I'd contest it. Show them up for their lack of consistency. 

It's a joke

    I agree. I reckon they would at least downgrade it

    From what I understand, several "key" people at the MFC are disillusioned by the grading of "intentional" considering the circumstances. Not sure if they'll challenge it, but they'll make their thoughts known, methinks.

    Wasn't there someone recently who got a blatant hit that was originally graded "intentional" downgraded to "careless" because of the implication that they weren't the sort of player who would hit anyone intentionally and that it was an unfair smear on their character? Nev would have as much grounds as anybody in the AFL for that kind of challenge.

    Or is that only valid if you're a Seventh Day Adventist or similar??

    Hadn't seen the duryea incident until just then. That really is a joke the two incidents are almost identical. They both deserve the same penalty or lack thereof.

    Jetta has accepted.

    Proves the clubs have no faith in getting a fair hearing IMO.

    Mahoney pretty much said that too when talking about looking at similar past reports.

    or maybe given it's only the lions, took advantage of a week for neville to freshen up and come back stronger for the port game

  • Quote

    It looked bad. Let's just call it a draw with Vince escaping and only playing Lions.

    Well there you go, Jetta's week was the result of a demarcation issue.

    The problem is that you are not allowed to cite other cases/penalties as a precedent when I firmly believe that is exactly what should be quoted to get consistency.

    Obviously the AFL have no faith in our legal system if they rule out considering precedents.   Of course allowing precedents would make it harder to adjust decisions on the fly to ensure high-profile players didn't miss finals etc.

    i'm quite sure precedents are taken into account by the members of the mrp (and tribunal) when they discuss among themselves a particular case.

    as far as the mrp goes the accused is not allowed to cite anything (precedents or otherwise), in fact he or his representative aren't even present

    the only chance you get to put up a defence or discussion is if you challenge it and it then goes to the tribunal, but then you have to risk, generally, an extra week, being the "bribe" you could have accepted for keeping your mouth shut and being a good little boy

    Precisely DC.  The person who is cited should at least be given a chance to respond to the charge.  Simple procedural fairness.  To impose a sanction, based on some questionable formula is a bad principle to begin with.  At least give the person an initial right of reply.  After all, we are talking about their livelihoods here.

    They are given a chance to respond to the charge. By conceding guilt or challenging the verdict. It's the same principle that operates in the adversarial criminal justice system whereby an accused pleading guilty receives a discount on sentencing. To me, it's utter shite - someone is culpable or not. But whereas the criminal justice system probably operates this way on some archaic Abrahamic notion of confession/repentance, the $$$ AFL's MRP does it avoid extra scrutiny/save cash.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
