Our performance on Saturday night was so anaemic that I'm just wondering where the blood came from?

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?

now how many weeks did the current Collingwood coach get when he did this ? ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
