    The only adjustment I am interested in is having the MRP make consistent decisions, regardless of who the player is or what club they play for.... AKA don't let a big name player off the hook but give Chandler 3 weeks ban for the exact same action.

    I think you posted this in the wrong thread.

    The Appeal process was a joke last year. The MRO became completely useless as it handed down whatever BS decision, then it was always appealed and then appealed again if the AFL still not happy

    Just make a decent decision to start with and stick to it FFS

    Different actions but your point is well made.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the heaviest penalties for these types of tackling offence all belong to the Dees, with ANB 4 weeks in a 17 week season for a sling, Jack Trengove 4 weeks for a sling and Chandler 2 or 3 for a driving forward tackle. None of those players had a previous tribunal record.

    We also hold a record for the only player ever suspended for striking, who never made any contact whatsoever with the victim, that was of course  Brent Moloney.

    And don’t forget Alen Jakovic the only player ever suspended for wrestling.

    The Cripps decision was insane. The trouble is, in future years, he will be recorded as the winner of the Brownlow medal, people will forget about the fact that he should have been disqualified, and it’s a medal he should never have won.

    I don’t recall the Brent Moloney issue - is there any link to film of it?

    The Cripps fiasco should rename the 22 award to DOWNLOW!

    'The Cripps Rule'

    Everyone involved in that debacle should have been suspended themselves.

    Bartel hit his head on the ground as he stumbled. The Geelong midfielder was carried from the ground on a stretcher, suffering concussion.

    Melbourne did not accept the preliminary finding and took the case to the tribunal, contesting the medium-impact and high-contact charges. The tribunal upheld the suspension.

    The club had until midday today to launch an appeal, but did not. Melbourne did, however, indicate it was not satisfied with Moloney's suspension.

    "Melbourne will be seeking further clarity of the rule surrounding the charge of rough conduct," a statement from Demons media manager Leigh Newton said.

    Demons coach Neale Daniher voiced his disappointment with the tribunal's decision before his club's training session at the MCG this morning.

    "They (the tribunal) termed it medium-contact (to Bartel) ... the evidence we put showed there was no contact to the head at all. It was just a slight brush to the shoulder," Daniher said.

    "It's on public record that we thought that James (Bartel) sustained his injury when he hit his head on the ground, so from that point of view we were disappointed that the tribunal didn't see it our way."

    AFL whilst in this mood for restoring principal and prestige. Should amend the brownlow as being awarded  to ‘Best Farce’ rather than Best and Fairest in the competition.

    Absolute garbage that Cripps got off on a technicality and then went on to win a Brownlow.

    I'm glad their now looking at keeping the Philadelphia lawyers out of the tribunal system.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
