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.

[Clintosaurus 7,831]

Absolute joke. [censored] AFL HQ.

[beelzebub 23,313]

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.

 

[Lord Travis 10,696]

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

Port don’t have Kennedy and Darling.  The boys will be right!!

[Dee tention 616]

The AFL is a joke in all facets!

How do these morons get away with it and get paid a ridiculous amount of money doing it? There as pathetic as the people who run this country!

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

absolute bs, fück the afl 

[sisso 2,577]

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

[Jack son 5 162]

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

Some very cringe worthy posts here.

The May hit was perfect.

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.

[daisycutter 29,600]

so who do we appeal the appeal to?

yeah but i wanted May to scare the bejesus out of Watts

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

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

The court of public opinion.

Time to go to war against these dimwalts.

 

[Moonshadow 17,675]

Demonland after the appeal 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,737]

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. 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,823]

To AFLHQ, WHO’S WITH ME?!

Cotchin did, for a worse hit that put Shiel out of a Preliminary Final.

[beelzebub 23,313]

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. 

[JV7 2,350]

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
