When did this happen in the game? Would love to see footage if any.

Don't know tbh, this is kicking around on social media atm.

Best guess is a photographer picked it up but not a tv camera.

    Brilliant.

    And here is the footy news " nothing to see here".

    The official Christian explanation is that The West Coast player actually had his arm behind the Melbourne players neck. He sees what he wants.

    Red leg - even if he didn’t say he would still be an 1diot.  And a bizarre one at that.

    A picture can always tell a thousand words. It's easy to make assumptions from a single click of a picture 

    I'd rather see video evidence in full motion before casting a judgement.

    You mean sees what he is told to see - by the commentariat and  without doubt AFL HQ.

    That's what it looks like to me, too.

    You can clearly see the top of Sparrow's jumper and his throat.  Nothing to get upset about here, folks.

    The official Match Pre-Review Officer, Brian Taylor, believed there was no case to answer. So under the protocols in place, the MRO was not required to do anything.

  • Quote

    If it's under his neck, the Weagle has one hell of a long bendy forearm.

    If it's over his neck, Sparrow's has a neck with the thickness of a shoelace.

    Some optical illusion at work. We'll have to let it go and be content with the 4 points.

    If Jack Viney got rubbed out because his action wasn't a good look for the game, how does this "look" any different?

    You need to see video. A single shot doesn't tell us anything, other than to check the video. It may have been an instantaneous positioning of the arm with no intended force. Or, apparently, the arm could have been behind the neck.

    We just want consistency. Not too hard really.

    I agree with this.

    Viney got slammed for the how long his arm was on Collins' throat.

    You can't clearly see anything from that photo, certainly not any more "clearly" than whatever was visible in the Viney footage.

    Be that as it may, without video footage it's hard to compare the two.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
