The Curnow Brothers at the Tribunal

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

    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"

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

    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.

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
