    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
