How in earth does McKay get off on that late hit. It is ridiculous, farcical and a completely inconsistent with what we have seen in the past.

But are we surprised…. not  one bit. Protected club. 

He wears old dark navy blue. Just pathetic.

    The AFL tribunal is a joke. Carlton argued that McKay was trying to ‘push’ - but with 2 elbows up that hit him clear in the head.

    It’s like the tribunal is so at pains to declare its independence from the AFL that it deliberately flies in the face of what the league claims it’s trying to do.

    Protect the head - but run at a guy with both elbows up and hit him in the face, that’s fine.

    Rohan gets 1 week and Day gets 2 weeks for dangerous tackles. I thought Rohan’s looked worse.

    agree. maybe it was because the hawk just bounced back up straight away

    still the potential for serious damage looked worse in rohan's case

    so what is it afl?, the lucky outcome or the potential for head injury - no consistency

    I rewatched the incident. McKay wasn't even trying to smother. The ball is kicked very low, why did he immediately go to the head?? Makes no sense at all the decision of the MRO.

    fair enough 

    the way i see the potential rule (trying to apply logic) is there must be sufficient speed or impact involved that there is potential for a worse outcome. like the kozzi incident. i don’t see that in the mackay incident 

    Looks like you were right.

    Beat me to it Gtg. And whilst we’re at it, how did Will Day get two weeks and the other bloke (forget name) got one. Looked identical

    the impact was clearly low imo. the MRO should have judged it as such and given a fine to avoid the circus

    hope the AFL get sued out of business with the concussion issue then we can go back to the beginning and start again.

    A football league by the people, for the people

    And the legal wording in the arrangement will make sure no individual can be held accountable.

    Slightly off topic but reported today that Dillon, favourite for McLaughlin's position, has Demetriou as a mentor

    The game is in the hands of people who want to make money above everything else

    In my opinion

    About the 3rd time they have spent  millions on consultants who nominate the 2nd in charge for the top job. Farcical.

    Whately summed up the McKay finding as follows: I have never heard such mumbo jumbo in my life.

    I have, in the Cripps Appeal last year.

    No way, we had Terlich and Matt Jones up the top of our best and fairest.

    Top 6 in 2013 Best and Fairest. Good honest triers, but a far cry from our current list which is stacked with A graders.

    A Carlton fan tried to tell me last night that the MRO is too busy protecting themselves against future CTE cases..

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
