Both Curnows have been cleared to play. 

 

Unbelievable. I even feel sorry for Hawkins. That is a farce and Fitzpatrick is not even there anymore.

    The AFL will roll over and allow both Curnows to play Sunday. They have neutralised their Integrity department and are now making it up as they go. May got off because his team is playing in an exhibition game in China. Without May, it would be an utter bloodbath, not just a slaughter. The Curnows play for a quite popular big club who've just had their first win and the AFL don't want to stall their progress. 

    BINGO, Just now reported both got off with fine. So umpire fiddling is now ok.

    AFL   Shameless scum organisation

    Wonder what you get for making contact with a tribunal member?

    So you can make contact with an umpire? I’d like to hear how Ed’s wasn’t intentional. 

    Both were intentional. Charlie admits he is shepherding people from the fight. He claims he didn't see the umpire??? he is running towards the guy in fluro green!

    Umpires around the country will be stoked with this ruling. Push an ump in the chest whilst looking away and Bob's your Uncle.

    Tommy Bugg would have been remanded in custody had it been him.

    push an umpire away from a fight and you can claim you were shepherding him for safety reasons

    These are two absolutely incredulous Tribunal decisions.

    They make absolutely no sense at all. Both clearly intentionally touched the umpire. 

    Hawkins must be livid he was advised (presumably) to plead guilty, if this is the way the Tribunal assesses things.

    A lay down misere, and they managed to stuff it up again.

    Meh... 

    Carlton are a joke of a club. 

    We win either way

  • Quote

    Is anyone really surprised?

    The AFL loves Carlton and is determined to favour them at every opportunity.  As evidence I offer you the number of Thur/Fri/Sat night FTA games they have been gifted.  I also offer the number of Home games (vs some high member teams...good for the $ coffers) at the G (somewhat at our expense).

    Integrity?  Pfft!  Consistency? Pfft!  Impartiality?  Pfft!

    This is Carlton folks.  This week is their home game and need to get people thru the gate to bring in the revenue.   Whatever helps Carlton the AFL deliver!

    Surprised?  Nope!

    My frustration has nothing to do with us playing Carlton this week. In fact, I’d prefer we get a full strength opposition to ensure we approach the game seriously.

    My frustration is that the MRO/Tribunal system is dishing up inexplicable and inconsistent decisions on a far too regular basis.

    Either they both get rest for a week, or the AFL's double standards are (again) on show for all to see.  Plain and simple! 

    Double standards are core values at AFL HQ.  How many hundred dollar bills can fit into an average Visy brown paper bag?

    Now, at least for us, time to move on and crush these bastards this weekend.

    Interesting to be a fly on the wall in the tribunal deliberations. Especially the second one which took longer.

    "OK so Charlie's excuse of not seeing the umpire and trying to get players away from the fight was a good one. We don't have another angle where we see him make eyes directly towards the umpire so its all good"

    "Now Ed is a bit more tricky. We should also take a bit longer to show that we're taking it seriously and considering actually giving him the week. He does see the umpire and reaches out towards him. Lets just say that he didn't mean to make contact and they were all happy shaking hands at the end of the game so that ones all good too"

    "Carlton and more importantly the AFL/$$$ will be pleased with our work here"

    We must join together with Geelong and other unaffected clubs to protest this horrendous error by the AFL; this is a corrupt outcome and surely affects us all.

    I never thought I'd say this about Cats or Hawkins... But I feel bad for both.

    Classic AFL inconsistency. AFL is a bogus organisation.

    At least they are consistent in their inconsistency

    This could also work in our favour as well, you would think the umps would not be a very happy bunch right about now, so maybe they will be on our side for once?

    • 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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
