Ox on SEN is fuming Thompson only got the 1 week. Reckons he should have got 3 to 4 for a thuggery hit.

Worse possible outcome

Argh! Next week is an incredibly important game. It will be made that every bit harder now that we won't have Hogan and Lewis out there.

I'll admit that both action shows were reckless, stupid and deserved at least one week apiece, but two and three weeks respectively seems very harsh, especially considering that Thompson was only given the one week.

Thank goodness we'll have Bernie set to come back in to cover for Lewis. Spencer seems likely to get a look in as well.

The Lewis one stings the most.

Against Geelong, we were never going to have either of them play.

Hopefully against Freo, we can scrounge a win without both of them.

But to then not have Lewis for the Richmond game in a massive Anzac Day eve game....hurts.

given lewis cops three either way, might as well appeal his at any rate

He'll get 4 if we appeal

I believe 3 weeks is an absolute joke for Jordan lewis, but regardless the fact that he put himself in this situation is an indictment. 

Jordan came to the club for leadership and skills and to teach a young team how to play AFL footy.

Regardless of if he hit him or blah blah, Jordan put himself in the situation where a negative result could occur in a quarter where we were down in the dumps. He stooped down to the level, frustrated by our poor performance that quarter and hit a guy after a blues goal and got himself suspended.

An absolute atrocity, and something he should feel very ashamed of

Our so called improved depth will now get tested.

Trengove Bugg Kent Pedersen Kennedy will be pushing their case over the next couple of weeks.

So is Hogan out for 2 or 1 with an early plea?

The AFL site is saying he will miss both Geelong and Freo games.

I just watched the Thompson hit- I do not understand how the MRP come up with their deliberations. That was far more forceful and dangerous than anything Lewis or Hogan did.

The inconsistency is incredible.

This is nothing new for us. The AFL always hit the non-favoured clubs harder reynold. The AFL never changes its spots. We are easy pickings

We are 2-0 and they are 0-2. Must be the only way anyone sane could look at that Thompson decision. One of the more dangerous and gutless things I've ever seen. 

Throwing punches isn't great behaviour but at least the other guy is going toe to toe with you. A blind cheap shot elbow could've cracked any number of bones in Dangerfield's head.

Hogan got 3 down to 2, can accept 2 games

Phenomenal decisions.

Cannot believe the Thompson one, consider Rance's dog hit on Watts last year was almost the same, but with less force. And he got 2 for that.

This is the biggest load of BS.

    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
