    Did Brisbanes doctors record an injury to the head? I couldn't see head contact from the footage.

    If Mummy can get off for his roundhouse to the head then May should get off for bracing himself for contact. Berry should be charged for trying to charge May ?

    Is it that different to the Viney one we successfully challenged a couple of years ago?

  • Quote

    I'm extremely disappointed in the poor discipline shown by May (which is not unusual for him).  Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, he should never have put himself in that position.  It wasn't a show of strength, but rather a show of stupidity, which is likely to cost the team.  Grrr.

    As usual the tribunal have their gestapo hats on early in the season. What a ridiculous penalty.

    Even think of Burton on Higgins last year.

    This.  I'd question whether he even got him in the head.  Maybe grazed his chin with the bump.

    They probably won't challenge it, but I'd like to see them have a dip at it.  As you say, if Mumford can get off for his roundhouse then May should be right with this.

    I said this in the other thread, but if May does miss, it's not a bad time to do it with Charlie Dixon not playing.  Frost and O Mac can hold down the fort for a week.

    What do u expect him to do? Jump out of the way? Goodwin would’ve given him more than one week for doing that. 

    You are allowed to block/body check a player from running through to receive the handball. There was no force for what May did. All he did was brace himself.

    May’s shoulder clipped Berry’s chin.

    yea challenge that bs

    Can you put the gif of the hit in here?  I'm still not convinced it did anything more than possibly graze his chin.  Got him right down the middle, but that's legal.

    Judged to be careless conduct and medium impact to the head.

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-11/bans-for-key-demon-and-docker-fines-for-six-others

    But "Berry walked off the ground unassisted and was not concussed"  So how is it 'medium impact'?  Must appeal on that alone!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
