I reckon Roos will have a good motivational tool to get the boys fired up these next two weeks.

I reckon social media would almost literally burn down if it got drawn out to 4 matches after appeal.

I think we will appeal tomorrow. The AFL will be torn between not wanting to buckle to public demand, and doing the right thing. I think the stubbornness of the AFL will win out and the 2 weeks will stand.

I don't think the penalty can be increased if the appeal fails - they either overturn the original decision, or uphold it. Two weeks and no carryover points - nicely graded to seem reasonable, minimise the outcry. They hope.

Just 10 years ago the AFL was advertising this type of clash as a reason to see come see the game.... what a farce it is now

Roosy is in it

If we are to protest, is Jack likely to be given a longer sentence ?

If so surely it is up to him whether he wants risk being a martyr for the club.

It's easy for us fans to demand a protest we have nothing to lose.

The club need to work out what is best for Jack before making any decision.

What worries the AFL most is the TV rights. It would be great if all supporters boycotted the TV this weekend. But it won't happen sadly.

They soon will if the game loses the toughness it was once known for.

In saying that, I don't think players will change the way they play, they will be instructed to continue attacking the footy like Viney, and in 99.99% of occasions there won't be a freak series of events that lead to a broken jaw, so there will be no case to answer.

Just really pisses me off that players consistently get one week or reprimands for the cheap little elbows that are deliberate, and then players like Viney and a few before him are rubbed out for longer for playing honest hard footy, and someone has accidentally been injured. It is bullshiit.

Looks like Jack Watts is the prototype AFL player of the future now. Plenty of skill, no aggression. Basketball style zoning, corralling that is the future for the AFL.

It's okay, I'm listening.

Jack will always be hard, but now he'll be more discriminate.

Haha. Dumbo are you a mind reader or maybe a flat mate of Jack's? If not, then you have no idea what he will do post this verdict. And neither do i.

This could change him as you say or, alternatively, it might just as well make him more demonic and just go harder but lower into the contest.

Having watched Viney play a few games and having read his tweet this evening, i'd be putting my hard earned on the latter. I don't think he'll change his approach one iota and this result will probably make him more determined than ever to hit in hard.

I can see what Dermie's riled...

I think it makes them look more incompetent. Either guilty 4 weeks or not guilty.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
