Absolutely dumbfounded by these sanctions! Can someone please find footage of Liam Shiels elbowing a Geelong player in the JLT and tell me how that was reckless rather than intentional?

His was only fined for that and the ball was well gone.

Irrespective of your view of the MRP findings, I'm sick of so-called leaders of this football club continually getting themselves suspended for acts that are stupid and not at all at tough or brave. 

Hopefully the club withholds payments of wages for games missed due to dumb acts. The players certainly aren't meeting their end of the deal when they are sitting in the stands. If either Vince or Lewis goes again this season, they should come back via Casey.

Has Nathan Jones ever been suspended? There are plenty of players who can play hard and tough, without crossing the line.

So, an opposition player can take a dive - yes, despite a stupid act - MRP reviews on the vision only.  No opportunity to plead a case, speak about the nuance of the incident or the actual level of impact.  Contest the MRP finding and you risk a greater sanction.  Yep, makes sense to me - not

No need to contest Hogan decision as he won't be needed against Freo.

Not saying these decisions are fair, but perhaps the justification for the decision was that Lewis intended to affect the result by taking out their best player (Like he did to Goldstein) and the subsequent 3 week ban would do the same for MFC. 2 is reasonable though, not 3.

I hate how inconsistent the MRP is with these sanctions. Somehow these are worth 2 and 3 weeks but other more damaging and intentional hits don't carry the same weight?? 
So frustrating for this to happen just when we are building momentum. Not surprised Lewis is suspended as it was probably going to happen with him at some stage due to his 'unsociable' history. Hogan being out for a few weeks with no prior record is unexpected and going to hurt us big time. We need him structurally as Watts is down on form and Weid is not ready to kick bags or be the number 1 big target.

There must be other vision we haven't seen. The Lewis one of barely worth a fine let alone 3 weeks. Cripps took a dive and got p and minute later laughing as he jogged away. Absolute rubbish!
[censored] you MRP!

hogan will always be needed against any oppo as he takes the best defender.

no side is good enough to not have best players out there if they're fit.

any arrogance is unfounded at melbourne.

So apparently both players had medium impact to their heads. I have a question about that, why is Carlton not being dragged over the coals for allowing two players to continue playing without undergoing concussion tests from the 'medium impact' they both sustained to their heads!

sounds like the Carlton Doc has it in for us a bit, or the boys lied and the club didn't follow the AFL rules around concussion!

I thought was a joke when I read it!  3 for Lewis!??  not much vision but Ive looked closely, there is a forearm to the head. certainly low contact.  cripps goes down and then is magically fine 30 seconds later.

 

I thought Hogan deserved a week as you cant deck someone off the ball but 2 is harsh

add in the varcoe and thompson ones and I just want to lose my SHITT!

Right on Poita,

 

Whacking someone in the face doesn't prove your tough, how about kicking 6 goals on them or cleaning them up with quality possessions.

 

We all know the AFL is inconsistent with the MRP, don't get into that situation in the first place!!!!

 

Nuffies Lewis and Hogan, they let themselves, teammates and supporters down

When the Bulldogs lost players last year, they survived

We must do the same. 

Put Spencer in the Forward line. 

He will be hanging for a game

I'm not a MFC player, so over confident arrogance is fine. We've earnt enough arrogance to be confident v Freo. Notice I'm not arrogant about Richmond because I think we'll need him, hence a good reason to not contest and lose him for 3.

Dumb and undisciplined stuff from our boys - you'd think with Vince copping his week for a head high hit the others may have learnt

I agree on Hogan but I thought Lewis was trying to show the way through borderline legal aggression. I dont think we would have won without what Lewis did.  He sparked the brawl and woke us up, he wouldnt have expected to connect like he did and cripps to be a [censored] about it

Yep, now it's a good test. We have guys chomping at the bit to come in, so hopefully they'll be adequate cover.

Vince back and Pedo/Spencer for Hogan. Bugg might find a way in too, he dominated at Casey over the weekend.

I would hope the club publicly calls this out for what it is.... 

An elbow (both high and intentional) to the head of a player already on the ground only warrants a week. 

The MRP has been a joke for years. 

Time to speak out, stuff the fines that follow.

The MRP are either corrupt, incompetent or a bit of both. The Hogan penalty is an embarrassment for basically a retaliatory slap and a guy diving to milk  a free kick.1 week  or a fine would have been the outcome if he played for a power cliub. But like much of the AFL they have.little integrity and punish the weak because they are to coward like to take on the big clubs

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
