People don't do things like that in a meaningless game unless they have a reason. 

We all know what it might be...

    …. which could well be the reason that Colonwood have clearly downplayed the event.

    Why did Gaff hit Brayshaw?

    because brayshaw was impeding/holding him? or something else?

    at least it looked like brayshaw was holding. in this case there seems no apparent reason, hence the questioning. i'm not suggesting the r word, just thinking it might have been something we didn't see

    I think it’s really poor form to suggest there was racism involved. If you were Cox, would you be happy with even the suggestion?

    agree ethan, but something happened and colonwood clearly lied for some reason

    i'm not trying to exonerate majak either, just wondering why he did what he did

    Gaff meant to hit him in the chest and missed, was always my take.

    I’m not saying what Daw has done is fine but if someone wants be super critical and throw the book at him then where’s the criticism of Selwood what his blatant high bump? 

    Is this yet again media personal wanting “optics” to dictate the MRO? Smells like an agenda to me.

    If Mason Cox's lawyers find this thread somebody's going to have to restart Demonology.

    Yep, you really can't make that assumption 'Ethan'...agreed.

    ...but it was an unusual incident, maybe payback for something earlier in the game.

    What Grinter did was indefensible.

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

    Actually the incident was in the play. Grinter got Wallace a fraction of a second after Wallace fumbled the ball in front of his face. I suspect Wallace fumbled because he saw Grinter coming.

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

    The tribunal were on to Grinter after several other coat hanger type incidents in preceding games as well as an article in the papers about an unnamed “hit man” around the time.

    What I don’t get is that Tom Morris is a Melbourne man too. Or at least he was a former employee.

    He’s a journalist doing his job so don’t expect any favours. However, his analysis simply doesn’t sound right in light of what we’ve seen in recent weeks at AFL level. Hawkins got off with nothing for what he did on Saturday. Dangerfield and Selwood have both been lucky not to be sanctioned in recent weeks either. At worst, this is a one week suspension.

    He adds mayonnaise to everything, and sets himself up as an expert football commentator. Yes he is a journalist doing his job, you're not wrong, but all the extra sensationalism makes me loathe him.

    Bulltish.

    Ball was in play/dispute. Grinter was about a second too late connecting with the pill.

    As a spectator I was about 30 metres from the incident.

    The TV replays do Grinter no favours.

    Just had a look at the clip on Youtube and you're correct that it was in play.  Nevertheless, it was still a dirty and violent round-arm swipe to the neck/head region.

    That's baffling from Majak. 

    Unless somehow he thought Cox had the ball and it's a tackle gone all wrong - the slips up as Cox dips down - it makes no sense at all.

    Not the right week to have damaged someone's larynx

    That is how I recall the incident - rather like  "clumsy" Hawkins or Mumford wild swing with a bad outcome.

    Is anyone able to show the footage.

    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.

    Very odd indeed.

    Cox can be a bit of a mouth if he thinks he can sledge someone who he thinks he can get away with it with. While Majak has been around ten years, both he and Cox aren’t the type of footballers it comes to instinctually, so maybe he thought that he would get lippy.

    What the contents of that were if it happened, who knows? It seems out of character for Majak to do something like that. 

    Let’s not jump the gun on making allegations, shall we? There is also a possibility that Majak may have simply had a brain snap. It would be odd for a guy from an American basketballing background, one who looked more than uncomfortable when Sam Newman kept trying to get him to wear a MAGA cap on the Footy Show and was Joe Biden’s welcoming committee to not realize the gravity of those types of remarks.

    Hopefully, it all comes out.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
