I'd challenge it. AFL has a systemic problem when love taps like that cops week and Rance gets the same for a blatant fist to the head. If that player didn't roll around like a [censored] it wouldn't have been brought up. I thought he hit Membrey. Report says Wright, is it a different incident ?

Challenge it. 

The old 2 down to 1 strategy is just a security blanket for the people making the decision. It forces the player to suck it up even though the decision is unreasonable.

Idiot. Has a track record of this behaviour. I hope Goody tears him a new one. Just dumb.

Yep. Vince is playing like the coach is his mate at the moment. Needs a lesson sent. Better hope it doesn't cost his team mates.

Agreed. Varcoe was far more dangerous. He came in at top speed

Forget about challenging it, how about pulling up the bloke that has a issue of doing it time after time.

Pull your head in Bernie!

Players get sucked in by his antics and more often than not, it really does seem to throw them off their game.

This time he crossed the line. Didn't look like there was much in it, but sure... Cop the week, it is what it is.

Bernie needs to understand that there's a power of the badge vindictiveness that operates in this space ie he has trodden a very fine line on a number of occasions and quite possibly been given the benefit of the doubt.  The expectation is that he learns from it and curbs his tendencies.   Absent that, you have to expect this sort of outcome.  Because they can.

Just been released - 2 weeks for striking (intentional), low impact. Down to 1 week with an early plea

Casboult got a fine for rough conduct (careless), low impact.

Not sure how these muppets operate

Agree that it's stupid, and agree that he needs to be taught a lesson (and what better a week than when we have carlton???). But Geez the MRP has no idea, if they were consistent i wouldn't have a problem, but if consistency was tattooed on their foreheads they still wouldn't have any idea.

This concept of harmcaused being applicable to the punishment is stuffed.

Bernie gave the bloke a low impact bicep to the head. Potential for damage from bicep = [censored] all.

Varcoe runs through a guys jaw with his shoulder and gets the same. Varcoe could have knocked that guy into next week ffs

Will go for 2 but for an early plea will get one. He never seems to learn unfortunately, as he has done this before! 

Cmon Bernie!! 

Got it in one PF. People need to take their red and blue glasses off. If it happened to a Melbourne player, it would be described as a dog act. It was forearm to back of the head, behind play to an unsuspecting opponent. The fact that Membrey stayed down, didn't help Bernie's case. With  priors, he deserves what he got.

The club must challenge this. We wont be pushed around.

Absolutely shameful decision

Collected him in the back of the head. It was really stupid. If your going to get suspended Bernie you should at least make them pay for it.

Accept the 1 match suspension and move on.

 

In other news... Varcoe nearly [censored] killed someone. 1 week.

It wasn't a forearm... it was the bicep and if you started taking into account players who act hurt in order to get a free then half the comp will get suspended

So Varcoe should get 3....

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
