Richmond Appealing Deledio Suspension


SaberFang

Recommended Posts

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.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
