Ed will get a week, Charlie just a fine.

I think Charlie’s is worse. Trying to stop an umpire coming in to bark orders. Doesn’t look good.

    No way Charlie should go for that.Ed maybe but i think both are ok2

    Why shouldn’t he go??? He pulled the umpire back.  Regardless how soft, you can’t touch an umpire on purpose

    Last round Ed 24 disposals, 2.1 goals, 13 tackles, 147 AF points, 1 maggot molest. We won’t miss him.

    Slobbo just said he should get a week which means he wont. Personally Charlie shouldnt, nothing in it.

    You may be right but charlies is worse than eds. If Hawkins gets a week then so should they. Personally I don't think there is anything in these incidents but rules are rules.

    I really don't see a huge difference between these and the Hawkins case.

    May has obviously pointed out that he was demonstrating to the umpire and had a reason for touching him with little force.

    What are both Ed and Charlie's reasoning? Neither were accidental. They were both moving the umpire out of their space. I really think both should get a week if the AFL want to be consistent with this one. They have a chance to do so.

    If the AFL are so pedantic with players' touching umpires, then it also needs to go the other way as well. Umps shouldn't touch player's either.

    Or give ridiculous free kicks against them.

    I noticed the odds went from 1.22 to 1.16 for the dees this weekend. 

    Have these two been ruled out?

    They showed the full footage on 360 and tbh seeing it in it’s full I think both will cop a week.

    Yes agree, there was a lot more in the Charlie one shown from the Afl 360 footage then was seen in the original footage. I suspect we'll have a Curnow free game next sunday.

    If they don’t they’re devaluing the offence, causing unnecessary confusion and leaving themselves wide open for being accused of introducing  yet another kangaroo court. 

    Surely they don’t want that.

    Regardless of what they should get, Gill wets his pants watching the Curnows light up the G. He'll want them to play: "To hell with the tribunal"

    They had the MRP guy on the news talking about this.  He said the force is irrelevant and the only thing they look at is whether it was deliberate or careless.  May got off because they decided he was careless.  Both Curnows look to have done it deliberately, so they will probably be done for a week each.

    Just saw the extra footage and different angle of the Charlie Curnow incident and I reckon he’s definitely gone. He seems to touch the umpire twice.

    Ed’s looks about on par with the Hawkins incident so have to be a week for him as well.

    Footy is becoming a joke if these two get suspended - along with the Hawkins one. No malice or aggression in either one. 

    You don’t gain respect by ruling with an iron fist. Look at rugby and soccer where the players have a lot more respect for umpires. They can touch a guy on the arm, no big deal. 

    Afl treating the players like school kids as usual

    The AFL are so compromised. These two imbeciles didn't just touch the Umpires (sacrosanct, dominus vobiscum), they pushed the Umpires. Phil Carmen would be saying , join the club you blokes.

    Just on a side issue Cripps indicated in "On The Couch" by his answer to a direct question, on last year's game, from Lyon, i think , about whether or not Hogan broke his jaw,  said that there was slight break in his jaw last year. The question still remains, when.........

    The Curnow boys (a recycled Jedward) should be punished, and should have to lick a Razor Rays head for 10 minutes each.

    After the Hawkins incident I would give them both a week just for being dumb...surely they couldn't be that stupid, could they?

    I just got the impression that Cripps was being diplomatic with his answer.? ?

    • 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.
