To properly work out the level of impact and your intent, negligent or otherwise, would require you to approach this in the same way as the MRP ... ie with a set of dice.

yes, but the MRP seems to use loaded dice.

Absolute joke, and sadly my paranoia predicted it'd be us that cops it first. 

We've finally got some tackling brutes, and can't use them. 

I'm so [censored] off about this rule.

Great tackle by Oliver, the Port player turned which caused the spin. The port player had his hands free so could brace himself.

It will be interesting to see if such a rigid stance remains all year or just the start of the year as often happens with the AFL. Umps come in and over officiate and after a few rounds the rules are sometimes enforced and other times ignored, so players no longer know what rules they are playing under.

Regardless of whether the tackle and fine are [censored] or not, the players and clubs have to modify their tackling techniques

The insurance claims will see to that...

You cannot even kick a footy in a park these days in case you hit someone

I miss the 70's...

SWYL, do you remember - I reckon Crackers Keenan was reported in his first game for Melbourne and got two weeks?

Arm wasn't pinned and no head into ground, therefore I think the fine was unfair. It looked worse than what it was.

Whereas elbow lifted into Tyson's face from what I could see...

Does accepting the penalty imply/ admit guilt? FMD - what exactly is the rule??

What is this year's version of carry over points etc?  In other words does this totally improper fine give him "a record"?

Why wasn't Pound fined for his hair ? That was more an afront on the game than Clarry simply playing it !

i hope he appeals - f'em - assuming he hasn't accepted it - we need better clarity

I agree that we the supporters need better clarity - (so I am lead to believe) each year the umpiring fraternity give vision to the clubs around rules, showing plays and what is and isn't acceptable.

I think there should be complete transparency and let supporters see the vision so we can also understand what is and isn't acceptable.

Like the bump ( which is all but dead) - any slinging type tackle - whether hands are free or not will be a thing of the past.

    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
