Richmond Appealing Deledio Suspension

Featured Replies

Posted

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!

Gee, I thought it only came from downtown.

 

Bloody autocorrect!

Are you on an iPad?

Mine gets me every time I am in a hurry.

I suspect they are appealing just because there's no downgrade with an early plea, may as well


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.

I haven't seen what deledio did but I have no doubt he is guilty and the suspension is worthy of his actions.

 

Haven't read through the Viney thread but people are aware Deledio got downgraded to a reprimand and is free to play against us yeah?


The whole system is a farce. Deledio runs past and throws out an elbow to the face when the ball is dead and its not deliberate?

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.

  • 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.
