This is the Aints last chance, so you would hope for Ratts sake they show some fight. 
but it’s hard to see where it comes from

Ratts will be looking for plenty of "scoreboard nourishment"   ... (FFS !!!)

    FOR GOD'S SAKE AFL the last few days all media outlets have sprouted that "Mickey Mouse" stadium's tickets are fully sold out and watching just now there are so many seats empty. Smaller crowds - look at your ticketing system. PATHETIC.

    Saints pressure around the ball really troubling Carlton.  Unfortunately, I don't think they can sustain it for 4 quarters. Their pace is also showing the Blues can be sluggish.

    Hipwood gets off with a fine for intentionally shoving his opponent into the umpire. That intentional act was far worse than lots of intentional in play acts that cause injury due to poor luck and cop suspensions. Absolutely absurd he gets off with a fine. Should have been a suspension.

    Just saw on Fox this incident has now been sent to the tribunal.

     

     

    Under the Tribunal Guidelines, he could be charged with Carless Contact with an Umpire:

    "A Player may also be charged with the offence of Careless Contact with an 
    Umpire by pushing or holding an opponent into an Umpire or their direct path. 
    A charge of Careless Contact with an Umpire will be subject to a fixed financial sanction.    "

    I'm guessing that was the original line of thinking.

    It is possible they are charging him with serious misconduct instead:

    "Misconduct has a wide meaning and generally is any conduct which would be reasonably regarded as unacceptable or unsportsmanlike or where it had the effect or potential to prejudice the reputation of any person, club or the AFL or to bring the game of football into disrepute.

    Acts of Serious Misconduct will be referred directly to the Tribunal."

    However they don't actually need to specify the offence, and are allowed to amend the offence whenever they'd like, and also:

    "In addition to the Direct Tribunal Offences referred to in section 3.2, the MRO or the Executive General Manager Football Operations may in their absolute discretion having regard to all the circumstances refer a notice of charge to the Tribunal for determination (see Regulation 16.12(i)(vi)(A)).

    In such circumstances the Player will not have the option of an early plea however the Tribunal may favourably consider a Player’s guilty plea.

    The MRO may refer a matter to the Tribunal under Regulation 16.12(i)(vi)(A) where, for example, it is not able to determine a matter based on the evidence before it. It is noted that the MRO has investigative powers for the purpose of ensuring so far as is possible and regardless of the apparent conclusiveness or otherwise of any video, that the MRO can still classify offences, as it sees fit.

    The MRO may also refer a matter to the Tribunal if it considers it appropriate to do so based on the circumstances of the offence, the record of any Player involved (particularly for similar previous offences), any suspected mitigatingf actors or other unusual features of any report."

     

    For those who are interested, here are the 2022 tribunal guidelines:

    Ryder is all class. Great player still

    As good or bad the Saints can be for any given game, they will struggle to win a final without Ryder. All the talk about King, Hill etc... but Ryder is their most important player by a long, long way.

    Umps have gone their way all year and being the media hype team has brought the horrendous arrogance of the 90s back. As bad as Essendon.

    No team is that bad.

    Daisy Pearce puts every commentator to shame.  Her football IQ is Stephen Hawking-like.

    Still nothing on the MFC or the AFL website about Luke's absence or a replacement.

    Where did the Mitch Brown news come from?    IF he is in surely Tommo would have to be the Medical sub at least.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
