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.


Yep apparently throwing Langdon on his head is play on.

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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
