You believe it was a closed fist....on what basis .... on that clip???

Who was the scumbag who did Bernie Vince last year and wasn’t penalized a penny?

I wait, with no real anticipation, Michael Christian applying his high moral standards with consistency and without bias during the remainder of his reign. 

Yes, on that clip, it's the only footage I've seen. I also said "I believe" and also stated that I thought it was a joke to get fined. I'm not arguing what happened last year, it's irrelevant to this years penalties.

My point being, if Michael Christian is stating that it was a closed fist, no matter how soft, and the MFC obviously aren't contesting that fact, then we have to wear the fine. Christian has set a low benchmark for punches to be fined, now he has to show that he is consistent throughout the year. If he is consistent, we have nothing to argue about, let's give it a few more games, should see another punch/jab by then, and see what happens? ?

    I'm yet to see any jabs like Clarrys in JLT (it's only practice games I know) maybe the AFL sent a serious message to clubs Not to jab, as they will literally fine each instance.

    as if the afl/mrp would ever be consistent - ha

    Agreed, consistency is going to be the issue. I am already sure that it will be consistent, except for teams like Collingwood, Carlscum, Essendrug, Whoreform, Geelong and GWS. NO worries. That is all we can hope.

    And North put in a medical report. What bulltish. Comical behaviour by North and the AFL. Bloody hell.

    A medical report? What did it say? Broken sternum? FFS

    If an incident is cited by the MRP or whatever it is now, is a medical report a requirement?

    More like a bruised ego as Oliver beat him so easily.

    Surely there isn’t improper use of medical reports to gain a tactical advantage?

    Even the AFL would smell that rat?

    I suppose it could for an incident where an injury is incurred but I don’t see how it could be for something like this.

    I have no issue with the AFL trying to stamp out little punches like this, just so long as they are consistent.

    However, McDonald should have been sighted as well for the initial contact.

    Looking forward to watching how some of the better orchestrators of the Medical Reports, continue to perfect/ embellish  the practice.

    A week or two before the finals, hope we aren’t up against Adelaide or Carlton who we may run into a week or two later.

    In bits and pieces of Footy I watched over the weekend Shaw from GWS and Heaney from Sydney threw a few (comparitively) heavy hits at one another.

    They should both get (comparitively) heavy fines if there is going to be consistency. I will watch for news. If they don't get fined the AFL and Christian and the MRP can go suck a big fat one. 

    The thing that irks me is if Oliver transgresses in any way he's already got a record. He goes from a naughty boy to a very naughty boy

     It was even less than that, it was laughable as a decision. Pure prejudice.

    Well put. Indicates a lack of attention to detail, doesn't it?

    Bugga the Browlow, we want Silver Cups.

    Brownlow's dime a dozen, in comparison. :)

    What a total farce

    I just saw the video, a twist on the nipple, would be worse than that.  And they charged him $1500.00_

    I think he should challenge that.

    There's only one of each given out each year (unless there's a Brownlow tie).

    The reaction by the Bulldogs player is classic. Akin to a child looking to see if anyone is watching before starting to cry.

    Not condoning the cheap shot by the Eagles player but the other guy should go for bad acting !

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
