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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
