I agree with this.

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

 

Was that how long in slo-mo repeat, or how long in real time? (which I estimate as somewhere between 4 and 5 seconds)

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

    It's not conclusive

    I can’t help but think part of the “slamming” was his feeble and frankly dishonest defence. 
     

    "It was more a show of defence. I didn't want to get rolled over and him be on top of me. that was the position I was pulled into and that was where my strength was."

    I’m a bit perplexed as to how the club green-lit this before he offered it to the tribunal.

    Real time.
    Too long.

    I see Anderson is representing Toby Greene in his appeal.

    Expect it to be upgraded to a 6 week suspension. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Can't see exactly what happens, but it's at least as long as Viney's.

    Staggered this has been swept under the carpet. Is something only a 'bad look' if it's shown on repeat by channel 7?

    I'm impressed. Not just that you found the event when most of it is cut off at the bottom of the screen, but also the quality of that still photo which must have been taken from the other side of the ground.

    I guess it can't be a bad look if you can't see it properly therefore no case to answer

    The photos show us what happened. The video shows for how long.

    The AFL should get all the photos from the photographer's camera as surely he snapped a whole series of them. They could be played like a flip book animation as evidence.

    Yep, pretty clearly not under his neck as has been suggested.

    I also like the mental image of them rolling through the pages of a flick book in the hearing... 😆

    He gets away with it simply because there isn't the same consistent footage that Viney had against him, those photo's show that it definitely wasn't below the neck (if that's been the excuse thrown around).

    At least the so-called Tribunal has dismissed the Greene bulldust appeal. He should have been rubbed out for 2, as should have Selwood. And how the hell was the West Coast man able to get away with throating Sparrow?

    One photo here shows bad optics and gross misconduct, the other shows nothing to see.

    This club frustrates me. Just heard Lungmuir sticking up for Brayshaw saying he’s not happy with the consistency and yet there is nothing being done that I’m aware of to bring any exposure this. Nothing.

    You want our club to get in the media and pot Yeo?

    Have you ever seen a club mount a campaign against a player from another club?

    Meanwhile Greene getting a week just tops off the shambles that is the MRO/Tribunal system.

    • Dangerfield in the 2020 GF - not suspended
    • Astbury in Round 1 - not suspended
    • Daniher in Round 1 - not suspended
    • Hawkins on May - not suspended
    • Fritsch vs North - not suspended
    • Shuey on Mills - not suspended
    • Buddy Franklin - not suspended
    • Greene - suspended for a week

    If your argument against Greene is "if you're going to raise your arm/elbow you suffer the consequences if you hit someone in the head", all of the above players should have received a week.

    Don't tell me "oh but some of those guys were fined". If you want evidence that fines don't operate as deterrent, look no further than Selwood, who has been fined three times already this year.

    Can be back channeled but ultimately the question on the non call has to be asked. This is more to bring into the spotlight the inconsistency and utter failure of Christiansen and the tribunal process. I know we don’t have the video evidence but from what I have seen the incidents appear to be very similar in nature. Yeo doesn’t get sited whilst people were asking for 6 weeks against Viney. Where are those same people? 
     

    I watched  the Gus n Gawn vodcast today and Brayshaw was visibly irritated at this situation. Obviously he is bound by the players code but I believe the players were quite frustrated with it. 
     

    Someone like Tom Morris should be all over this.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      The Demons return home to the MCG in search of their first win for the 2025 Premiership season when they take on the Fremantle Dockers on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
