Geelong are certain favourites. No way GWS win now with the both Green(e)s out and Mumford being propped up Weekend at Bernies style.

That might be the case, and if so I wouldn't mind defeating Geelong three times in one year.

    The last one with Heppell happened on Sunday.  It was in play, he took several steps toward the umpire and must have seen him yet pushed him in the chest and upper arm which were forceful enough to force him back. Went round him only after the umpire had been pushed out of Heppell's path.  Didn't try to pull up.  Didn't look back.  Didn't apologise.  Not even cited by MRO.  

    And before folks pile on, I fully recognise the difference with the Toby incident.  Just surprised the MRO didn't even have it in the 'events reviewed' category and explain why no penalty was appropriate.     

    I saw it at the time and did not for one second think there was anything wrong with it. It is exactly what I would do in a situation in the street with a stranger if I bumped into them without seeing them except I would say "sorry mate didn't see you there".

    Three weeks. There goes GWS finals campaign 

    I reckon the the Geriatrics are still ripe for the picking.  Hopefully Mumford and Hawkins get in a punch up and neither play again.  And Selwood gets concussed by diving too hard.

    For those criticising the AFL, the tribunal is independent. 

    The AFL asked for six weeks 

    I suspect the Tribunal took into account missing a potential PF and GF. Not unreasonable, . In normal circumstances may have been 5 to 6 weeks mid season.

    Plus the cost to GWS and likely loss of potential captaincy.

    Three weeks seems light, but it may have been strategic as a way to avoid a GWS appeal. Imagine if the Tribunal had gone with a 6 week sentence? Then GWS may have decided to appeal. That might have lead to a Not Guilty verdict. I think keeping the sentence on the light side made it harder for GWS to appeal.

    3 weeks. That is a [censored] verdict.

    To be pedantic, the verdict was "guilty". The penalty is three weeks.

    Greene is a cultural cancer. We talk about culture being so paramount in successful clubs. This guy is a captain with all the mental capacity and restraints of a toddler. He is constantly doing the wrong thing and costing his side.

    GWS have basically just lost the semi final thanks to him and his idiotic actions. If Viney or Gawn did that, I would be livid.

    GWS have a spineless coach with all the personality of a lampshade, and a bunch of star players who play like individuals for their big paydays. There is no unity and no team first mentality, and that is personified perfectly by their two leaders. One is in it for the money, the other is in it for Toby.

    Good luck to them.

    On Footy Classified last night they made a point of showing Gawn giving all our players a "high five" (actually a "low five" if that's the correct term, given their hands were all pointing downwards) as they ran onto the ground on Saturday night. It was presented as an example of why he's a good captain.

    I agree too many do take that narrative far too far, especially when things go wrong for their favorite club, but what motivates the AFL is usually pretty clear and it's usually no surprise as to the result.  But in this instance, how independent is the Tribunal?  Who appoints it?  Who are the appointees? What are their careers? What is their reationship to the AFL?  Convince me that the answers indicate real independence.

    To add insult to injury, I assume the airline has just imposed an "Excess Baggage" charge on GWS for carrying Greene to WA.

    Plus fined for "Unnecessary Travel".

    A really great player but his brain fades have really damaged him as a Star and his Club at the most critical of times. I was really shocked when I saw the incident and the look on Jesse Hogans face following the incident confirmed to me the unacceptable nature of the incident. The Giants should impose further sanctions on him so that he actually gets it.!!!!

    The thought of Max and Spargo doing a genuine high five 🙌 is food for thought.

    Gee Geelong shortened a fair bit another the suspension  of Green. Let's hope they at least leave Geelong very sore and hurting after the game.

    Well the Giants have no option but to come out and physically smash the Cats and try to spread and run the oldies off their feet

    Considering he could miss 3 finals including a prelim and GF, the suspension is not insignificant

    equal to 6-8 in the H&A

    Interesting logic.

     

    He offended during a final, so that should be double the standard penalty, yeah?

    Correct verdict, penalty the absolute bare minimum but IMO too light.

    The AFL has a lot of work to do with its MRO/Tribunal process for 2022. Greene, like Selwood, is a brilliant example of why repeated fines do nothing to deter behaviour.

    • 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

      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.
