What a [censored]. Considering that the ump who heard it deemed it worthy of pursuit, then it must have been bad enough to attract a suspension. Hopefully one day we can rid our game of these morons.

Do you know what he said do you?? I don't, but simply said that if an ump heard it and deemed it worthy of taking further, then it probably does warrant suspension. Sorry if I offended you.

Are you two serious?

A few 'mum jokes' hardly warrants a suspension.

You don't know what was said. Remember what happened with Des Headland when Selwood called his six year old daughter a sl*t and told him that he f*ed her. Headland took him to the ground... most people in the public would do the same thing. I'm sure it was 'just a joke'....

Petterd played well so he must've just taken it in his stride, but will be interesting to see if anything comes out about this. The AFL is just as hot on female vilification as they are on racial vilification, especially after the Lovett trial (innocent or not).

A bit dis-appointing Petterds pointed out MgGinnity to the umpire IMO.

I had 1st thought the umpire had overheard it, but the vision shows Ricky making a big deal out of it.

AFL suspended him for one week

Actually, it was the CLUB, and not the AFL that suspended him! Well done to the Weagles for acting swiftly and decisively.

This is embarrassing. That a player can be suspended for this kind of thing is hilarious. That a club enforces this on their own player is even funnier.

I'm a bit annoyed Petterd tried to make something of it; and his [censored] dad comes out having a go at the Eagles player!

I think before criticising Petterd or his dad, it would be sensible to know exactly what was said by McGinnity.

Not that I'm suggesting that any posters making those criticisms are sensible...

It was obviously offensive enough for the umpire to take it upon himself to make the report.

mum jokes are funnier on drugs too id imagine

To be honest, at first thought I thought it was a joke, but unless we know the real circumstances, the jury's out for mine.

For example, I have no idea what Petterd's Mum is like (ie. Is she healthy? Still alive? etc). It may be nothing but an old fashioned "I've got photos" type of situation, which shouldn't be taken any further, but if there is a bit more to it, then I can appreciate where RP was coming from.

Happened in local footy years ago where I grew up - a guys was playing seniors, and an opponent commented about how wonderful it was that his parents were murdered at Port Arthur. That's what I mean about not knowing what was said and not knowing all the circumstances.

Also depends on what the players have had drilled in to them during their education events organised by the AFL/AFLPA.

stop teasing.... ill tell... umm ahhhhhh. what a joke

So you know the full story do you? How about waiting until the circumstances are out there. I get the feeling there is much more to this as it would be extremely unlikely that a player would get fired up like Ricky did over something as tame as a "mother" joke.

I recall in the NRL here in Sydney years ago, Mario Fenech, then playing for South Sydney Rabbitohs, suddenly burst out of a scrum and started hammering Balmain's Benny Elias (I think it was)... turns out that Benny had bee niggling with "hey Mario, zzzzzt, zzzzzt". Pretty harmless you would think, except for one minor fact - Mario had lost his brother through electrocution.

The problem is they can't say what was said. So other players have no idea under the rules what you can and can't say. SO how do they know where the line was.

on the radio here in Perth, it was reported by Petterd to the umpire? The ruling they talked about is very broad so almost anything can be included under it.

It was categorised as derogatory to Women; so dont use offensive language regarding Women.

Same as being categorised as Racially offensive; so dont use offensive language regarding race.

Pretty clear

and doesnt embarrass Ricky's mum anymore than she already has been.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
