside the jurisdiction of the AFL.

does the penalty get worse if he appeals a second time... and fails?

No, as stated elsewhere, he already received the maximum for the charge.

The each way bet would be to see an admission that the severity of the penalty was excessive and reduction of one, possibly 2 weeks if our stars are aligned.

Won't be two weeks because that was what he originally could have settled for

so it will be

not guilty or

reprimand or

1 week or

no change

Probably shafted but I'm damn impressed the club and players are not taking it lying down.

I am amazed the MFC have taken this further...and i am very happy about it. Because the AFL want this charge to stick...so does KB.!!!

Negligence & Head High Contact are the 2 points the AFL will continually bring up...

Now if we appeal this decision we must attack it from a different angle otherwise it is a waste of everybody's time.

Maybe Gallbaly has informed the MFC that he can crack this case....I am intrigued.

If we win this case, and Trengove plays on Saturday-The AFL are going to look very stupid.

I hope he gets off, but i will be satisfied with a 1 week penalty.

3 weeks is a disgrace.

I won't be. He is innocent. Full Stop. For Gods sake WYL stop [censored] footing about.

An innocent verdict will actually be good for the AFL because they can then redraft this rule so that it is more sensible and understandable and enforceable

Sam Mitchell in Sun says that all AFL players are behind Jack and hope he gets off. Says it was a perfect tackle.

We should get him or a member from the players assoc to be a witness.

unfortunately Jack won't benefit from the public backlash and commonsense as the appeal will be based on the interpretation of the rules. The rules themesleves will probably be addressed though at seasons end, good for the game, not for Jack.

You may be right, but we are dealing with the AFL. I am a realist, not pussyfooting around at all.

The words negligent and head high contact will be continually used, which is exactly what the AFL wish to stamp out.

I would love JT to get off, but downgrade is i fear our best option.

If JT plays on saturday i will buy you a few beers rpfc..happily.

My apologies DC!! Similiar intelligence to rp, take it as a compliment.

Can it be proved accidental??? I suppose that is why you pay top $$$ for a beak.

I cannot answer that now, and will be intruiged with what Gallbaly presents as his evidence.

    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
