Carlton clearly bitter and weak as usual, it is/was clearly open handed and got his cheek so the headache calls are ridiculous, all on the match review panel should be sacked for this one, this is just stupid

Not to get all conspiracy theory on this but where can we see an 'objective' medical report that states clearly the damage done to both Rowe and Cripps? 

Theres nothing in Carlton's interests to protect our players. If they believe they'll be in the mix for finals against us one competitive advantage is to try and harm us in other games. 

With the AFL placing so much value on medical reports whose ensuring they are objective and reasonable? I'm legitimately interested if anyone is aware of the process. 

Also, I hope the club is doing due diligence and asking the AFL for the full medical reports before deciding next steps.

The whole process needs to be more transparent if it's being used as a deciding factor.

As angry and annoyed I am about this one, the "open palm" defence won't do anything...

Does this mean I can go out and, with an open hand, smash my palm into the nose of my opponent, shattering it all in the thought that I will get off due to not having a closed fist?

I think not...

i'd say that in an appeal, a top barrister could make a good fist of it. ;) don't forget a different panel to the mrp handles appeals.

As opposed to " palming" off the MRP inconsistency.

If Hogan appealed he "may" get downgraded to 1 week... but at the end of the day he still misses the ONE week we need him most early this season!

I'm more angry at our players than the bureaucracy

All that is necessary for MRP's krapp to prevail is for good teams to stand idly.

push, not slap

OK a push. I don't recall anyone ever been suspended for an open handed whack of any description. Usually a reason for a player getting let off when a punch is suspected.

Disappointing that 2 key players for the game against Geelong will not be there. Would love to know what Goodwin has to say to Lewis and Hogan about these stupid acts of frustration. One should know better and the the another hopefully learns  from letting their team down.  Be interesting to see who the replacements with be.

all footy players should know by now that if you want to hit your opponent always use your elbow, not your palm

And a knee of course.

Pretty sure Stephen Powell got a week for biatch slapping Luke Hodge.

First you need to grab their jumper, pull back, then punch 'em in the mouth with it.

It looked to me like Hogan hit his opponent with a fist to the throat but the behavior of the opponent on the ground was nothing like what I would expect from a punch in the throat; I think the blow was milked.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
