Jetta gone for a week, Vince free to play.

Featured Replies

Fairdinkum there was nothing in it. He got an accidental smack in the chops when he was trying to rough up Jetta when he wasn't looking.

 

How many did Boyd get?

jetta, dead set unlucky. bont coming in from behind, jetta raises arms in self defence instinctively, followed by gold logie bont performance

how that could be classified as intentional is crazy. would seriously consider appealing (except for port game risk)

 

I'm in shock.

Without my MFC blinkers on, Vince should have got 2- maybe plea down, but two weeks for reckless, high contact.

Jetta... Should have got zero.

Chook lotto indeed. Jetta's incident is similar to Jackson Trengove / Joel Selwood a few weeks back. Selwood gives Trengove one to the chest behind play and Trengove retaliates with one to the face. Instigator Selwood cops a fine whilst Tengove cops 2 down to 1. 

Vince very lucky, but I'm happy because I just brought him into my dreamteam last week.

 


I agree with others that I thought Vince and Pedo would go. The Jetta one is pathetic. It is an instinctive arm thrown back to ward off someone coming at him.

To give it the same as a deliberate punch is a joke.

However, we won't want to risk two and will take it and give him a week off to freshen up.  ANB and Kent if he is fit will come in and Salem can go back.

The umps were not content to shaft us on just the Sunday.

They put in overtime.

Jetta's was a defensive, split-second reaction of putting his arm out to protect himself because he saw something approaching out of the corner of his eye.

 

Whilst rubbish decision on jetta, but they are worse off than us losing Boyd and redpath against gws.  Given its up there surely giants are favorites now - hope they smash em 

At least vince and jet will be available against port

 

 

I knew Vince would get off the first time I watched the replay! Vince knew he would get off as soon as he was reported and he told the ump as much. Vince tried to avoid forceful contact to the head. He was moving through at pace and then checked himself when he made contact to Wallis' upper shoulder so that he wouldn't crunch him on the jaw... only incidental, accidental contact that was inconsequential and the adjudicators got it right. Several Demonlanders hung Vince before the trial!


I must be the only one who thinks Jetta is actually reasonably lucky. Instinct, if it even was that, isn't a defence. As I said in the other thread, if it were a umpire coming in to calm the situation and Jetta connected with a jaw we wouldn't see Nev for the rest of the year. He knew it wasn't a umpire or a fellow Dee and swung a wild elbow in a relatively unthreatening situation when he could have defended himself in a much less careless and aggressive manner. Intentional/Low impact - 2 down to 1.

good result overall, 3 potential suspensions 1 player to miss 1 week against Brisbane at the G, Very Happy.

Would have settled for a free kick on the day.

The bloke who is really stiff here is Pedo .  He should forever be exempt from match review penalties due to that miscarriage of justice from that [censored] Merrett who never had to answer a charge after a clearly high and dangerous hit!!

FMD!!!

Hope the Dogs enjoy playing GWS without Boyd and Redpath.

Yep, one hotshot gone in a forward line full of bigheads.....

jetta classified as "Intentional" i would have thought careless. intentional would be if he lined him up. looked more like a reflex

If it was intentional he'd still be down.  Defensive reflex - his best attribute!

Speed of the dive could have made Italian soccer team jealous.

To make it worse Bittet Pedo had to have surgery on his nose over the summer as it was still giving him grief over that hit way back in 2014..

A disgracefull of the highest order.

I didn't know that dazzle but , as you implied, it just adds to a shocking decision that , in my mind, makes a joke of the MR process.

Plastic surgery. He's clearly narcissistic.

Agreed, he's lucky he didn't land the elbow properly. It was reckless and unnecessary and if a dogs player had done it to one of ours we'd  surely be calling for a suspension. Missing Jetta will hurt. Door opens up for J Grimes?

I think they need to just cop the ban.  It may not be fair, but the tribunal are notoriously political and don't like to overrule the MRP, so there would be little to gain.  Just look on it as a week of R&R after some of the huge knocks Nev has copped in the last few rounds (none of which were cited by the MRP).

So what do you think of Duryea's elbow to Ballantyne's jaw? Ballantyne went off holding his jaw. It could have been broken. 

Oh BTW, no suspension.

Just saw that too Redleg. Duryea's and Jetts incident are identical. One gets a week, the other not even a fine.

I honestly think as a team we should take the one week and move on, but gees it's bloody confusing when you see identical incidents in the same round with such different outcomes.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
