The AFL has now set a precedent that they should live to regret

They have explicitly laid out what the minimum penalty should be if a action takes place on the field that results in a Injury to a player of an opposing team that involves contact of any sort to the head area.

There can be no exception to this rule now, and it will be up to all Melbourne Supporters to remind the AFL of this every time a Incident of this sort arises

Should any penalty that is handed down in future vary from the penalty applied to Jack I would believe there would be grounds to seek redress at a later date against the AFL should this be the case. However I am not sure of this, but one would think this would certainly be a reasonable expectation.

I for one will be watching all incidents of this type in the future and reminding the AFL of this penalty as I hope all Melbourne supporters will

    Are we talking about the same AFL that makes things up as it goes along? They can't even pronounce precedent let alone spell it.

    George Orwell was so right.....The AFL make up the 10 commandments as they go along, so we shall see what happens.

    I adored AFL as a kid. Lived and breathed it. That was then, this is now.

    As an adult I find it loses its shine every year due to [censored] like the Trengove Incident.

    It is grown men playing a contact sport! I fear by the time my kids are my age they will be watching a choreographed performance that resembles some form of ball game.

    The AFL needs to admit they were over the top, apologize to Trenners and the MFC (and the football public) and be careful with how tackles are viewed at the tribunal in the future. If the Trengove Incident becomes precedent, then I urge all of you to find another sport to follow as your past time, because the AFL will lose one of its most important and unique characteristics which is its fast paced tackling and pursuit of the ball carrier.

    Swallow that bitter pill AFL, if you don't the long term pain will hurt as viewers will turn away from this over sanitized version of a once wonderful game.

    Did I say they didn't? Never mentioned anything about todays kids. My concern is that that game is changing to the point where I hardly recognize it.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
