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.

    Typical Carltank bending the afl over and over again and again🤑

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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
