Can someone post the mumford one, and the May one, please?  The comparison would be enlightening...

    Im sorry, but how did Mumford get off the other week?

    Can someone explain that??

    That was ages ago, back in JLT1. Different interpretation for JLT2, simples.

    And crunches people unnecessarily, resulting in suspension. That’s not football. It’s unnecessary thuggery.

    That;s NOT thuggery, we need more players like May to show some Mongrel. Thuggery is king hits behind play. We have over sanitised this game because of the National directive Nana Imperative!

    AFL view seems to be..

    Let's be seen to do... When it suits us and when we have to turn a "Blind eye" to protect "Vested Interests" so be it

    Muppetry of the highest order!!

    Yeah because depending who you are and which club you play for you might get awarded a free kick and score a goal.

    Personally I’m not happy with the result, but as long as the AFL is consistent for the whole season, so be it. Be interesting when the first big name player does a similar thing though?

    If I was MFC I’d be asking for a refund of the $10000 as soon as a player gets off for the same thing. ?

    Oh well, so much for bringing in the so called Big Gun !  Not only did he fire a blank, he was disarmed at the Tribunal.

    From The Age report:  '...Woods argued May's left foot rose above the ground and his right foot was on the brink of leaving the surface, which meant May had "significant momentum" when he collided with Berry'.

    I thought that lifting one's feet one after the other is how a person moves forward - it is called walking!!  'Significant momentum'?  But what evidence was there to link it to 'medium' impact?  It appears zilch!

    From The Fox Report:  After Brisbane explained that Berry didn't play on because he had played enough minutes, not because he wasn't able, 'AFL counsel Andrew Woods argued that such evidence was irrelevant'.  Honestly, I find it staggering that the only real evidence of impact ie no injury, no concussion is considered irrelevant!

    Where does that leave Christians' medium impact' case:  1. Player reaction: Berry fell backwards.  2. Medical report: which was was not damning at all - no injury, no concussion.  3. Did not return to play as he was not concussed and had played his minutes.  So the only criteria left is 4. visual look of the incident. 

    So May is out because it looked bad ie the optics.  Woods virtually says as much: 'based on the footage alone, the impact "must be more than low"'.

    Its laughable that none of the objective criteria are fulfilled yet it is upheld. 

    We can't win: one of our players goes down and it is called 'staging/diving', another team's player goes down and the visual looks so bad the impact must be medium.  Not saying Berry staged it at all; just saying the optics is a very poor criteria for any suspension let alone deciding the impact.

    And this was the official AFL app promoting the Collingwood/GWS game last year. They are on very shaky ground.

    So players can fake getting high contact and your opponent gets a week! AFL is a joke!

    Watching the Channel 7 news, couldn't believe my ears when I heard Brisbane declare there was concussion suffered by their player. Suspect someone is toeing the party line here. Will be watching the 2019 season with interest for similar decisions handed out to big name/popular/Brownlow favourite/big media presence, players. And how successful they will be when they appeal their punishment. I'm pretty sure the outcomes will be different. Sigh of resignation...

    According to Channel 7 news at six, Brisbane claimed their player was concussed. Someone must have leaned on them.

    A joke and it is confirmed the AFL is a game for hard running [censored]! Our legal team must have recruited from high school.

    First impression seeing it on Saturday was it was undisciplined and something they would look at to set a standard as they always do early in the season.

    Stupid act and I hope Goody has torn strips off him in private.

    As was the case with Lewis and Hogan in 2017, theres tough acts and theres going over the top costing your side

    That's what this was

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
