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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
