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. 

 

If you ever needed a reminder for why you should hate hawthorn .... thankfully we still beat those [censored] that day ! 


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. ?

Scum

Can't even stand your ground when some Muppet with zero awareness comes careering toward you. Joke.

Well ... you actually can if your club is owned by the afl ... heck you can even roundhouse that Muppet for good measure and it’ll only cost you $1500 


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.

I meant something along the lines of Cats!!! if you can work out the censored!

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

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
