That Moloney decision was nothing short of a disgrace and the Tribunal simply made it up as they went along. It still sticks in my craw. 

Another shocker was the Jack Trengove throw on Dangerfield, who was allegedly destroyed in the incident, with Jack getting 4 weeks while Danger was miraculously resurrected to be best on the ground with 5 goals the next week.

What about jack viney on tom Lynch. laughable

 

Brisbane Dr reporting the player was concussed... think May is gone

Emails from Lions officials seem to indicate otherwise. Also no further testing was done.

Taking that seriously, aren't you disappointed that it is even arguable whether he did or did not do anything wrong.  Shouldn't he have just KO'd the bloke to scare people in future? 

And we should be disappointed if we don't have at least 2 or 3 blokes on suspension every week just to show how tough  we are. 

My username is wrecker45. Unfortunately, in my lifetime I haven’t seen a premiership. The greatest passage of football and closest thing to a premiership I have seen is when whelan the wrecker took out hird and Travis Johnstone grabbed the ball that spilled into dispute. TJ slotted it from 55m on the boundary line. 

Yes we should bump blokes into tomorrow if we have the opportunity.

Dam right. Get yourself suspended so you can't play, that'll really put the jeebies up them.

Shades of Doug and Dinsdale Piranha here.

Tony Lockett is the greatest full forward of all time.

Let's not kid ourselves.

These things you say are supposed to be true, and in a fair and consistent MRP/tribunal world they would be true and no-one would have any issue with any of it.

But ... we don't live in that world. We live in a world where the MRP work off the wheel of fortune, or a darts board, or dice rolls, or horoscopes ... no-one can be sure, such is the discrepancy and inexplicable randomness of it ... and the tribunal is something to be gamed, where you take your most audacious shot and hope that the tribunal members' biorythms are out of sync and you get a favourable result. And you often do!

We are out of our minds if we sit back and say "well, it's a fair cop". Because it is not a fair cop, not in the world where fairness and consistency have been replaced by chooklotto.

We've come up snake eyes and want a second roll of the dice. If we don't get it, or if we accept the results of the first roll, we're not playing the same game and deserve to lose.

Until the AFL/MRP/tribunal get their act together we have every right to be upset, and every right to have a second bite of the cherry.

Clubs need to challenge every decision of the MRP for no other reason than to get the AFL to work toward finally getting it right, ie, consistent.

You've actually made the most sense of all this. No mean achievement.

You understand the subtlety and nuances of the rigged inconsistencies.

You are wise among others not so.

The game is a contest....the support is about contesting.The game is played on and OFF the field... between posts and between ears.

Go Dees

One match upheld.

Misses Port Adelaide.

BS

The thing is Berry ran into the wrong bloke. If it had been Garlett or Spargo or Jkh, both would have ended up on the ground and nothing would be said.

May cant be blamed just because he's solid as a rock.If it had been Nic Nat May would could have come off second best.We are not playing a team of pre schoolers.

 


Brisbane said he was fine, no concussion issues, kept him off because he had played enough minutes, cited other instances of the same thing where players were not suspended.. All ignored. Ridiculous. 

The fix was in

The afl couldnt allow 2 suspensions to start the year get over turned. How that [censored] that is medium impact to the head is beyond me.


I guess the tribunal didn’t read the 12 pages of expert witness statements on this site.

i also guess that Oscar and Frosty get another chance to redeem themselves

 

Pathetic weak [censored].

So intentionally punching someone in the head is now less of an offense than bracing for impact in play. The system is broken and the AFL are weak as [censored].

Beggars belief! Mumford..... Burton..... Of course! How silly of me! We are talking the AFLclowns here!!

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
