Wow just saw the video of it, when that gets 3 weeks and Wines's gets a fine you know the system needs an overhaul. 3 weeks for a push that makes very minimal contact with the neck and chin, regardless of any record, is a disgrace. 

Wines got all the luck and Redpath got none of it. 

Overhaul the system AFL, that has to be a priority in the off season.

    Is it just me or has everybody that has shown physical aggression towards Phil Davis been suspended this year? 

    Have heard the guy is a massive wuck fit of the highest order. Surely that would be the main argument put forward at the tribunal in a players' defence?

    Yes, Davis was the guy that got Hawkins suspended.  He has been known to dive and there was a discussion on one of the footy programs that he is making a habit of it.

    The annoying thing for me is the Oliver was torn to shreds by the media for (not) diving (a case that also went to the Tribunal) but Davis is barely mentioned.

    I feel for Redpath but the MRP should look at Davis' antics a bit more closely - so should the media.

    They should have got Davis to speak and ask if he went down a bit to easily. It was an open hand.

    Ollie Wines hit was the one the afl hate.  The guy left the ground and raised his elbow. 

    Id be filthy this morning if I  followed the dogs

    You can kick someone in the head, but have to be careful when tackling a player to ensure that their head doesnt hit the ground.

    Redpath. 3 weeks, what a joke. Ollie Wines escapes with a fine. Bizarre game.

    There is no common sense anymore, how Redpath ends up with 3 and Wines gets zilch is absolutely mind boggling.

    So frustrating for supporters,  the games custodians need to take a good hard look at themselves, surely something has to change,next season with the farcical structure of the MRP.

    Don't you hate it when auto correct changes comedians to custodians...

    I know where Redpath went wrong. Firstly he should have struck Davis with the stops on his boot to the lower part of Davis' face, drawing blood. No problem with that. The other problem is being a Bulldogs player. Big mistake !!!!!

    Am I correct in saying that the extra week Redpath got was for challenging the decision and failing?

    If so that needs to be changed. I know in the past there were too many challenges and so the AFL wanted a disincentive to challenge but that is way too harsh.

    I'd say you would be correct yes. Didn't help that he stuffed up his statement either.

    It doesn't matter though because its completely ridiculous. The MRP seem to have differing views on everything.

    Maybe it's a delayed evener from the freebie flag where they spent all last year playing throwball.

    • 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.
