Not the best of looks but I’d be [censored] if he gets time. 
A rough conduct fine?

    He’ll get a week or two and rightly so. He launched himself like an Exocet missile and is extremely lucky that he didn’t do some major damage to Smith. Intent should be punished and the intent there was pretty clear.

    (I won’t be complaining however, if he gets off with a fine)

    Cripps got off and won the Charlie last year. 
     

    Oh how the MRO interpretations turn so quickly.

    Errant but well timed. 😎

    Hoping for a fine.

    Incident occurred when we needed a lift so I’ve go no issue with his intention.

    Thought he was immense tonight.

    Didn't see Franklin's but I can see Pickett getting anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks especially with the current climate of concussion legal actions against the AFL. If he gets off it would be a miracle. Smith playing on helps the cause but the AFL won't like seeing hits like that replayed through the week and will want to send a message that we are serious on potential head injuries.

    I think that was just captured at the right (wrong?) moment - seems it was just part of the push and shove but the pic makes it look like he flushed him on the jaw.

    Similar to Rioli on Rowell last year and he got off 

    Not really. Rioli argued he was contesting the ball. Pickett can’t argue that. 

    In the matrix it should be careless, low, high contact, which is a fine, but the Guidelines allow the MRO to lift the impact rating up where there is potential for harm and I expect that to occur here to raise it to medium, meaning a 1 week suspension.

    But in the current climate I won’t be surprised if he gets high impact and/or intentional, to jack the suspension up further.

    He’s a Melbourne player. Will get 25 to life. Buddy will get a bravery medal.

    3 down to 2 with early plea, throw in another 1 for the hook shot on McCrae.

    3 total, which he should accept imo. Reckless, but he was trying to change the momentum of the game, go hard or go home.

    If he gets more than a week after what Cripps copped last year I'd be disgusted. Franklin threw an elbow. What will he cop. Cripps' opponent got wiped out, Smith got up like nothing happened. Smith has my respect. Tough guy not just a pretty face. Pickett deserves a week. Cripps should a got 3+. At least he got to enjoy the 2 worst feelings at the end of games i reckon he's ever felt playing Footy.

    And the photo of the Cripps incident was so very like Kozzies bump. Feet well off the ground.  PLUS the other player was concussed. Interesting this one..

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
