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.

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
