    Unfortunately Clarry has become the first victim of the new MRP, MC if you like, cracking down on the jumper/gut punch. It appears that force plays a part only in the severity of the penalty. Love taps obviously fall into the fine category. 

    Having said that I'm sure that some AFL favourites will get off scott free. *cough* Dusty *cough*

    i can't believe it wasn't appealed

    absolutely nothing in it

    sets a terrible precedent for the season if not contested

    dc, I think the club is trying to teach players to be disciplined and take responsibility for their behaviours so they won't appeal this and unless there is a lot at stake (eg key player missing finals) they won't appeal future decisions. 

    It is a fair position by the club but I also think there are times when we should stand up for our players.  

     

     

    What annoys me is the MRP has not stated what the 'incident' was so if it was a punch or a strike why not say so?  If this fine is intended to deter others, it won't happen if the MRP doesn't say what the errant behaviour was.  Crikey, the umpire was right there - I wonder what he had to say to the MRP?  Poor performance by MRP on all fronts

    Does anyone know if the 'accussed' or their club can view the other club's medical report or submit info to the MRP before the decision is handed down? 

    It seems not and their only course is to appeal the decision and risk a higher penalty...

    Tough spot for a player if the other club decides to go after him and submits evidence and medical reports that put mayo on the incident.  I have vivid memories of how Carlton doctor's ensured the book was thrown at Jesse last year (with the delayed concussion claim) so he got the maximum rap when a lesser one (or none) was more appropriate.

    Clarry just received a smack in the jewels from the North player. He responded whilst obviously in pain, by quickly, but gently, tapping the North player's mid-abdomen, silently stating that '...anyone can do that to another and there is no room for it in our game.' Watch the video - that is what you see. It was more a case of Clarry pushing the North player's arm out of the way as it looked like another [censored]-smack was on its way. There is plenty of time for the AFL to repeal this atrocious decision against Clarry and appease his honour and dignity.

    Having looked at the video about 50 times I can't believe that this is the actual incident he was fined for.

    If this sets the precedent for the season then this will be ole Gil at seasons end.

    I think that's the softest tribunal decision ever.

    Two decisions in and it's already a joke. Geez

    Im going to get this story wrong but I’m relatively sure the broad outlines are correct. 

    The softest tribunal decision ever was when Colin Sylvia got suspended for something along the lines of ‘rough conduct’ when he didn’t actually physically come in contact with the opposition player. I believe the tribunal said he had ‘intent’. 

    Some weeks later Sylvia had his jaw broken and the other bloke got off!!

    Sad, but actually very true.

    I think it's a joke to get fined for that, but in saying that, I believe it was a closed fist he used. The issue of Jacobs pushing him in the back first doesn't obviously matter to the AFL.

    Now the AFL has to show itself to be consistent for this sort of "incident". Considering the amount of little jabs in the side and back that taggers use, I'm expecting the AFL to register their biggest profit at the end of the season. ???

    as he should have. once he elected to bump all the onus was on him to avoid the head. been that way for a few years. 1 week was a minimum sentence anyway. i never thought he should have appea;ed even if it was just $10k risk (to club).

    Medical Report from North: 

    Dear MC, what would you like us to put on the report. All our players obey instructions to the letter from their coach. In closing we know you will look after us for the year. Lovingly  #@%?

    most ridiculous fine ever

    YEP and so the ANT ( Auatralian No Touch) have appealed this decision on the basis that our game is now less Physical and more akin to this hybrid code where if you go past someone very fast, it is  deemed a serious serious assault!

    WTF

    Looks like the AFL are going to come down tough on [censored] slaps. 

    they picked a poor example then

    they would have sent a better message if they pinged the mongrel who dangerously pushed him into the pack

    It’s a strange decision. You can push someone in the back into their team mate and no penalty whatsoever but you can’t retaliate with a slap to the stomach. 

    So the AFL are happy with players pushing players in the back off the ball. Righteo.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
