Why wasn't Dawesy up for review after a forearm that broke a blokes ribs after he got rid of the ball?

Deledio got done then got off for an elbow that caused no injury.

We all know about Viney.

What was different about Dawes' hit?

Consistently inconsistent, I'll give 'em that.

    The deliberate, wilful and premeditated bodyslam was worse.

    I thought the same thing myself.

    QUIET YOU FOOL! They might read this, the MRP has ears everywhere...

    I keep reading this, but it really wasn't. Georgiou lifted his legs into a weird curled position after the tackle was done for no real reason.

    Nothing in it.

    Besides, it's Georgiou, you can't hurt him, and he probably slammed Jenkins into himself.

    Georgiou was putting all his weight on Jenkins to get him to the ground. No need for Jenkins to pick him up and slam him.

    A deliberate and some what dangerous incident that deserved a look at even if the ruling was insufficient force for suspension.

    Georgiou getting subbed off may have been related to this unnecessary slam he took.

    As for Dawes he was pushing with a forearm in to the side to get a guy out of bounds. That's a legtimate football play not a suspension

    He drove him into the ground - he could easily have just untangled himself.

    I don't agree. Georgiou was hanging on to Jenkins trying to bring him down. Jenkins then appears to pick Georgiou's legs up and push him down into the ground.

    Compare what Jenkins did with what Viney did - which would you prefer to see eradicated from the game?

    Neither. The 'slam' was harmless and rarely happens.

    A few of you are missing the point anyway.

    Point is Dawes contacted someone late with his forearm and broke their ribs.

    Viney wouldn't have been up for anything had Lynch not broken his jaw.

    Yet one is completely ignored.

    Of course I'm happy with what Dawes did and even happier that nothing came of it, the whole system is a joke.

    Georgiou should be cited for failure in duty of care when tackling Lynch. The same bul**** reason they gave for the Trengove sling tackle.

    Sylvia had his jaw broken - not even looked at....

    When it comes to the MRP Melbourne gets treated like carp EVERY FRIGGING TIME......

    It's all to do with definitions. The MRP and the Tribunal have become very legalistic in their approach.

    Hence, "sacrosanct - adj. regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with".

    Rookies clearly don't meet that definition.

    When we become a better side, it will improve.

    Just like the umpiring in our games.

    Everyone likes to beat up on the weak kid.

    If Viney was a Collingwood player, he wouldn't even of been up at the tribunal.

    Jenkins was desperately trying to shake him loose, to prevent being almost instantly asphyxiated.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
