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.

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.

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.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
