I’m with WYL. He knew the damage he could inflict and he didn’t care. Rest of the season.

Wow. You really don’t get it do you. 

Delayed problems are common. I know this through personal experience

SWYL, I played and coached senior football for many years, I've had the injuries, I get it. What I don't get and think it's stupid, is you wanting to remember a players career over one incident. He most certainly is a star, that plays aggressively, would've loved to have had him last Friday night

Totally irrelevant on the quality and character of a player or past incidents. This could have serious implications for Andrews. I won’t give a second thought about Cameron when he retires.

I'm not debating he shouldn't get weeks, I hope he gets his fair serve, however remembering a players whole career because of it? Forgive and move on, in time.

Both these guys will be going through pretty traumatic times at the moment, and some people would be able to personally relate and

have unhappy feelings to both situations, just saying..........

I think you stand alone on this one mate. 

As a baby i had a tiny bleed on the brain and have never been able to walk. 

Think yourself lucky. I hope Harris Andrews makes a full recovery, but if he doesn’t i will know exactly why. 

Jeremy Cameron is forever a thug

In time. Through acts of contrition and changed behaviour. He deserves what he is getting right now - that was horrendous and with an intent to hurt Andrews. But instead of a knee in his kidneys he chose an elbow to his head and put his future in danger. 

The last thing I care about is Cameron’s repu-effing-tation.

Poor Cameron he must be completely traumatised by that decision he made to launch a flying elbow in Andrew’s head, has anyone stopped to think about his elbow? I’ll bet he pleads not guilty.

I will be impressed when he gets 10 weeks and doesn’t fight it at the tribunal.

This got Lockett 8 weeks in 1994:

Surely with tougher penalties now, Cameron will be out for similar.

Access all areas on afl website are talking 4-5 which seems way low for my mind.

Indeed way low!

8 weeks given to Plugger for breaking Caven’s nose and these guys are talking 4-5 weeks for Cameron after what he did? 

Please don’t call it a dog act. Dogs don’t do those sorts of things.

It was a thug cheap shot.

Caustic, but there things we do that we regret.......

I think 8 to 10 weeks suspension is a fair penalty given precedents for similar  vicious elbows. Then we can all move on, but........The ongoing concern is will this have future ramifications for Harris Andrews?  Could take years to find out.

i have to say cameron's actions were reckless and dangerous but i don't think he intentionally elbowed andrews

lockett's elbow however was intentional and blatant and he was fully balanced with other options

ergo, cameron to get less than lockett on this basis (not that they will take a precedent from this era anyways)

Karma blessed Peter Caven after this. The following season Lockett was traded to the Swans. Caven was not too happy to be playing with Lockett and asked for a trade. He went to Adelaide and played in two premierships whilst Lockett never got one.

Charge was graded as intentional, with severe impact and high contact.   

Straight to tribunal.

He will be lucky to get only 6-7 weeks, the medical report will be damning..  It should be 10 or more but the sickos at AFL House will cut a few weeks off as he plays for GWS and they have to protect their plastic franchise.

God I hope GWS folds just to stick it to the AFL.

Amazing how much hate there is for the AFL.

It's like Sepp Blatter or that [gnashing teeth] Verbruggen (although plenty were prolly ok with him)

Sorry, I meant Dill. Geez First Dog on the Moon could do a ripper tear down of him, racking my brown for his animal character. What's a super dopey animal.

At the tribunal hearing. Umpire Pannell says he gave a free to Cameron for being pushed in the back by a Brisbane  player Darcy Gardiner before reversing it for the hit on Andrews. Alluding that Cameron was pushed into the collision perhaps? Looks like forces are working to go lightly on Cameron.

  • 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?
