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.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
