Sssooooo my assumption was that if you were suspended by the AFL tribunal you were not allowed to play footy... how silly was I. Dangerdiver played in the VFL, I’m glad he was able to get over his murder trial so quickly.

The AFL, after the #spud game, suspendsĀ a f l o g who deliberately knocked out an opponent, Ā and then allows him to play in a lesser comp days later... wow that is bush league at its finest. #@carowilson

No whispers yet from Geelong re appealing Rohan's 2 week suspension.

Gone to ground after last week's 4-day pro Danger media campaign failed spectacularly.

They should read the writing on the wall and know that any head high contact that results in concussion will be shown no mercy.Ā  See Sam Reid's 2 match suspension for bump on Fye.

Ā 

Edit:Ā  Fox are reporting that Geelong have accepted Rohan's 2 week suspension.Ā  Wise.

What a joke the AFL administration (or maladministration) have become.

Make up rules on the run, then allow a favourite to play whilst suspended. Ā (Remind me, what is SHockings team affiliation?)

High farce.

I believe this week was still in the pre-season for VFL so it doesn't get registered as an official game. Shouldn't be able to play after this week.

I don't think this is favouritism, just a little stroke of luck for Danger.Ā 

EDIT Just to add, I don't agree with it. If you're suspended it should be suspended from playing any competitive footy.

Reid accepts his two week suspension reid-accepts-suspension

An interesting bit of info:Ā  ā€œOnce the incident was classified as a bump rather than a brace, our advice was that there were limited options for us to challenge the suspension successfully".

As long as the MRP is consistent (yeah, I know, it is unlikely) clubs know the rules and less likely to challenge suspensions which result in concussion.Ā

not so....the vfl season doesn't start for 3 more weekends, so he could play inter-club practice matches the next 2 weekendsĀ

**** really? Why are they starting so late? Ok I’m flipping completely for a couple of reasons, first off it’s a really bad look for a player with a 3 game suspension still able to be out on a footy field, secondly it’s plainly unfair to the rest of the competition that players suspended now are given that opportunity to maintain match fitness while players suspended later have to sit on the sidelines.Ā 

Rule needs to change, does not pass the sniff test.Ā

no idea why they start so late

the vfl (or whatever they call is SE Aust) seems a shambles this year. not only start late but like other years will have bye rounds because of odd number teams. there are standalone and afl-linked clubs. How they will handle travel and covid with low budgets is anyone's guess. As well they are playing modified experimental rules (e.g. dynamic zones at ball-ups)

hardly a professional second tier suitable for developing afl list players

AFL under Gil and SHocking only seem interested in the 'elite' grade .... however, supporting at very least the 'seconds' is surely an integral part of maintaining quality at the top level.

How to tell if a particular league or competition is worthy of notice or attention: is there a clause in your employment contract linking bonuses to TV ratings of that competition? No = it's not worthy.

Good to see the boys stand up and fight for the win last night. Hope they split the fines amongst the groupĀ 


A thought on most of our minds, I'd say:

For Careless contact (at LEAST!), HIGH impact (at LEAST!), High contact (irrefutably!), Hawkins gets...what?

Did Caleb Daniel not get weeks for his pile driveĀ Ā of a players head into the ground? Most dangerous tackle so far this year. If he escaped it is unbelievable.

He got one week.

Totally agree with you on the danger of his tackle, one of those classic cases where the fact the player wasn’t injured got him a pass. For me that’s more dangerous than any of the concussion related tackles I’ve seen including Nibbler’s. Could’ve broken the guys neck.Ā 

As for Nev, that is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve everĀ seen. Genuinely think we should consider appealing, I’m not sure there was much else he could do to mitigate the impact and he didn’t slam him into the ground.Ā 

I mean Nev gets done for that, and Hawkins gets nothing. I’m not saying Hawkins should get suspended but if we’re looking at severity of incidents Nev’s was barely worth a free kick.Ā 


Keeping it personal for our Number 1. He gets 1 week for the practice match tackle in his debut year down at Casey. No one injured, significant debate about the MRP...... In May 2021, May hospitalised with a fractured eye socket to miss 4 weeks due to elbow contact, accidental or not. No 26 (with 7 citations in 5 years - thanks Titus), gets the benefit of the doubt! My god, Gill’s organisation is corrupt.....or have I missed something???

Bent elbow, deliberate, form, sore looser, self righteous repentant, shifty....

not all in the team, mind yu..

Just disgraceful.Ā Typical AFL.Ā Rules for some Rules for others.

Of those cited:Ā Ā 2 striking charges for a total of 2 weeks,Ā  2 striking charges for total fines of $3500,Ā Ā 2 rough conduct & a tripping charge for total fines of $5000 and not one injury orĀ blood split.

Hawkins throws a reckless elbow andĀ fractures a players eye socket and not even a discussion. Might be a different story if he had hit him in the temple.Ā Ā Ā I wonder??

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
