Have noticed over the last few weeks that the adjudicating clowns seem to be ignoring "incorrect disposal". More often than not, ripper tackles are not rewarded, play continues and the "tackling" side seems to suffer in the next two or three phases of play. In the first couple of rounds, I thought the tackling rule was pretty good. Now, it is back to a raffle, and I am sure that at some stage tonight, in a cracking game, the clowns will pluck one, probably in front of goal for one of the teams and determine the outcome. (Of course, if the Dees were playing it would be against the red and blue!!!)

Probably not a wise thing to do the week your coach comes out and tells you to keep it clean and play within the rules.

Haha, proves he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, definitely a tool though. ?

Lewis MFC: Greene GWS

Hmm think the MRP will judge unintentional, high contact, low impact, one week, down to zero with a guilty plea! It's the love child team after all.

Not much funny about having a 200kg behemoth making a sandwich with your head between himself and the ground.

Absolutely dangerous, lifted him off the ground and slammed him down.

Mario Milano would have been proud...

Gravity may not be funny, but it exists. Wasn't any different to any other tackle.

Mumford should gets weeks for that tackle. Liberatore out of the game concussed. That'll seal the deal for the MRP.

Looking at the replay Mummmmyy not only pushed him in the back (free kick ok) but gave him a couple of extra shoves into the ground.

Wut.  It was a midair slam tackle.  Don't think I've ever even seen that in the AFL before, let alone it being like every other tackle.

The MRP ask one question - did he have an alternative? The answer is yes - stand up in the tackle and not put his weight onto him, so at a minimum it's reckless. Player gets concussed so I reckon it's a week.

Oh you would be surprised! I can definitely hold a grudge.

Seemed to give Patton a heap of time too. No way was he taking a shot at goal from where he was. Should have been six seconds.

    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

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
