Bontempelli hit on Oliver and Daniel tackle on Gawn: both reportable for mine.
Bontempelli - 1 week; Daniel a fine at least.

MRO: nothing to see here - laughable.

    Sorry 100% disagree with the Daniel tackle

    Bont 100% agree basically AFL tried to stamp this out a few years ago but only pick and choose when to enforce it.

    Grand final or round 1, you have to protect the head. Remember Troy Simmonds? Bont should get at least a week for that. Hit Clarry in the neck at best. Dangerous, negligent, can't be allowed to happen

    Gawn wore a nice bump on his head after that sling tackle, but i think he made a bit of a goose of himself and exaggerated the fall to get the free.

    Bont should have been reported for that hit. Oliver was over the ball and vulnerable and he elected to bump. No other way of looking at it.

    Im hoping Christiansen's is removed as he has been far too inconsistent. The AFL (Scott) need to fix up the gaping holes in the MRO grading system - it is reprehensible. Outcome vs Intent - i dont really care which way we go but select one and tell the footy loving public.

    Nothing in em. 
    Like Trac said, come on Max. 
    Bont was lucky it wasn’t  a bit worse. Should’ve made it worse, if he really went through him they probably win.

    I don't see why reportable offences should be overlooked just because we won.   Seemed clear to me that #4 hit his neck, not his shoulder and no question he intended to bump.  I wonder what those downplaying this would say if Clarry couldn't play on and we lost the match.

    As for Gawn, the players may well be mocking him - who could resist?, but I can't see how anyone could bang their head into the ground like he did just to play things up. His head clealry moved too fast into the ground.  Maybe his arms waved about unnecessarily, but look at the replay. Where did the momentum for his head hitting the ground come from other than from the tackle?

    I'm too afraid to mention the 1st quarter Demon player closed fist  to the face of a Bulldogs player in a tackle. So I wont.

    They were both found guilty of playing for the second best team and have to live with that forever.

    Agree with you on this. His head literally bounced off the ground.

    I’m more interested in why 7’s offical Twitter account quickly deleted the footage of the shnoz’s hit on Oliver after putting it up.

    Mention the Bulldogs player so I can know if it was worth it.

    I was a little surprised that Gawn didn't get a free as the tackle was over the boundary line, but I think that in the wrap up, their humiliation is punishment enough. 

  • Quote

    I agree that Gawny exaggerated the momentum of the tackle a bit, and then hit his head as kind of an instant karma. Then, Caleb was a bit of an aggressive goose in response to Gawn's overacting goose, and then the Melbourne Demons showed no mercy from that point on.

    The Bont v. Oliver one wasn't great. I think it's borderline fine/1 week suspension, for mine. But maybe in a GF it gets under the radar. I think the Trac v. Bont one is in the same category. Borderline, but both should get off without further issues.

    Yeah, I saw that and thought he may get pinged for it.

    Bont gets at least a fine in the regular season but who cares.

    Caleb is still 5 foot 7. On a good day.

    No issue with the Daniel tackle. Come on guys.

    But I have an issue with the Bont bump. He chooses to bump and contacts the head. How many times has the AFL said the head is sacrosanct, and that if you choose to bump and make high contact, you're in trouble?

    It shouldn't matter that it's the GF and the season's over.

    I'd agree if he'd hit his head. But didn't he collide with the shoulder? I appreciate Oliver appeared momentarily stunned, so perhaps there was some contact, but having seen it a few times, I'm comfortable with there being no penalty.

    What suprises me with the Daniel tackle on Gawn was that no free kick was paid. It shouldn't matter that the ball is out of play. Again, though, I don't think there was enough in it for the MRO. However, the Western Australian equivalent of Worksafe should look at whether its a safe workplace if the artificial turf is on top of a hard surface. It's very close to the real turf and one day someone could be very badly hurt from a hard landing.

    Have a look at the replay and watch Bont - no eyes on the ball - he is lining Oliver up.

    Agreed

    1 or 2 weeks (normally) but double that because it's a GF

    As you said, he lined up Oliver with intent and there was contact to the head.  The AFL can't even uphold their own rules

    And according to the rules it's a no-brainer ... a suspension of some sort should have followed

    Daniel tackle should have been a free. It was dangerous and out of play. I completely reject the assertion that Gawn hammed it up. The logical inference is that he hit his head on the astroturf hard enough to take skin off on purpose. Okay then 👍 but like I said, just a missed free.

    Are you kidding CYB? I was concerned Max might have been concussed. Besides that, Danial's action happened AFTER  both were over the boundary line. It was unduly rough behavior and was worth at least two weeks. Daniel is very lucky Max got up. People are saying how great it was Max said Dogga should take the ruck for the rest of the quarter. How about Max being stunned and having to recover from having his head swung onto the artificial surface, not even the grass, and having to spend time on the bench to recover? .

    Come on, DE. Daniel's sling tackle on Max was extremely dangerous, besides them both being over the effing boundary line!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
