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

edit: me and Demonland: great minds etc… 😁

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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
