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.

    Ha ha AFL lotto at its finest.

    Carlton must have r3verted back to the good ol brown paper bag under the table.

    Oh to be a fly on the wall at the Scott household right now!

    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?

    • 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?
