Give me a spell! What do they expect when they have to travel down Punt Rd every day?

    Yes, it let every other player get there on time but stopped Sam at every intersection.

    I like it.

    The Club statement said he missed the meeting after arriving late....Could have been a short meeting or he was very late?

    North Melbourne should take note on how to handle a minor sanction! Imagine they did this for Majak Daw simple press release not hiding anything would of saved the grief he went through

    Ned - More like: Sanctioned for completely missing a compulsory team preparation meeting.

    Message received for Blease, I'd imagine.

    I thought we were all still angry about 186?

    I want full committment from these 'never-do-wells' and I don't care who you are.

    I want improvement from every one and higher standards for all.

    Until I see some actual Demons running around and playing with heart it's schadenfreude for me everytime a MFC player is punished or whipped on the track.

    Disappointed in Sam; we all know that there are very few times in life when being late is truly beyond the individual's control.

    Rudi Guillaini cleaned up New York with ZERO TOLERANCE. He was berated by the bleeding hearts for his tough stand but the results are there for all to see.

    Is Mark Neeld our Rudi?

    ZERO TOLERANCE, guys - get used to it.

    Pity - I was looking forward to seeing Sam in his new forward role, but I expect he is a lot more disappointed than any of us here. Let it hurt, then learn from it.

    Just as long as they don't car-pool 20 odd players in a Toyota Coaster and rock up late I'm happy with this.

    Has nobody ever been late to work due to factors beyond their control? From the information we have been given, he was simply late to a morning meeting. This happens, hardly a fineable offence

    I have heard it mentioned that 'His preparation was improvised' meaning it was probably his most important meeting of the week. Understandable to miss the game for this reason, but not a fine.

    Does that not prove maybe it wasn't just a few minutes late...

    Regardless if you had a very important meeting you should be planning to be their 15 minutes early and remove chances like this.

    Think Sam may have been substantially late if you look at game and fine so I think it's a perfect punishment for the crime

    I doubt very much that if circumstances were beyond his control that they would have sanctioned him.

    No problems whatsoever with a minor slap on the wrist (lets be honest, nobody is going to play every round of the NAB Cup anyway). It sends a strong message.

    I'd get a slap on the wrist/warning if I was late for a meeting, especially if I didn't notify anybody, which is what we can assume happened.

    Neeld is an [censored]. I love it!

    Accidents happen. Im always early to work but this morning found out that my girlfriend had unpluged my phone charger to use her hair dryer. as such my phone battery died and my alarm didnt go off. I very late. [censored] happens. im annoyed that we dont get to see him this week. ill be spewinh if it happens in the main.season

  • Quote

    Its the multiple factor.

    Go easy because one player made a mistake ?

    Do you go easy when two players are late ? How about 4 players being late ? Its not about where you stop - its about where you start and you start with one player.

    Zero tolerance is 100% correct.

  • Quote

    Zero Tolerance is the only way to go. Of course a phone call can be taken into account.

    But all players requested to be at a meeting must be there.

    Sort it out during the NAB Cup.

    Could be a 'once meeting starts, doors are locked' type scenario.

    That's no accident Utah.

    While i make no comment on zero tolerance, there is a very interesting story in Freakonomics about this very subject and how it wasn't Guillaini's policies that made the difference. It was a seeminly unrelated event that had occured years earlier and the crime rate drop result was an unintended consequence

    Carry on

    Looks like it was the match committee that handed out the sanctions -

    (

    "The match committee made the decision to stand Blease down for this weekend’s game, as well as handing down a financial sanction," the Demons coach told the Demons website)

    -

    not the leadership group.

    IMO, the way it should be.

    • 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.
