Redleg nailed it in one.

Perfect opportunity to fight a charge with justification.

    Just watched it again on AFL site.

    Terlich gets up and Sexton is on the ground. He rolls over to all fours and extends his arms and arches his back. Looks OK at that point and the incident which was not shown is over.

    He then goes to get up and the camera pans away.

    Later is seen leaving the ground with two trainers and shoulder injured.

    It appears he has hurt his shoulder when he got up and no one is near him. If that is the case, Clisby must get off as he hasn't caused the severe impact, whatever it is.

    On the other hand if my summary is innacurate, so is my conclusion.

    Interesting that a kick to the face which breaks a nose is less than body contact, as described by the MRP, which allegedly injures a shoulder.

    Unless there is other video evidence that is damning, I would be fighting it.

    Note the wording on the AFL site - 'Mitch Clisby, Melbourne, has been charged after an investigation by the AFL Match Review Panel with a level four engaging in rough conduct Offence. All the other charges just say they've been charged without this 'investigation'.

    They undertook an 'investigation', presumably going beyond the TV footage, to see what happened.

    CHAMP, I don't see how that adds up based on today.

    The MRP have looked at the GCS Doc's medical report and concluded that the dislocation was due to the force of the tackle.

    From the taping it would be reasonable to presume on the other hand that the shoulder was ready to pop.

    The tackle itself did not appear to me to be excessively or unusually rough or violent.

    It's not clear from the AFL site what extra penalty Clisby risks by not accepting the 3 weeks. May be an ideal time to stand up to the inconsistent bunch at the MRP.

    Sexton's shoulder popping out was not related to Clisby's tackle.

    It was a result of him pushing himself up off the ground.

    I want the club to fight it.

    But why a further investigation beyond the normal MRP?

    Goldcoast must have complained to instigate that.

    Those bastards.

    5 seconds ish is that the injury taking place? If so i'm a little amused at how any penalty can be handed down with other players dragging clisby holding onto the gold coast player?

    Looking forward to see if Melbourne challenge!

    GO DEES

    There is another film clip which I saw on the AFL site which shows Sexton on all fours and apparently OK after the incident had finished.

    He then arches his back and extends his arms and then the camera pans away. He then presumably stood up. The next vision shows him being helped off the ground. I don' think there is any vision of Clisby causing this injury. If so challenge and win.

    Sexton had a bad shoulder which was already taped and may have popped it standing up.

    AFL game analyser showed the wrestle and Mitch should feel unbelievably disappointed if MFC don't challenge and get off.

    The kid's shoulders just popped. Should feel filthy he got cited.

    I remember watching the game and seeing Sexton going off the ground and trying to work out where it happened. If anything it happened during the wrestle which is completely accidental and not Clisby's fault.

    Fight it MFC.

    If this club wants its players to stand up for the club, the club should stand up for its players.

    Challenge this Melbourne.

    Trengove's sling on Dangerfield.

    Didn't work out so well...

    Worked brilliantly for Cyril. Also bent Griffen's arm back as shown on 360 tonight.

    Protected species.

    Its not the MFC to challenge anything including the football or scoreboard.

    Brown lucky with 3 weeks with his poor record and the fact that impact with a boot, which broke a player's nose, was found to be medium. I wonder what high is, death.

    Agreed, Redleg. It was probably only luck that meant the injury wasn't worse (eg broken jaw, concussion, etc). So much for the head being sacrosanct!

  • Quote

    Clisbys was severe, and Brown's was only medium???

  • Quote

    The fact that Brown's was a deliberate, unprovoked attack, whilst Clisby's was in the midst of a scuffle has not been taken in to account. What a disgrace.

  • Quote

    The MRP is and always has been a star chamber, looking after their favourites and, like Brown, kicking the underdog in the face.

    Apparently only Trengove can do a sling tackle, take three weeks for it but since then its been dead. It may look the same but when someone like Cyril does it, it is something that is benign.

    Just saw Riolis tackle, talk about protected species. And yet again the MRP has looked only at the injury result and not the action, Riolis had the potential to hurt his oppositions head as with what happened to Trenners on Dangermouse, Clisbys there is no effing video evidence, in fact we see the injured player remonstrating on the ground perfectly fine and then the camera cuts later cuts to Sexton holding his shoulder.

    What a joke.

    And on another note, how did the FC seriously see Browns kick as accidental?

    Whoops sorry unless it is Clisby in a tackle, in a melee of six or so other players and someone's shoulder pops out. Someone's been injured so there must be a culprit. Not much video but it must be the closest, identifiable Demon. Clisby your done!

    First Spencer gets 3 for literally turning his body to protect himself from an oncoming player (and we don't challenge), then Clisby gets 3 weeks for a freak accident? Time for the club to stop accepting this BS in the way a club who isn't accepting AFL support would. Joke.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
