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

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
