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.

    good luck with that. Sadly

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
