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

    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 Because it is not a fair cop, not in the world where fairness and consistency have been replaced by chooklotto.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

    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.

    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].

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
