I thought it was a last quarter sling tackle in the forward pocket

    He was penalised twice with kicks for "dangerous tackles". Both ridiculous.

    That article implies it was for the first, straight on, one? I could half understand if it was the sling in the last quarter, but if it's that first one that is an absolute disgrace.

    Yep, it refers to the one in the second quarter where Pickett goes straight into the front of a Lion player.

    Disgrace from the MRO. Would love the club to challenge it but it's not worth the money.

    I think the 2nd one which he has been fined for was dangerous and he was very lucky not to knock him out. 
     

    The first one on the mid wing was a horrible decision

    What a load of horse [censored]. 

    I only remember 1 and it was a hard, uncompromising and bone jarring tackle. 
     

    FFS this ain’t netball. (That’s basically what I screamed out when a free was given)
     

    Bloody pathetic. 

    If the club is not going to challenge it then they need to pay the fine for Kozzie.

    So much for that r sole Gerard Healy saying Nev “led with his head”. Clearly McStay “led with his elbow”.

    This is the side of Pickett that I don't want them to dumb down.  I hope that, even with the fine, he doesn't change the way he plays in the coming weeks.  I want him to hunt the opposition and provide that 'implied pressure' week in, week out.

    The fine is a joke, and I hope the club tells him as much.

    It was the sling tackle in the last quarter. The 3rd quarter was deemed a spear tackle.

    Hilarious (and a f*cking joke) if that is the case

    That spear tackle was absolutely a joke. The sling was more about consistency. Viney was slung similarly earlier in the game and got nadda.

    Spear tackle?!!! This is a spear tackle:

    So the outcome has no relevance any more? A guy who uses his momentum (all 70kg and 171cm) brings down a 90kg and 193cm player and it is somehow deemed dangerous? The Brisbane player was stunned.... he got a free!! The more I see the less I like this game and where it's headed.

    Congrats to Goodwin tonight for defending our players on AFL 360... not!  Goodwin better be saying other things behind closed doors because players can sense BS!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
