Just heard Richmond will be appealing Brett Deledio's low impact but intentional elbow to the head, one match suspension. Will have an interesting bearing on our match next week, because he's definitely one of their best players and makes a huge difference to their on field performance.

Surprised they didn't take the one match ban. It was an international elbow to the head!

Correct godees I expected they would too.

They should remove the reduction for an early guilty plea. It is a serious compromise on the system. Players mostly only contest charges where there is no way it could get worse.

So we lose Viney for the Richmond game

the Tigers will have Deledio now cos he somehow won his appeal

the AFL do not want the MFC to be successful. It has become obvious.

The midfielder, who said after the hearing he was thrilled to escape a suspension and "was just playing the game", will now be available to face the Demons after the Tigers' bye this weekend.

An off the ball intentional high contact is "just playing the game" - hilarious!

I just can't understand how you can get off with intentional contact but get done with accidental contact.

Easy, it's the AFL Tribunal's definition of JUST ICE. Ahh, now that might explain a few things!

It now seems to be only about the collateral damage. I do a Viney and accidentally break a jaw in a freak set of circumstances I get done for 2 to 3. I deliberately snipe someone with an elbow but fail to break anything I get a reprimand only? I am Josh Gibson and I line up a forward from behind and belt him across the head, but he gets up dazed but not concussed it must be an accident. Result, move on nothing to see here!

Broken bones, concussion determine guilt from now on it seems. Someone must be punished.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
