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: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
