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 ?

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

    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).

    Just thought that needed another airing.

    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.

    Peter, are you familiar with an entity known as the "Match Review Panel"?

    Just re-watched the incident.

    Unless Macmillan was acting by falling to the ground in the hope of stealing a free kick, I reckon Vince just got him.

    As a result, 2 down to 1. Maybe if we're extremely lucky, a fine but it wasn't a good look.

    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.

    If you sing 'Sweet Home Alabama' on National TV, you're just asking for trouble even contemplating raising an elbow. 1 week.

    Likewise it was my opinion but i don't think anyone could forsee a likely MRP outcome .

    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?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
