    I think it should have gone straight to the tribunial; no discounts.

    That was my thought as well, there are incidents that are deemed too much for MRP and can't have discounts attached to it. That should've applied here and it should've been minimum 4 weeks. The bloke has a fractured jaw and will be out for four weeks.

    With the Frawley incident, the footage on the AFL website is the first i've seen it again, and apart from it looking worse than what I thought at the game I've got to give credit to Riewoldt for staying with and clearly being concerned about Chip.

    I certainly think double discounting (as in this case) should be discretionary

    He should have only got one of the discounts

    It wasn't:

    Wellingham: 5 weeks, reduced to 4 because he has played long enough for a clean slate, reduced to 3 with early plee.

    Trengove: 3 weeks, hasn't played long enough to earn a clean slate, challenged finding, no reduction

    Having said that, should have gone strait to tribunal; dog act was deliberate.

    Ed.: bold highlight

    Get over it people. Some of you have played Footy would know about intent and split second decision making in football so I'll give yas all a lesson "Fence style" from my experience!

    Commitment to contest? Wellingham was committed and he would have been dragged if less committed!

    Launch into air? Yeah well maybe only aspect which was unfortunate! Well we sanitise the game so much these days and Footy today is nowhere near like it was in the seventies or Eighties.The old fashioned shirt front was a thing to behold!

    Busted Jaw? Yeah well unfortunate and by Wellinghams admission not the desired outcome, but footy is a tough game!! I copped the same injury in similar circumstances when I played and cracked one or two myself in heat of battle.Unfortunate but part of a tough sport.. Or at least it used to be!!

    Real Question would we be spewing as much if Wellingham was one of our own??

    Yeah I thought so

    I would gladly have Wellingham at the Dees and in this instance in heat of battle things do happen! I am prepared to give Wellingham the benefit of the doubt this time.

    I really love watching Rod Grinter and Byron Pickett' running around in the Red and Blue. What I would give for a reincarnated version of these two today! Might just give us a touch of intimidation, something we sure do lack, eh?

    If the penalty is over a month, you should get no dispensation for good behaviour.

    Gees I used to love blokes like Byron Pickett and Rod Grinter running around for us

    Didn't you?

    Wish we had em back !! Now like the sound of that!!

    Ok I'll bite. Split second my arse! The guy ran 40m to a marking contest and still didn't get his hands anywhere near the pill.

    Instead this gutless wonder tucked his arm in and launched into the air breaking a truly brave ball player going back with the flight.

    Tough sport? Well it still is. Just wonder if Kade Simpson was your son would you still have the same opinion on that being just part of the game.

    I've played footy too. I'm sure many on here have. Have been on the receiving end of plenty and done a few things I'm not proud of but I still know that Wellingham's act was against all tough football is about.

    Be interested to see if he has what it takes to go back with the flight next time against Carlton.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
