Tex Walker's vicious act

MO FINE
in Melbourne Demons

Only reason I wanted a week was because we are playing them this weekend. Never really thought it would happen. If Hogan did it I'd be annoyed if he missed a week so we can't really complain.

    Walker and Cotchin both get away with fines?  Who'd have thought?  :rolleyes:

    I reckon the commentators try and influence the verdict by downplaying it when the highlight it. I thought both should've gotten a week

    I reiterate what I said above. In this particular incident, a fine is the only wrong answer. He's either guilty or he's not. If not guilty, no penalty, and I could live with that. But if he's guilty, it must warrant a suspension.

    Don't have to see the incident, can reliably predict the penalty just by knowing which players are involved.

    I think he should be in trouble as it's a very danderous act and no different to pushing someone into the fence, will he get suspended? Im not convinced the AFL Has a way of protecting high profile players, will be interested to see how it plays out most commentators and so called experts are already putting it in the accident basket 

    I've rarely seen players get any punishment, free kick against or anything for this act.  Granted, some of these are on the low end, but I think it's potentially so dangerous, completely gutless and outside the spirit of the game... instead we'll all get carried away with a young red head who has a bit of a chat back to the dick spectator who just sledge him.

    I'm not so sure about Tex's case.  At first we I viewed it I took his word that it was more or less accidental, but even time I watch it, it looks less and less unintentional.  I keep coming back to how skilled AFL players can be when they have the ball, evading a player or kicking a goal as an objective, but then how down right clumbsy they get in incidents like this one.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
