Pathetic!

So you are now allowed to punch someone in the guts with the ball no where in sight?

Great game we have this AFL

I thought they were cutting down on this? Didn't Clarry get a fine in the JLT for less than this.

 

Seriously what do you really expect from such a corrupt and compromised organisation as AFL and their henchman at match review.

Blatant double standards.

I will never forget Bernie being reduced to vomiting after some north thug gut punched him which was also ignored.

Such a bunch of bloody blatant hypocrites.

FFS this makes me angry. if you look at where that punch is aimed its right on clarrys  solar plexus. Which, if youve ever been punched there is both painful and a bit debilitating. Honestly..how the f@uck does he get away with that??! Imagine if it were the other way around. Im really sick of the shite this club and especially this player puts up with. Wish SOMEONE in this, What often seems like an overly polite, [censored] weak club would speak up for us. This is the trouble with taking AFL money I suppose.

While we're talking about the 20/20 sight of maggots, did anyone see the Boundary maggot who paid out of bounce, when behind play, on the boundary, where he would have had to have seen through two players, when another Boundary maggot who was ten metres ahead of play on the boundary, didn't call the ball out at all. I guess they were just watching the great game.......

I’m surprised at myself for getting angry over this. Just when I started to calm down. It’s not a joke anymore as it’s no longer funny. 

I suppose Steele threw his arms out saying he didn’t touch him. Is this the same schmuck that a threw a cheap one at Max’s back the first time we played them at Etihad 8 weeks ago?

Open hand to the stomach. Low impact.

Probably would have been looked at if Oliver didn't exaggerate contact. He needs to cut this out of his game.

Should have been a fine based on what Oliver copped in JLT.

A precedent. Barry Hall's preliminary final hit on the poor Saints player. A cheap shot straight in the guts. To be fair to Barry, it was in play. The ball was about 90 metres away so quite close really.

BAMF - clearly YOU have never received a totally unanticipated punch in the guts.  Next there will be folk suggesting that Oliver is a serial diver (which is what you are implying) and maybe should be fined or even suspended for that.

Should Franklin have got a week also?

Would have got two were he wearing red n blue, but he isn't and he is also Franklin.

Between umpiring and MRP the game has me confused that’s for sure and agree totally, especially last year he would’ve got 3-4

It's open season on our players from opposition players and umpires since we were 8-3. Will continue until we are out of contention.

Actually, the reason why I have such a strong opinion is because I HAVE been punched in guts unanticipated.

Well, to be fair, as a 17 year old who could run all day and had pace to burn playing against men in a tough league I was always sort of expecting some attention. Nothing like a punch in the gut to slow a young player down to your speed. I have copped much worse than that hit on Oliver.

I completely feel for Oliver. He was coping a hard tag, and while I didn't see any other physical contact, no doubt there was.

I am glad the AFL are issuing fines to stomp this out. 

I feel he goes to ground too easily. The contact is there, but he exaggerates. He has done it a few times. Its not too late for him to stop.

I also dislike how Vince does it on regular occurrence.

I also have a severe dislike for Rance, Lindsy Thomas, Toby Mclean and Rhys Matherson.

I think a fine is what it deserved. Players are shoving chests every game and Steele went a bit low and caught Clarry by surprise. Low impact blah blah move on.

I am more interested in the fact that it was the easiest free kick for the umpires to call all day. Hits before the bounce like that are called often. The umpire at the centre bounce had his back turned but there were at least two other field umpires watching what occured. I watched them sort of flinch and then relax as the umpire bounced the ball but it felt like more then enough time. I'd like cheap hits before the bounce in the centre to be something umpires look at.

Maybe it can be rule of the week.

exaggerated? he was caught totally unawares, didn't see it coming, check the video

not even sure it was open handed either

most annoying was not one maggot saw it and paid a free even though one would have to be blind

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
