    nathan buckley got a one week suspension when he wiped his blood on cameron ling 10 years ago.

    probably 2 weeks for howe? need to see the footage

    Nathan Buckley got 1 week for the same offence a few years ago. Would be interesting but not surprising if Howe gets more. Buckley led a charmed life with the tribunal and always got off until this incident. The bio mechanics expert witnesses couldn't help him with this one. Stupid fool Jeremy, why not just wipe some snot on him?

    Buckley got a week.

    Pretty shite form by Howe, what was he thinking. Given the MRP's current form wouldn't be surprised if he went for 2-3.

    Although, I'm hoping its a week at best.

    Buckley got 1 week. Would expect that will be used at the precedent. Have to say I have no idea of the incident and haven't heard it mentioned elsewhere. Silly thing to do, if he's done it?

    Surely wiping blood on shorts (Howe, MFC) is less bad than wiping it on a jumper (Buckley, CFC - 1 week)!!!

    I haven't seen the footage, but was it from his face or his hands?? The precedent as I recall was face to jumper.

    Sounds like a stupid act though.

    FCS what a merde season we are enduring.

    Who will take a specie to lift our dwindling spirits now?

    Buckley was trying to get rid of a tag - ie get Ling off the ground. Howe sounds like he was just stoopid.

    Rubbish.

    How the hell would that get rid of a tag, when Buckley himself was being sent off with the blood rule?

    There's no distinction between the 2.

    Buckley was directed to leave for the blood rule by the umpire during a stoppage. Some harsh words were then exchanged between Buckley and Ling. Buckley wiped him as he started to walk off.

    Being sent straight to the tribunal sounds way more serious than the usual ridiculous formula they go by.

    Completely dumb thing to do. Hard to defend this one, if true.

    AFL seems to enjoy making an example of these types of uncouth actions.

  • Quote

    I think either Ling gave Buckley the blood nose or Ling dobbed Buckley in to the umps for it getting him sent off.

    Either way Buckleys thinking was "If I'm going off, your coming with me."

    Howe was about 12 and living in a sleepy tassie town when Buckley did this.

    bloody hell.. what a bloody idiot!

    Stupid thing to do, and also a disgusting thing to do. Deserves whatever gets thrown at him really.

    2012 continues to provide new ways for the MFC to dissapoint.

    It sounds as if you are in furious agreement

    I wouldn't read too much into that, it's a clear situation where the MRP doesn't have a formula to work with so rather than just trying to make something up they've sent it to the tribunal to be argued.

    Haven't seen any of the game, and obviously the incident, but jeez what a dumb thing to do. I imagine he'll get some time off and cop an absolute spray from Neeld because it's these kinds of undisaplined acts that hurt the team. Especially when our forward line is so depleted, and our team devoid of people that can take a mark.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
