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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
