Is apparent bravery a way to now get away with obvious front on contact?  Happened numerous times against Frittata on Thursday and Tarrant just then got away with one.

Definitely a shift in interpretation...and 'amazingly' the commentators are in synch with it 🤷‍♀️

Multiple weeks for Stewart 

Has to be four week. Prestia out this week and next week, elbow to the head. Was knocked out on the ground by an elbow after the ball went well by. Didn’t need to do anything. If the AFL is serious you have to rub him out for twice what he cost the guy playing the ball.

Stewart deserves four weeks for that! Horrific 

No way he plays against us in 2 weeks.  I dont dislike him but that was bad.  3-4 surely

That’s exactly what should happen but the sceptic in me says he’ll get one week - just enough time to freshen up before we play them the following week….

Agree. He’s a great, and usually fair, player - but that was everything we’ve been told the AFL wants to get out of the game.

Thought it was a shoulder. Will have a look again, but agree it is multiple weeks, as far worse than the Chandler tackle of a player with the ball, who got 2 as a result of concussion.

You’re right. Just saw it and it was a shoulder braced to hit him flush in the head. It’s really, really bad.

Replay was just on @Redleg.. i didn't see it...but blimey... some would call it an 'average act' as Garry just called it...others would call it something else.

Agreed, should have been a free against Lyons when he was injured the other night.

And Stewart IN and us still belting them, would be even bigger.

Let's not kid ourselves here, he will be IN against us, it's precisely how the AFL works, pure agenda driven tripe.

My outrage about this has nothing to do with our draw. I’m outraged! We all should be outraged! It’s outrageous!

The agenda actually demands weeks, to show they are serious in wanting to avoid head knocks.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
