The only positive I take out of this is that it gives Viney a break to freshen up before finals especially with his lingering foot problems.

Will be cherry ripe and hungry for finals.

And still make the same mistakes aka taking every opponent on, trying to beat tackle after tackle. Nothing will change from that viewpiont Dazzle!

    And it always seems to be one of ours, JT, JV, ANB, to us dee supporters anyway ?

    You forgot Beamer, who got 2 weeks, for no contact at all with a Cats player.

    Every new, weird decision, does seem to involve us.

    This is the very reason why once upon a time, TV & radio were not permitted to show/talk about reported incidents.

    But of course, the mighty money making machine, ie TV, has decreed that we even get to hear the umpires blathering to the players. So of course we see every incident over and over, from every angle, and the "expert" commentators, usually undistinguished by any "expertise" one would suppose was lent them by their on-field experience, crap on and on, free from any restraint, self discipline, or independence from club allegiances.

    Not to mention the umpires never report anyone anyway, having been neutered by a succession of umpires directors, in turn compromised by their buy-in to the AFL concept of rule "interpretations" and umpiring "to keep the game flowing".

    Does all the extra vision & microphones add to the viewing experience?

    Not to me. (I watch with the sound off anyway.) I prefer the old system.

    Good post. But you forgot to point out that the expert and not-so-expert commentators seem to go out of their way to say that the very program they are on "probably" should not be re-showing or referring to the incident and then continue to talk about it ad nauseum.

    It’s easy to whack a miscreant player biggly if his team is out of finals contention. Imagine the hoops the AFL would have leaped through to minimise his punishment if he played for Geelong or Bulldogs.

    Good to have him out for us! Smart cat, that one.

    Well, football smarts perhaps.
    Life skills are clearly not his forte.

    Wonder if/when AFL Players' Association president Patrick Dangerfield will have anything to say about the Dangerfield matter.

    Like you needed another reason to consolidate the wildly held opinion that Walker is a moron and a scumbag.

    Not if precedents have been set. Like with umpiring you want consistency and fairness. It was convenient to finally make a statement on elbows now that a smaller club was involved

    Wow! How true! What a disclosure that couldn't (eventually) be hidden/closeted. What will be the next one?

    How many weeks for Toby Greene! 

    JV didn’t even leave a dent, Danger is out for 3/4 a match!

    Greene will cop nothing, as will Selwood for his head bump. Sailor Vee, as they say in the Navy. ( Then again, I felt a sense of satisfaction that two of the biggest thugs in the business - Dangerfield and Greene - were the main actors in this little scenario of the pot and the black kettle. )

    I thought that Dangerfield slipped at the last moment and that Greene's fend-off would otherwise have contacted him in the chest.  Not guilty in my opinion, but I stopped trying to predict the Tribunal's decisions a long time ago.

    Toby should be safe.

    Commentators so keen to condemn him they failed to notice that Danger started to squat to tackle but his left leg slides out from under him.  Had he not slid the elbow/arm would have got Danger in the chest.  

    Also Fritsch got off on something similar (the forearm).  The Tribunal set a precedent in the recent Buddy case of accepting similar incidents as evidence so they will have to accept the Fritsch decision.

    The Green/Dangerfield incident is almost identical to the Fritsch incident without the damage. Player going low for the ball, tackler coming in hard and low at same time. Both were reaction incidents. To me Green should get off as incident appears accidental and unavoidable.


    Selwood on the other hand exhibited a classic run past the ball, chose to bump a player bending down for the ball and hit him squarely on the side of head. This is the kind of premeditated incident that has caused numerous concussions and the AFL have punished severely to stop them happening. In this case he should rightfully be suspended. He did everything wrong expect hurt Taylor but as well included  the bad “optics” that sunk Viney for 2 weeks. Selwood deserves the same. For the sake of the integrity of the rules Selwood should not get away with it because he didn’t cause serious damage.

    Has this been officially announced Billy, or is it just your prediction?

    edit:  It's official.  Is anybody surprised?

    The protect the head notion is laughable. 
     

    A millimeter either way….

    Selwood had choices and he chose to bump…how often do we need to hear this before a “star” gets cited.

    I’m not one that thinks the MFC gets a horrendous trot ( I think stars get off) but this is so clear cut.

    it’s shameful

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
