I hate Adrian Anderson for initiating the tanking investigation but he’s making a good case. 

I couldn't quite figure out why Angry was looming large from my sub-conscious to my consciousness tonight @Fat Tony. Now you've just traumatized me.

    Didn’t Adrian Anderson get Fritsch off in 2021?

    You do know that Anderson has lost most of his Tribunal appearances.

    He was also the bloke that started the Tanking investigation against us.

    Problem is you're dealing with shifty bloody afl smart-arses. All they want to do is justify their coin, remind minions of their position. 

    The questioning is designed to trap

    They are ( insert derogatory term of preference) x 10

    Even Dennis Denuto would have a hard time in the farce that is the AFL tribunal system. It's the vibe.

    When i saw we had Adrian Anderson on board I thought great the dees are throwing everything at this appeal.

    Good to see.

    JVR has covered himself in glory with his responses tonight. Well done young man.

    Semantics! No injury, incidental contact in play. What semantics? Charge should be withdrawn.

    It makes me wild when the AFL bang on about the duty of care. It’s 44 blokes running around full tilt trying to compete and win the ball, yet they speak like he’s a manager of a company deciding to skimp on the PPE.

    Get the lawyers out of the process. Their litigation is ridiculous. 
     

    Resolve cases via 3 reps who have actually played the game.

    No biggy. I change my fave person in the world more often than you change your socks. (Hadda clean that one up. The word rhymes with socks but aren’t worn on your feet. Well, they can be, buts that’s just weird.) 🤭

    The real question is what are the optics and can the AFL live with a "not guilty" whatever the actual facts are. 

    Player A, runs into player B who goes off on a stretcher. Bad optics...AFL want to look good. Money, advertising etc.

    Just said the same to a mate. They are trying to apply civil law principles to a contact sport. There is a voluntary assumption of risk that comes with plying this game. The duty of care argument is a bunch of bulldust. You could argue that the duty of care is breached in every tackle. The aim of the act is to physically challenge an opponent. It’s just outrageous

    Interesting, they wanted a downgrade to medium, but it’s almost like they’re pushing that it was now incidental

    The only want it downgraded if it doesn't get thrown out.

    Facts and justice occasionally overlap @Wells 11.

    What about the optics of punishing players for making legitimate attempts to contest the ball in a contact sport?

    Him not getting off would have bigger consequences than if the charges are dropped.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
