Majak Daw off-the-ball incident

Just watch him cop 4 weeks for this. Given all the scrutiny on the MRO and Tribunal. They will choose to make another example case of yet again a Melbourne player. 

It certainly isn’t pretty but surely it’s 1 week maximum or a fine. Don’t know where Tom Morris gets off at saying it’s 3-4 weeks. He certainly is a [censored].

    'Season Ending Injury' 🤔

    Did anyone watch the footage? Not much malice in it.

    Would be interesting to see how the AFL deals with this. Collingwood have been ambiguous about the injury to Cox and when it was incurred. Jack Hawkins caused a Saints opponent to be subbed off last week but wasn’t sanctioned.

    On the subject of sanction in the case of a penalty, Daw is currently eligible to play for Melbourne this week so if he’s penalised say, two matches, would this week count?

    They say in the report Majak hit Cox with an elbow but in the video I can only see the arms come across his neck. 
    So it looks like a forearm to the throat.
    Is there another incident other than this one?

    For Majak to do something like that (I'm not excusing his actions) maybe Cox has said something to Majak during the game, he is a trash talker on field.

    As an aside have I missed something? I only found out today that we had a scratch match last week from my wife, a Hawks supporter when she received a full match rundown from the Hawthorn Club site! Nothing from our club site! Been very poor on Comms this year I think.

    That doesn’t look good at all

    whether something was said, who knows. 
     

    bad time of the year to let that one go….

    Change his name to selwood and he get off. Anyway he did wrap his arm around his neck so he is guilty of that.

    Amazingly I've got a cousin who played with Majak.

    I've also got another cousin who was in the same friends circle as Toby Green.

    You should come to our Christmas parties!

    From what I understand Majak is a ripping bloke.Toby might need to work on that a bit.

    Why are people assuming Cox said something? 

    Because I think it’s out of character for Majak to do that especially in a meaningless Scratch match. I think if something offensive was said it will make its way into the public spotlight.

    I guess the AFL have copped some criticism for not acting on well publicised acts so why not kicking a MFC player down?

    It seems the usual thing setting precedents - ANB, Jakovic (only player suspended for wrestling), Trengove v Dangerfield, Viney v Lynch, even Grinter v Wallace.

    The article says Cox sustained a similar injury earlier this year. I’m wondering if his height has anything to do with it (?)

    What Grinter did was indefensible.

    It was a dirty, unprovoked coat-hanger behind the play that caused serious damage to Wallace.

    Tom Morris: “significant incident. Unsavoury incident. 4 weeks”

     

    is this peanut for real? What a witch hunt. I cannot see that being more than one week. No elbow. No punch. Pathetic journalism

    Indefensible or not, it was bread and butter stuff in those AFL days. Grinter's coat hanger was de rigeuer, especially when practiced by many Hawthorn players.

    I was just pointing out that that  was another first for the tribunal (as far as I remember)

    Awful lot of assumptions around here. Doesn't look great no matter how you frame it

    This report has a rather disdainful discriminatory air about it. Body language says more.

    i wonder what provoked majak, looked very strange........and a bit unsavoury with cox not even facing him

    colonwood might have toned down the incident description because they knew something preceded it?

    Grinter was a lot like Rys Jones and Crosswell, undersized and trying to square up which was condoned but undesirable. They were necessarily everywhere from the VFL to Association to Amateurs in the fifties and sixties.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
