Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

Corruption reigns??

Yeah but Sydney plays the bummers next week & he always cuts them up. I don't want him to miss even though it was dumb

You beauty! Bombers [censored] the bed when 20 points up is just what I needed. No excuses this time cheats!

Essendon are very rapidly gaining us list wise....

Why didn't you just come out and say what you wanted to say, that they've "gone past us"?

Pity they ended up losing and making your argument sound even dumber.

Hopefully the Giants can hang on, I love watching Whitfield play. 

Would love more seeing him in rednblue

Going into a hub was always going to affect the Bombers. How many times can you get a vaccine shot before it starts to look suss? Obviously had to wind things back a bit.

Not quite sure where to post this - Buddy a pretty hard elbow to the (usually) sacrosanct head =1 week.

How many would, say, May or McDonald get for that?  2-3 would be my guess. 
 

But there is no corruption or even just bias in the MRO rulings, I am sure.

Not at all shocked that Buddy got off. Appears to get a better run at it than most.

Example number 94123 of the MRP system being broken.

An elbow to the head deemed serious enough to be a reportable offence is worthy of a fine, but a perfectly executed run-down tackle results in a two week ban, whilst contesting the football has the AFL sending you directly to the Tribunal.

Utterly, completely, farcically, broken.

I’ve got to admit TA, it’s become a total lottery. 
And on a separate note, what happened to kicking in danger? It appears to no longer be called.

Why Bother to even have a MRP or Tribunal. That Franklin elbow was intensional. 
That is just corrupt 

Franklin has been given the Red Carpet ever since he had to leave Victoria

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
