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.

swan was playing last night....he will be playing queens birthday

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
