Seems like they'll either both get off or both get done.

Given that it's an AFL tribunal, they're just as likely to suspend the umpire, Gil McLachlan, or the prime minister

    Not possible.

    Clarke:
    - AFL has not satisfied high hurdle it must overcome to be successful in its appeal

    Mmm, he did lead off with that, which is all about the doubt - so it makes sense he concludes with it - as that is all he really has.

    Bottom line is, there are people are starving in the world and money is being wasted on defending the Curnows. Let them play, give them a smack bottie and donate the money from their match fees to Charity.

    Happy for these Curnow Bros to play this week since they both seem to have a problem with their vision.

    Cleared for 20/20 vision by the Carlton doctor

    AFL reporter Nick Bowen who has been providing the updates says:

    A lot of legalese in any appeal and that was certainly the case today.
     
    Suspect we'll be waiting a while for a decision, but still think appeal on Charlie Curnow will be thrown out, but appeal on Ed will be upheld.
     
    In other words, if I'm right, Charlie's $1000 fine will stand, and Ed will receive a  new tougher penalty, most likely a one-match suspension.

    Wonder what the SC gets for this, $2000/hr?

    Crazy times folks, crazy times

    (Even funnier, we're all madly discussing it. FML)

    Your post doesn't make sense, unless you meant to say  the appeal will be rejected.

    I expect an appeal to the High Court either way.  Still reckon the whole saga is a plot to disrupt our selection planning today.

    Murphy in for Ed and Marchbank for Charlie or another Blue dropped if Charlie gets off.

    Ed is gone, Charlie not sure. 1 all would satisfy many.

    My interest in this is mainly because we are playing the Blues this week. If it was a GWS player I'd be doing work right now. :P

    Looking like a week for Ed so that Chris Scott can tape his head back together.

    So both Curnows tell fibs, but one is more plausible than the other.

    Good pick. To save AFL face, it really had to be, didn't it? Let's steamroll the 'Scum this weekend - and along the way, flag, tag and bag Curnow with a couple of 'get up slowly, with assistance' bumps whenever possible, and I mean more than once.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.

    • 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.
