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?

One was an act of thuggery during play.

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

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.

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

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?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
