Riewoldt's Cheap Shot

The AFL is so corrupt! Trying to cave in a bloke's ribs with an elbow draws a fine (because Jack is obviously a 'good bloke'). Compare this to the one match suspension May copped last year, ruling him out of round 1.

    Got a reprimand under the ‘good bloke’ ruling, ala Burgoyne. 

    If it were the other way around Sicily would’ve got 4 weeks.

    Can’t stand the AFL’s boys club.

    Their blatant bias in decision making makes them seem like such a provincial backwater league. Absolute Farce League.

    We get crucified at the tribunal I'll never forget Brent Moloney got suspended without making contact with the other bloke who fell on his head dodging him and went off injured.

    I wonder if the fact that next week's game has special significance to the Reiwoldt family, has anything to do with the outcome?  I'd actually hate to see him miss out on that game.

    Is it significant beyond the fact his cousin used to play for the Saints? Not being rude. Genuinely curious.

    As I recall, the Saints v Tigers game is officially known as Maddie's Match, in honour of the late Maddie Reiwoldt (Nick's sister and Jack's cousin).  It is a major fundraiser for 'Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision', an organisation that was established to fund medical research into finding a cure for Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

    An organisation that Silvio Berlusconi would feel right at home within.

    Thanks Mr Empathy.  You probably should have made that response against my original post where I said that I would hate to see him miss a game that obviously means a lot to him on a personal level, rather than a post describing what that organisation does.  It must have been the red mist obscuring your vision.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
