Werribee Tigers v Casey Demons

KC from Casey

Looks like Linsday Thomas is going to be spending quite a few weeks on the sidelines.  The Dees doctors report won't do him any favours:

"Corey had a really significant head knock and he spent the night in hospital," Misson told melbournefc.com.au.  "He's already been ruled out this week and we'll just have to see how he progresses for next week, but it was a significant concussion."

Sounds like Maynard might struggle to get up for the week after this which doesn't bode well at all for Thomas

    Good. Just saw the hit on twitter, deserves at least 3-4

    So Thomas gets the same as Lewis? 

    So either the AFL MRP or the VFL MRP has to be replaced immediately .

    Jackson has to be over Gil like a bad rash tomorrow.

    Laughably ridiculous outcome.

    Your mistake Dockett  is expecting the AFL to be consistent.

    Thomas gets a well deserved 3 weeks http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-09/roo-handed-threegame-ban-by-vfl-tribunal

    In practice it means 5 games as there are 2 VFL byes.

    He might now become just a fringe player if he ever makes it back to the seniors...karma:)

    When Werribee was walking off the ground, I yelled out "Enjoy the holiday Lindsay!" to which a bunch of the north boys laughed.

    Then all of a sudden an official for Weribee, who was wearing a suit, started having a go at me, yelling and pointing "You are a clown mate" to which I said "But he tried to kill someone today mate!"

     

    Was it George Calombaris?

    The line flung in his direction has to be close to the best so far in 2017

    I think it sends the wrong message. Just because there was a couple of byes following his ban shouldn't be factored into the 'time for the crime' so to speak.

    Seems as thought the VFL tribunal are a lot more lenient than their AFL equivalents. Would be interesting to see how he fared at an AFL level hearing.

    The VFL tribunal wanted for 5 weeks, North argued 3 weeks due to the byes and got there way

    As 'McQueen' said, the VFL tribunal are a lot more lenient.

    I couldn't imagine the AFL tribunal being swayed by North's argument.

    If the AFL Tribunal can be swayed by Carlton doctor reports of post game injury diagnoses attributing them to in game events, then they will be swayed by anything when it suits them and adjust the penalty accordingly.

    Lots of AFL Tribunal lenient decisions lately...

    The VFL tribunal actually seemed to use common sense in some respects and took the VFL byes into account.  They said it's worthy of a 5 week penalty, so let's make it 5 weeks and not 7.  

    The Melbourne medical report looks horrid - Maynard suffering from amnesia as well as sever concussion.  TBH I think 5 weeks (with or without the byes) is very fortunate.

    MRP is different than the tribunal 'Lucifer'...

    ...agree though the MRP are horrible and getting worse, it's still chook lotto.

    Anybody else getting fed up with so many of our young players getting repeatedly concussed in VFL?

    And for Maynard - how deliberate does a hit have to be to be deemed deliberate? (by a non-Melbourne player, of course)

  • Quote

    Can see some semblance of reason in the bye argument.

    If you think of him as a senior player he is ineligible to play for the AFL team until three VFL games have passed. This is the equivalent of five AFL games due to the VFL byes.

    The counter argument which I think should prevail is that you are playing in the VFL comp.... it's worth five matches ... and if it is going to take seven weeks for those five matches to elapse that is your bad luck.

    Sorry to give this thread a bump, and perhaps it should be a new thread altogether, however Lindsay Thomas is up to his old tricks in his first game back from suspension after the Maynard incident.  Check it out below - lucky not to put Palmer in hospital for a month...

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
