This is taking even longer than a goal review after the ball has clearly hit the post or been touched behind the line.

    The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didn’t say he bumped.

    I smell a rat. Why wouldn’t they have simply found he bumped?

    Is this a set up to get him off at the last stop, so it looks like they fought hard to suspend him.

    We will see.

    That rat is getting more smelly.

    We know a fish rots from the head, but it seems that a rat does too.

    What a farce! Don't really care either way but gotta be a big distraction for their club and ultimately the team this whole episode. Can't wait to Smash the pretenders

    A pity this hearing wasn’t on a plane. Cripps would be a certainty to be out with DVT being up in the air for so long

    Just to top things off, Carlton is to get a draft compo pick for a 30 year old retiring rather than be vaccinated under the AFL guidelines.

    Give us a break.

    The longer the deliberations the greater the chance of overturn the result

    Probably at least twice that chook.

    I better start saving for my upcoming vagrancy and public nuisance charges.

    Just wait until the AFL announces an end of first round pick as compo

    Organise a couple of false identities and receive some dud pension or dole money chook.

    It's what the AFL would recommend.

    Ffs, must be looking for an angle to let him off

    This whole process is taking far longer than both the bloody matches he’s missing. What a waste of time and money!

    And would they waste this much time on a no name player in the interest of justice.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
