Anyone have any idea how Dusty gets a fine for an ump push and Curnow get a week for an ump push?

 

Good old "Brownlow Contention" of course!

I must try that next time I'm bretho-d ... "officer, I am in contention for the Brownlow." "Carry on then, citizen."

    I can't wait for a player to demonstrate to an umpire how he had been pulled around the neck and deserved a free.  Will they get a fine?

    Not sure why everyone is surprised, the Brownlow quickly becomes a farce if both fyfe and dusty are missing, it’s all about $$$ to the AFL If they can get him off they will he would have to hit someone to get suspended like fyfe did, dusty is the most marketable player in the game he is almost untouchable it’s why he never gets pinged for high fendoffs and stuff like that

    Too many umpires on the ground maybe??

    Idiots run the game now

    It's clear as day in the rule book. Intentionally making contact, attempting to make contact, carelessly making contact with an ump are all reportable offences.

    The umpiring dept has lost the plot. Why are they chumming up to the players and verbally coaching them when all they're supposed to be doing is refereeing them without fear or favour?

    Unless .... could it be .... they have a conflicting instruction that overrides their programming and jams their circuits .... "thou shalt contribute to the entertainment of the game".

    The AFL have a mania for creating grey areas and look what they reap. Self inflicted but all the rest of us suffer along too.

    Rance should test the boundaries and demonstrate how he grabbed a bloke by the goolies.

    Star player + fan favourite = he gets off & the ump gets suspended!

    Christian came out with a straight face and said the contact was not intentional and was graded careless. Astounding

    Also the case didn’t go the tribunal when the previous ones did.

    Make a statement and set a strong precedent about umpire contact by rubbing out the best player in the comp,   or let him walk free as we don't wanna ruin Brownlow night?

    I'll let you guess what the AFL chose.

    So you can touch the umpires when you’re attempting to demonstrate your point? Got it. 

    Now we get to see the avalanche of junior players "just demonstrating" thing to the umps. Well played, Christian.

    The AFL don't believe in precedent. It kind of cramps one's style, and the TV moguls aren't interested anyway.

    Make the rule simple.

    Intentional v not intentional 

    The rules are already simple. The enforcement of their own rules is a task that is beyond the AFL mismanagement.

    Have you ever seen the movie Hostage? 

    Have read two rumours. One is that players were forced into a fake hostage situation, with "terrorists" ambushing their bus and holding players at gunpoint. 

    Another scneario, revealed by Damian Barrett tonight on FC, involved some kind of nighttime hunter/predator chase through a forest, which left players bewildered and confused.

    The whole thing sounds utterly bizarre.

    If that’s true, no wonder the players are [censored] off. That’s just screwing with peoples heads. What happened to the days of running up sand dunes with spare tyres above your head. World is getting weirder when it should be getting better

    Sounds like they did an escape and evade course and conduct after capture course. Certainly a weird thing to put footy players through.

    Ive heard of some pretty full on corporate team building sessions. I had one two months ago with a smaller team. Whilst they are intrusive, it relies on everyone participating and overall I find its good for team building. However, if its not done correctly people will feel singled out and it will erode trust.

    Sounds like the latter may have happened here, but more seriously.

    Wouldnt surprise me - Adelaides culture seems shocking.

    It sounds to me like some players over there have not bonded with trust,,, to the crows group.  And so when trying to bridge that gap in trust, it can go awry.

     

    Maybe EddieB doesn't trust anyone, readily???  and so may not buy-in, so well.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
