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 !

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
