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.

Cleary the colour of the jumper influences the penalty Cannot believe this 

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
