Do the crime, do the time. Regardless of whether the rules are stupid or not, he [censored] up and deserved a week. Useless as usual, the whole system is a farce.

he should never have been charged for that hit. the interpretation is just Soft. If he had of used the shoulder to Selwoods head whilst off the ground, then I'd say charge him but a body hit with an accidental head clash is the same as Jack Viney's MRP challenge.

IMO the right result has come down now.

i agree with you d-l

but it's not the same as jv incident. jv didn't attempt to bump he just braced himself for the inescapable contact. quite different, but he did have to prove that

Insufficient force and Selwoods testemony and medical records saying that he goes off with the blood rule so often and has so much scare tissue on his eyebrow that would cause it to bleed for way longer then a normal person. Well that's the jist of it anyway

Selwood's a regular Norman Gunston.

Selwood standing the mark !

deebatable, IMO jack was in two minds as to what to do & the ball deviated at the last minute. same sort of accidental head contact, except jacks hit was harder.

dunno...cpl of preseasons he might prove a keeper !!! :rolleyes:

So the head high impact in an off the ball, feet off ground that split Selwood's scalp was minimal impact - no suspension, yet Dawes' two gentle brushes with the arm, failing to draw blood, were medium ??????

The incompetence, inconsistency, and / or corruption of the MRP is just legendary.

What I will say is Selwood is a classy bloke. Sure, that both their coaches are brothers no doubt left him with no alternative but testify, but where was the testimony from what's his face during the Viney case? Didn't even release a statement.

Yeah, I know his jaw was broken and all... but accidents happen.

.... and so was The Tribunal before the MRP... the vfl/afl didn't want certain players to miss games, & the power clubs always won out over the weaker clubs; this is part of whats lead to the financial & fixturing inequities of today.

the AFL bending over to the power clubs instead of them forcing equality.

Nat Fyfe got 2 weeks.

Said to a mate on Sunday morning that AFL will get him off. North will use the well known Selwood weak eyebrow defence.

Well what do you know, rules on the run...

Another example of Evans making Anderson look good.

or take a more conspiracy approach and the whole scenario was setup to keep maximum publicity on the afl for the finals

I thoroughly dislike the little bugger, but I didn't feel the force justified him getting suspended despite the blood.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
