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...

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
