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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
