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.

    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. 

    Barassi v Squealer Dean

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
