Hi folks,

Can anyone explain to me why the MRP didn't review the incident in the second half of the match where Jones went for the mark and once the ball was out of the vicinity the player behind came in and elbowed him in the back of the head? Not only did he not get a free kick but it was ugly from the Essendon player and I reckon deserved at least a week. It put Jones down for a little while and if he had not have been tougher might have caused more of a problem (concussion anyone?!).

I am not at home so cannot you tube the incident to show you what I mean however I will try to later in the week.

It just stinks that you can play the game fair like Trenners and get 3 weeks, but elbow a bloke well and truly late and thats a ok :rolleyes:

sick of it!

ps well done on Fri Dees!

It was a very very poor attempt at a spoil that left Jones dazed and missed the ball by 1/3 metre - I really did expect such a naked attempt to injure a player to be referred.

Take the point that it's history now but sincerely hope I live long enough and gain enough wisdom to understand the reasoning of the Almighty MRP

On a different note...

When big Mazie Gawn took his huge grab in the last quarter, (and duly sprayed it)... Fletcher smacked him on the nack of the scone for his troubles.

Pretty poor form. But not exactly a shock. And Essendon fans wonder why he's not more highly regarded.

Yeah, I saw that. It wasn't hard, but it was cheap - no surprise from Fletch. I do like watching Fletcher play, but he makes plenty of cheap shots. I bet the number of times he's tripped someone would dwarf the total of the next highest 'tripper'.

I sincerely doubt any of us could live long enough or gain enough wisdom to understand those buffoons mate, even if we lived to be 150.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
