Weak. 

A fine should have been suffice,  for that tweak the the chest.

Just because a players has priors, does not mean he is automatically guilty, accordingly. 

this decisions is carp.

    Absolute joke. [censored] AFL HQ.

    I know it's not the done thing...for Melbourne....but I'd be promoting our concerns to the media leaving nothing to misinterpretation. 

    This is what Eddy does. Good on him.

    Jeff wouldn't let this rest either.

    Do you get fined for speaking out against the AFL as player? Just curious...

    If I was suspended incorrectly I wouldn’t be towing the party line, I’d be saying ‘I now can’t play because an incorrect decision has been made. The AFL made a mistake and change needs to happen for the good of the game’ etc.

    I’m so sick of the change that’s happening to the game. The new rules are brain dead. The new 50 meter penalty rule seems like it was created by a 10 year old for backyard footy. Ughhhhhhh [censored]

    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

    As the MFC goes harder at the ball, this supporter site becomes softer.

    Some very cringe worthy posts here.

    The May hit was perfect.

    Urgh, Westhoff always gives us trouble too.....

    No Dixon this time around, which helps and hopefully Ryder doesn’t get up.

    This is a new paradigm - the potential to cause injury. We’re now in a new world where impact is no longer based on consequence but opinion.

    just another AFL interpretation like OOB intent. This game is so far into the grey it’s ridiculous.

    Just like when it decided to clamp down on tanking, the AFL again decide to use Melbourne “to make an example of “ for removing indirect head high contact from a player holding his ground... easy target to send a message  . I’m glad the club at least contested it 

    and mummy still got off for an intentional hit to the head ... FMD

    And special kudos to May for putting us into this position even after the following incidents had happened:

    Preuss injures his groin. Probably out round 1

    Viney cops a corkey

    Jones cops a corkey

    VDB throws a punch

    JFK cops a 3 month injury and probably his career

    Harmes appeared to (at the time) cop a 2 month finger injury 

    Smith runs around with a sore groin probably robbing him of a round 1 gig

    Fritsch injures his hip.

    Oliver costs us the game with a stupid punch when we had momentum.

    and finally May’s 2 seconds of stupidity which will no doubt see Westhoff tear us a new one.

    There's a lesson to be learned somewhere in this saga.  I hope it's well learned.

    Must be an afl tribunal where ‘it’s the vibe’ argument carries weight.

    Seriously...it's time to take it up to these Bozos.

    Fair dinkum clubs don't take this rubbish without giving it back.

    The AFL think we're a soft target. 

  • Quote

    Yeah it's bull[censored] but let's take a positive it puts May on notice now, no doubt this won't have gone down well with the coaches or club leaders. The decision like it or not is the right one in the AFL eyes. Better that May learns he's lesson now then during the year when it could potentially be a worse scenario

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
