I cannot recall any incident. 
 

Anyone else?

    Saw it on the replay. It's a bump in the first quarter that slides up and grazes Franklin's chin.

    $3000 fine is a farce. Payback for Fritsch somehow getting off?

    Nope. None at all. AFL in fantasy land again!

    What a joke. So 3k but 2 for early guilty plea. So if he pleads not guilty is there a chance he can get off and only risk 1k?

    Yeah they showed it on the coverage his arm slipped up buddy's oiled up biceps and hit him in the the head.

    Rampe get anything for this incident? extremely dangerous https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/dane-rampes-dangerous-act-against-melbourne-caught-on-camera/news-story/6596bb7545b4d50ff8453b89c9f03191

    Laughable that was pure luck that saved a potential spinal injury. Shocking yet unlike May nothing. Extremely dangerous

    Footage at the start of the game shows Bud getting oiled up like no tomorrow. 
    No wonder the arm hits the upper bicep and slides up. 
    Id challenge that if I was May.

    What about Hawkins work?

    They mentioned it three times on the tv coverage after it happened. I knew he'd at least get a fine because that's the way the tribunal works. The commentators cite the players.

    Just ridiculous. There was nothing in it.

    How much did Hawkins pay for breaking May's eye socket?

    I was asking if may doesn't accept the fine and challenges, but is still found guilty, does he only risk the original 3k fine or do we have to pay another 10 like for the fritch challenge? Hawkins incident is irrelevant to that question I would think.

    Saw it and buddy went down like a lead balloon trying to milk a free which didn’t come. 
     

    I have been hit harder by my 8 yo and stayed upright. 
     

    Absolute joke of a charge.

    Sydney have some absolute Oscar winning players in their side. So many dropped shoulders.

    I thought they played 'on the edge' all night. A bit of hubris which probably comes with the turf.

    Even as a top side, the opponents "make us earn it", with little protection from the umps.

    Teams seem to go after us physically, not accidentally, like May's.  

    I say, good, use that to inspire us, "go to war", "them and us", "no prisoners", get angry and hostile.

    We have become the hunted and need to flex our muscles. 

    Though our best players need some protection. Oliver, Gawn, Langdon, Tmac, wished they try it with Tracc, May or even Sparrow or Sparg's, our bigger bodied players or those that are a bit hot headed. See what happens to the snipers. We have to lose the mantle of a soft team. Imagine an Essedon or Richmond team taking it like us? I just can't. Sometimes being professional isn't worth it, unless the umpires get active.

    Some teams will really try and rattle us. We need to be prepared. 

    Thoughts of having AVB as the med sub and get him on to fix some up,(joking). Aaron will get his chance, through, injuries and his form.

    C'mon MFC admin, become whingers on Monday.

    It was May...

    I'm surprised he didn't get at least 4 weeks for that.

    I mean he got a week in preseason for looking at someone the wrong way.

    Buddy has been reduced to flop and stage to justify his place in the team at $1m a year.

    If nothing happens to Rampe that’s a disgrace.

    Although Fritsch was allowed to be hit behind play so it wouldn’t surprise me.

    The commentators did not go on and on about the Rampe outrage - genuine potential spinal or head injury - nor the Fritsch behind the play hit, so Christian given his limited mental acuity wouldn’t even look at it.

    He relies on the media to tell him who to cite.

    This dead-set infuriates me. May can't look sideways at someone without copping MRO scrutiny. Buddy was oiled up more than the Alaskan coast post-Exxon Valdez. Initial contact was to the arm, not high. Should be treated similarly to when players duck to milk a high tackle - play on!

    Maybe for the players own good it's time to ban oil on the arms...

    You can see May's arm slip up on the oil.

    How often do we see an oiled up Selwood slip a tackle, he puts gallons of that stuff on before and during a game.

    For someone who doesn't have a rock hard scone like him it's dangerous letting the tackle slip up to the neck or higher.

    Duty of care may well see oil go, at least on the arms and shoulders.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
