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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
