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 !

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
