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?

    He needs to win the Brownlow first then he can go around chicken winging, elbowing and eye gouging people without repercussions  

    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 !

    • 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.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
