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.

    - 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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
