unbelievable. or is it all too believable. a bloke can kick someone in the face and still be eligible for the fairest (and best) player award. a bloke with a record at that.

i would say the MRP has gone mad except we already knew they're beyond that.

wines. airborne. elbow. to the head. there are some previously suspended players out there wondering what the f*** is going on. along with all the rest of us.

the AFL don't mind. it's not hurting ratings or gates so where's the issue???

Im more annoyed with Shuey getting off. he ignored the ball and collected Dangerfield in the head. it is bloody rubbish that it all hangs on how the player comes up. It was a dangerous act and he shou

Does anyone really think given the Trillion permutations during a match that someone, anyone ( let alone Greene) jumped into the air with the premeditated intent to kick someone in the face ? ... REALLY. ??  Ffs

Have to disagree on that. The potential for major damage to the face from a straightening (let's call it just short of a kick) leg, studs out, should have meant Greene with his record, sitting out a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks. I may be wrong, but in soccer if a player tackles studs out, isn't it an instant red card, which I assume means a holiday for at least the following week?... why should it be any different in the AFL?

Greene also extended his foot into Dalhouse's face after he made contact. It's assault by any definition.

And, how the fluck did Wines get away with hitting an E Coli Wobbler's head????

Whether it's premeditated or not is not the issue. He kicked Dalhouse in the face, boots studs out.

It's as crappy as the West Coast Eagle defence of the elbow to Oliver's chin. By any definition, an elbow to the chin is common assault.

Wines is as lucky as Melksham was.

mrp lottery

Agreed, both were crude but lucky that the players weren't affected. Had both players come from the ground assisted (even if they came back) they would've each got at least a week. 

MRP works on injury result, not the action. 

Greene's a rat, but I think it would be a slippery slope to suspend him for that. A misconduct charge is fair, maybe the fine is a little lean but it was a reflex action in my opinion.

yes I really do, Dalhaus had look on his face, oh merde, he knew exactly where it was going. Greene is a sniper of the 1st order.

How TF does Ollie Wines get off for an elbow to the head??

And Toby Greene. Fined for shoving a boot into the face of Dalhaus.

They really are brazen and deplorable at the MRP

Surely Greene was either incidental, no penalty, or at best reckless, high contact, high impact - 4-3!   A fine to someone on 10K a week is nothing. 

And of course it is the AFL's own pet team and finals are approaching - can't have such a key player in their premiership campaign out at the pointy end of the season

And Wines is (i) in the Downlow race, maybe, and (ii) a key part of another interstate team' campaign.

Nothing corrupt at AFL HQ ????

Got a feeling i saw for a fleeting moment Greene's head move slightly to see where best to place his right boot, which is not an easy thing to do whilst airborne:cool:

Absolutely none of this rounds MRP action made sense. Redpath gets 2 for a trademark Phil Davis dive, fines for Wines and Greene.

Of course it makes sense - Greene is needed for the AFL / GW$ Premiership bid, and Wines may have a few votes.

Wines makes contact to the head with an elbow, Green makes contact to the face with studded boots.

The head is not as sacrosanct as they want us to believe.

Mixed messages and zero consistency

I just saw the Redpath one. Aaahahaha 2 weeks! Surely he's being Punk'd, where's Ashton hiding? Come on, reveal the joke. You must be [censored] kidding me. That is just... I don't even know. Please. 

Wines getting off is also a joke. He jumped and hit the head. Absolute blueprint of what not to do. If Vince did it he'd be sent to Florida for lethal injection. 

I have no problem with Greene getting off. Instinct and accident.

I find it interesting (and I know I can sound like a patronising git - this isn't meant to be) that people have such a different perspective on the same incident. Several respected posters saying the same thing has had me look at it another dozen times and I still see a very intentional dog act. To me this is so much clearer than the Schofield cheap shot to Olivers' jaw. I want a few of you my jury when I get done for murder, that is for sure.

Not patronising at all. I knew it'd divide opinion as soon as it happened. It looks horrible and I I can see why people think it's intentional. 

I just really doubt, with all Greene's recent actions, he thought I'm gunna jump up, grab the ball and kick this [censored] in the face real quick.

Doubt that he premeditated it. Just the kind of thing he does by instinct. That's his mentality. He clearly looked at Dalhaus coming in and fended of with his boot. Weak cop out by the MRP.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
