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: 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?
