Werribee Tigers v Casey Demons

Featured Replies

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)

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...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
