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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
