Would have to get two weeks, possibly reduced to one if he takes an early plea.

The fact the Jones lip needed attention won't help his cause.

You'd think after the Campbell Brown incident, and the furore that it happened behind play, they'd have to take a dim view of assaults 'off the ball' (which Thomas' was).

must be suspended. the ball had left the immediate vacinity which in my eyes makes it behind play, intentional, high contact and Jones had to go off with a bloody lip which means it had to be of some force and that evidence won't help daisy's case

no pressure MRP but your creditbility( what is left of it) is on the line

2 weeks reduced to 1 surely.

Anyone else think there is irony in the fact Thomas smacks Jones in the face

he has to go off and Malthouse doesn't apologise for his team cheating.

Or what about the Krakouer goal which he claimed off a St Kilda mark

nice little can of worms Mick has opened.

MRP is answerable to the AFL. Pies are the jewel in their Vic crown and the heavy weight (ie., biggest money earner/spinner). IMO the AFL would more than likely want the best possible outcome for their heavy weight favourites both Vic and interstate. Provided of course the incident isn't too controversial or likely to be questioned to the point of being embarrassing.

At worst.... he gets off with a fine/reprimand. Preferred outcome would be no sighting at all. That way the MRP avoids the scrutiny/controversy if he gets off with fine/reprimand and Daisy is still in the Brownlow running.

Demons and other lessor Vic clubs (in the eyes of the AFL.... this is only my opinion/gut feel...i hope i'm wrong on this) are fair game and likely to be scape goated in such incidents in order to demonstrate that they're upholding the goodwill and spirit of the game (eg., Trengove incident... 3 week fiasco).

The MRP has no qualms about monstering Melbourne with decisions like the one involving Trengove but I doubt they have the cohunas to take on Collingwood.

Here's how they'll view it - the MRP considered the clash and determined there was insufficient force used to warrant taking the matter further i.e. these days you can take a punch at an opponent but don't tackle.

I watched most of the game but did not see this incident, is their any footage going around?

Tackled Clint Jones who got the handball off to another Saint and the play moved on. Jones was on hands and knees, getting up, with Thomas on top of him. Thomas basically punched in the jaw from behind then.

They'll call it "accidental" and no case to answer.

If Trenners gets 3 weeks for accidental concussion arising from a tackle during play, how can Daisy get anything less than 3 for a DELIBERATE AND FORCEFUL contact to the head with his fist, off the ball, resulting in a head wound?

Surely its two weeks (early plea brings it down to one). Which means no Swan or Thomas which surely helps our chances of a win. Saying that their depth is very good plus Pendelbury is a very good player.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
