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. 

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
