If Clisby gets more weeks than C. Brown then...

Luckily I updated the thread before I posted how weak we are for not challenging.

Good move by the club. Win or lose the challenge it shows loyalty to our players and fight to the supporters.

    Shattered with the Clisby result - so typical (that had to be his best game)

    I watched the MRP this week and was a bit suprised at how weak our game is becoming - the Clisby incident was not mentioned

    I thought that Dustin Fletcher getting 3 weeks was a joke - the guys like 3 meters tall and was running at full pace. If I was in charge of the rules and the opposition player was not injured I would maybe give a few points or 1 week max.

    Campbell Brown can go dig a hole and die (there is accidental then deliberate and I think that's when the MRP should come in)

    dustin got 2 because it was late and to the head when he should have been tackling.

    You need to go on Twitter and tell Campbell Brown that this morning, haven't got the technical ability to paste it here, was in a conversation with Mark Ricciuto of all people

    MR "surely you are going to contest that charge mate, just saw it, they are joking"

    CB "I'm contesting it mate, can't believe it"

    I tweeted........"you are kidding Brownie, there was a second action, involuntary or not, u r not a cleanskin"

    I wish Clisby dislocated Browns shoulder then I would have happily accepted 3 weeks just for the satisfaction of watching him hobble off the ground

    SEN report that Clisby has 'back-flipped' on his contesting and shall take the 3 weeks.

    Anyway, I'm staggered and shocked

    Utterly bizarre. The footage clearly shows Clisby being dragged away by several GC players and Sexton holding on to him with both hands. If anything, that is the motion that damages his shoulder as his arms extend above his head. It's an entirely self-inflicted injury. We should be fighting this on general principle. Especially since it will make no difference if we fail. Three weeks or four, he's still out for the rest of the year.

    These sorts of outcomes always make me wonder what the club knows that I don't, because not challenging this seems preposterous at face value.

    Funny you mention that..

    I actually thought it may have something to do with the fact that the only way Clisby could get off is if Sexton testified to say it wasn't his fault...

    I could be way overreacting to the whole scenario but I sense that Gold Coast may have made it clear that they won't help us out because we didn't help with Campbell Brown's...

    Just seems weird that both teams were challenging their respective charges and suddenly we have to turn ours down.

    MFC Twitter yesterday also retweeted the charge against Brown on Strauss which is normally uncommon so I had a feeling MFC were keen for him to get weeks for his dog act.

    I just dont think this club has the stomach for confrontation.. Its the 'rollover' Demons.

    With one H&A round left, correct me if that's wrong, he'd be a chance to play in the Grand Final, is that the argument?

    Smells more of perennialy-soft underbelly to me.

    Losing the case, at worst, would cost him one more VFL final. Winning gets him 2 more VFL finals and 2 more AFL games.

    Obviously I don't know what has gone on behind closed doors, but this seems on the face of it, weak.

    PS. I have just realized if he gets 4, he is out for whole VFL finals as we don't play again until next season.

    He has copped this charge one week too late, as only 3 AFL games left for us.

    Think I would have still rolled the dice and made them prove he caused the injury.

    I'm not impressed that we've rolled over for this but I guess he can play some VFL finals and get to play in a successful team. I really hope Brown doesn't get off, I will be filthy if the tribunal rolls on him.

    Eff the VFL. Very sad that the club places this above its values and getting a bloke off the hook.

    More to it for sure.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
