Having watched it for second time on slow mo.. He definitely missed so I reckon it's worth a reprimand or a fine. Although I think he may have carry over points from an incident last year.. Anyone recall that ?

I thought one week was fair until i watched the video again. Does anyone else think that if you got elbowed in the jaw your head would move sideways? Seems the North player has some incedible neck mus

He deserves a suspension (and as a senior leader a brief internal chat). Raised an elbow out of frustration - and at a crucial time when we needed cool heads. Tribunal should be weighing these incidents on intent over outcome so we don't have to suffer the circus that was Viney last year. It's the same as our stupid drink-driving laws. Someone over the limit done by a breatho cops a fine and maybe suspension. Someone over the limit gets in a crash and heads to prison. It's a matter of luck. If Bernie had been more co-ordinated and connected square he'd be looking at four or five. (That is, unless he intended to miss).

If he gets done it'll be just the final bitter tinge to a day of almighty fuckery at the hands of the officiators.

I don't think he made contact, and if he did it's just a clip and you can't suspend a bloke for nearly doing something wrong. 

BUT i think he should be fined either way and his team mates should let him know about it.

Historically we are the only club ever to have had a player suspended for missing. 

Ron Barassi got four weeks for 'missing' Roger Dean  (v Richmond) end of '63 season, as a result he missed the entire '63 finals series, a flag that got away.

Contact or no contact, the act of raising the elbow in such close proximity should get any player a week's holiday.

Would "any player" include Nat Fyfe, Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell or Boomer Harvey??

Admire your faith in the integrity of the MRP.

Nothing in it but the tribunal is corrupt/incompetent as shown by their Essendon verdict and what they've done to Viney and Trengove in the past

Even though you're right in what you say , saying it will probably make it more weeks. These schits'sos are just so sensitive to criticism.....

Tell that to Pedersen who had his nose smashed by Merritt after taking a mark and saw no penalty.

That was my personal opinion...I know the MRP doesn't work like that.

No it shouldn't. In an age where the AFL wrongly bases a players penalty on the severity of injury the opposition recieves. No contact equals no suspension.

See above...it was my opinion, not a comment on a likely outcome or the workings of the MRP.

I sat through the entire 2014 tribunal season as a AV tech (I played the videos and made the phone calls)

I think he'll be given a week and be able to take an early plea down to a fine.. It was wreck less and intentional, but mcmillian wasn't hurt.. Could be defended as a brain fade.. And I would imagine Vince has a fairly clean record?

Wouldn't bother. Deserves the 1 week.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
