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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
