Hodge straight to tribunal

Lewis 3 weeks but can plead guilty and reduce to 2.

Dunn investigated for contact to Walters - dismissed

Garland investigated for contact to pavlich - dismissed

Head contact for Garland was absolutely accidental. Can't believe it was investigated

Happy we won't see Hodge or Lewis - not that it makes any difference..................

    Is Pav's nose being investigated for it's hit on Garland?

    Complete joke Garland was even looked at, only reason why is because it was Pav.

    Sad thing is even without Hodge and Lewis we will still get pumped by the Hawks.

    They will also be without Lake and Frawley which improves the odds and if we play for 120 min we can take it up to them.

    It was investigated because a player was subbed out of the game as a result of the incident.

    May offered 2 weeks as well - deservedly so in my opinion. Elected to bump and caught Rockliff in the head, can't believe people were actually calling it fair. Rockliff was subbed out straight away and went to hospital.

    I was listening to the radio but it sounded like on the commentary that if anything it was Pavlich raising his arm into Garland. Haven't seen it but sounds very strange.

    On Hodge and Lewis. I think 2 is fair for Lewis, reckless and stupid rather than malicious IMO. Hodge I'm kind surprised they didn't give him the same, 3 down to 2. I don't know that he meant to do exactly what he did, there was more intention but I don't know that it was much worse than Lewis. Maybe 3 given that it was out of play and instigated a pretty big melee.

    Glad we won't have to deal with these guys but there are plenty more to be concerned with. They are racking up a fair list of outs though.

    he'd have an uphill battle trying to prove it wasn't intentional

    he even said he lost it and had a brain fade

    ...

    Is that a rule? If so I wonder if it is being uniformly applied. (See what cynicism the AFL has engendered...)

    Just read that Salem's concussion was a result of collision with a Freo player - did the Tribunal look at that?

    Garland should use his nose more often...

    One was an act of thuggery during play.

    One was an act of thuggery during a stop in play.

    Unfortunately Lou, we may be without Dawes, Jetta, Viney, Frost and the Garland concussion may come into effect. Sorry to dampen the parade. :(

  • Quote

    So the Hakws will likely be without Lake, Frawley, Lewis and Hodge when we play them

    If we get Viney back for that game we may be in with a show... so long as Sydney don't shatter our confidence this Saturday

    1 week at a time.,.

    Salem was flattened by a late hit to the back of the head by a guy twice his size after he marked the ball. No report, just 50m.

    I feel a little more confident against Hawthorn than I did against Freo that we can cause an upset. God, beating Hawthorn would absolutely make my season.

    no 50, just 35.

    That is because the umpire gifted them marks for ten metre kicks instead of fifteen. He has no concept of 'fifteen' hence the discrepancy.

    Rubbish. They were both going for the ball and May tried to bump Rockliff during the chase. Absolutely standard conduct. Just unlucky he caught Rockliff in the head.

    Two weeks for this while Lewis gets the same for an act of thuggery is crazy. Lewis should be getting three weeks if May takes two.

  • Quote

    The mrp has been significantly better this year. So many rubbish inconsistent calls last year.

    Brisbane should appeal and get May off. I didn't see much wrong with his bump, the fact a player us injured does dictate the punishment for me

    I still don't like this 3 down to 2 early plea BS. If it's a two offence, it's 2 weeks. That's it. Call it like it is

    If Garland got investigated then what about the late elbow to the back of the head for Salem? That was far closer to a reportable offence than Garland!

    Couldn't agree more although I am happy we at least got a 50m penalty - that was some benefit to us. A tribunal decision doesn't help us at all.

    The problem is you have ex players or people who used to be involved in clubs on the MRP- they should be neutral supporters, like the umpires are, otherwise the whole process is open to corruption, like we are seeing. Just another little aspect that makes this competition a joke really

  • Quote

    Steven May getting anything, let alone 3 [censored] weeks for playing good football is ridiculous.

    He should've got off just like Viney did last year.

    Will they ever get this [censored] right?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
