Nathan Brown should have been stiff.

And by that I mean he should have been given a week for accidental contact.

You instigate, you don't mean harm, you harm, you are unlucky, you sit out.

Nathan Brown's clumsiness should have been punished.

Agree. I wonder if Col had writhed on the ground for a few moments and then appeared physically distressed for several minutes on the bench had they taken a different stance. The fact that he got stright up and remonstrated physically with Brown probably did the big filth defender a big favour.

No doubt in my mind that if Fasolo hadn't been winded by Tappy and simply suffered a contusion he'd be playing next week against the GWS

This is relevant in the Buddy sling tackle too. Essentially what the AFL have said by not sanctioning him is you are allowed to sling tackle so long as you are lucky enough that your opponents head does not make contact with the ground and/or they suffer any type of injury.

I can see where you are coming from as the head clash was accidental. The problem is that the AFL rules say, that a player who has a choice to do something other than what he did, which ends up in a head injury even though that part is accidental, is guilty of an offence. Brown didn't have to run at a bloke looking the other way and block him, he could have pushed him for example in the side. He chose to do a body block and then the accidental head clash makes him guilty of an offence. It is the AFL rule not mine. That is just the way it is, except of course when the player hit is Sylvia.

Question: if that had happened to Dale Thomas would it be the same result.

It is really up to the AFL to work out their own rules. My problem is the inconsistent way they apply them.

I tend to think that if Sylvia was knocked out from this incident, Brown would have done time.

The MRP always seem to weigh their decision heavily on the outcome in these types of instances.

Oh, a broken nose doesn't count as a poor outcome?

In my opinion yes.

Seemingly not for the MRP.

Imagine if the boot was on the other foot

Eddie would be throwing the biggest tantie this year.

It's strange.

I'd have thought the injury would've meant that Brown was in trouble.

This was highlighted when Buddy got off for his sling tackle.

I nearly chocked on my Wizz Fizz when I saw the MRP come out and say that he was "lucky" to get off. What? Surely you're done or you're not. That he was saved by a lack of injury is odd - they went some way to clarify by saying that he didn't use full force and only grabbed one hand. One No. 9 for the Dees only grabbed one hand, and the force was added to by the Adelaide-playing-next-week-best-on-ground-despite-suffering-near-death-injury.

So when you look at sylvia's injuries I wonder why he bothers considering the slagging he gets here

Except when Sylvia has his jaw broken well off the play!!! Edited by monoccular

Sylvia should start a personal injury claim agaist the AFL for failing to protect his person and his livelihood.

He would win.

[censored] joke. Can't afford to have the Buddy's or Swan's out of the game, but if you wear a Melbourne jumper you're deemed expendable. Blatant hit. Leigh Matthews-y.

You're allowed to stomp on hands now. That's new.

The MRP are a joke. There are clear discrepancies in justice based on profile. When Sylvia retires he should go down there and bust some [censored] up. Throw some chairs around and [censored]. Payback.

Yeah, that will show them for having a perceived bias against him for being a thug...

I disagree, Buddy just has to breathe on someone the wrong way and he gets done.

I was surprised he actually escaped penalty for the sling tackle

Buddy's been suspeneded before for regulation bumps

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
