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. 

As you say, had Vince or Lewis done that they would be out for quite a while ....)"duty of care..etc..blah, blah, blah...) but they are not important players in an interstate team struggling to make finals.

And I take issue with your comment re Greene ...... didn't get off.    IMO should have been either  "nothing to see here, move on" with no penalty, or, 3-4 weeks for recklessly endangering life.   A half hearted response from a deeply flawed body run under instruction from HQ.  Must protect a vital player in the AFL / GW$ premiership push.

    Vision is up. I can't see anything untoward at all, but we accepted it.

    that's what i thought seeing that vision. though the video angle was not very good. given the guy was out cold there must have been something in it but it's not as though he lined him up or anything. i couldn't even work out what part of himself he hit him with. looked maybe a fist he was trying to knock ball out with, but it wasn't too clear

    You serious? Is that all it bloody was? Soft as!

    But, but, but... what about all of those saying it was a trading offence?? Surely they can't all have been guessing wrongly, having not attended the game.

    Haha, that's funny. I think he's super important to our future and one of the very few who can hit a target.

    Interestingly enough no North player remonstrated with Salem....It didn't look intentional to me.

    Yes Mono, very odd, the MRP trashed their own brand by giving Greene a fine. This means he transgressed the rules in some way and given his record, the third transgression this year, he would have to pay a price in games,  most would think. 

    He either did nothing or he was reckless, inflicting a medium impact, head high use of my boot studs to protect his space, not to allow him to mark from a kick but to just receive an errant handball. The boot was used to fend off a tackler, to gain time and space for a release, not to protect his body in a marking contest. There is a difference I think. The precedent set is I can lift my feet to fend off a challenger at any contest with perhaps only the threat of a fine if you collect their face. 

    Still remember Steven King got off Scott free after kicking Jeff White in the face with a crazy head high hoof at a bounced ball! Jeff needed cosmetic surgery and a face reco as a result but apparently it was not negligent, high and high impact back then.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
