MRP & Sydney

Is it just me or do Sydney get away with suspensions nearly all the time. How the hell did Grundy get off with just a fine i can't believe they claimed that didn't hit him in the head that they claim it was to the body if it was to the body why was he charged at all. The AFL come out last week& said they will tolerate any more punching anymore & in the first week they have a chance to make a statement they wimp out again. Buy the way the AFL are stupid 2 years ago when they first brought out the fine system for charges Mark Evans came out & publically announced that you could have 2 fines before you are suspended why would you do that the players aren't stupid all you are telling them is that they have 2 free hits before they are suspended for low grade charges. The fine system was not designed for deliberate acts it was brought in because of careless suspensions that like Steve Johnson was getting.

That was no different to the Salem hit. Maybe even more force by Grundy because he was moving and balanced.

Mrp is a joke. It has less credibility than a John Farnham farewell tour.

 

I disagree somewhat.  Whilst we have been savaged by the MRP I have watched this over and over and I cant see the contact to the head.  I'm far more annoyed at things like Selwood ducking (he's now the most free kicked player in VFL/AFL history) I know its not MRP related but I think game day decisions affecting the outcome of games are far more relevant

  • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
