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.

    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.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
