Thanks. Good point. Same contact

Except this one there was no going at the ball so it's worse.

    Ralph just said on Fox that the Demons will most likely have to argue him down from a 3 week suspension.

    He hasn’t even been reported or cited yet?

    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.

    yes, and i fail to see how that part of the arm could do much damage, esp when glancing

    suspect he was still a bit off from the earlier accidental kozzie hit

    We need the Cripps QC if JVR gets done for this.

    The system has more flaws than the AFL fixture.

    First of all, it’s great that Ballard is ok. The more I watch it the more no case to answer for imo. I can’t see a swinging arm anywhere.

    The Match Review Panel (the TV commentators) have assessed the incident and found the player guilty. The incident will now be referred to the Match Review Officer for sentencing.

    Having lost control of the tribunal, as evidenced by the Cripps farce last year, the AFL have now lost control of their match review process. Evidently they have outsourced it to the TV channels. All Christian has to do is rock up on a Monday morning and have a gander at who's been condemned by the review shows. All incidents pre-highlighted and assessed for him. Ten minutes later, off for an early lunch, leaving the rest of the week free for golf. Easier job ever. 

    How can the AFL allow it to be hijacked and polluted in this way?

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

     

    And don't forget first time to tribunal (e.g. Trengove, Nibbler, etc.). You need to be a marquee AFL identity and serial offender like Franklin, Tom Lynch, etc. to avoid suspension

    If Van Rooyen had kept his eyes on the ball it is likely Ballard would have been much more seriously injured.

    Hate to say it, but Ralphy generally has good mail.

    Trial by media. Always the case with MFC players. Jvr definitely had eyes only for the ball. No intent.  Suns Chol had no interest in the ball just coat hangered Bowey. No media reaction. .... crickets. They'll go after Pickett too.

    Firmly believe it’ll be straight to the tribunal, so starting at 3 weeks

    Lynch was sent to the tribunal and was cleared a few weeks ago. The three weeks isn’t guaranteed.

    True

    But my MFCSS says JVR being ‘made an example of’ is a fait accompli

    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? 

    And he actually DID connect with the ball...

    What and when was the Pickett incident?

    This is the crux of it, Van Rooyen did the right thing to take his eyes off the ball and assess the best way to get near the ball. 
     

    If he ran at the flight of the ball ala Jonathon Brown or Riewoldt in their famous marks, he would have absolutely murdered him

    • 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.
