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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
