    How is this not regarded in the same way? Serious question. K

    Nothing in it but the MRP is a circus so he'll get 2 weeks

    Some are saying he didn’t have eyes on the ball as justification for suspension. Well he did but shifted focus at last second on where ball was going as it was coming down steeply. Looks like he clipped Ballard head with the tip of his shoulder or missed on the spoil follow through. Purely accidental buts that’s 2-3 weeks for an MFC player

    It’s a [censored] football action. It was in play and his intention was to spoil. For goodness sake why was Ballard even allowed back on when he already copped a head knock earlier? 
    Absolute joke if he gets suspended. Which means he will undoubtedly get 3 weeks 

    If he wore a Geelong jumper it would be play on 😡

    It was nothing and he didn’t have concussion so I would be shocked if he gets any suspension. The blame should be placed on suns’ medical staff for sending a player back on the field who had already been banged up earlier and shouldn’t have been playing.

    C'mon mate, you really suggesting that this actually should be looked at? Look at it from a vision point of view and not just a picture. This high tackles happen 10 times every single game. If Chol got weeks for this then shut the whole joint up for good because the game would be cooked.

    Just remember one got stretched off on a stretcher and one got caught a high tackle and played out the game with absolutely zero issues.

    certainly a week or two. hopefully just one. go for a spoil, miss and knock a bloke out, in front on contact and you’re done. 

    not saying i agree, just guessing what will happen

    Didn't he pass a concussion test?

    Trial by media. The next TV contract will include a Judge Judy style tribunal to be followed by Lyon, Browne and Buckley discussing the fall out on On the Bench.

    Underside of his upper arm connects,  as his fist is trying to connect with ball.

    Jonathan Brown has said a suspension would be the worst tribunal decision ever. Pretty strong.

    The notion of taking your eyes off the ball is a joke. He was 10m away when he looked to see where the player was. He then tried to connect with the footy. If taking your eye off the ball is the trigger for suspension- how far back can you go? 20m? 50m?

    Yep.

    Think he has a right time to actually glance first to see who was ahead of him..

    Pretty simple, MFC player, automatic 4 weeks down to 3 with early plea.

    Apparently the ABC's Coronation coverage was suggesting Bowie would go for 6 weeks for headbutting... but other than that, didn't hear about it... 🤷‍♂️

    Agree wholeheartedly. 
     

    Sometimes all you have is the opposition player positioning to gauge your spoil attempt when the ball is coming over the back. 
     

    Did he make him earn it? Of course. It’s part of the friggin game ffs.

    Jono Brown the voice of reason here. Jay Clark can go [censored] himself.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    • 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.
