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?

we can't risk getting sidelined........bigger fish at stake.........eye on the balll........and all that other rah-ha

 

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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
