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.

    And? That’s still a hit.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
