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

    Duty of care. Where was it when a player kicked the ball off the ground breaking another player’s finger?  

    Miss spoiling the ball by 0.8 of a second and they are suggesting you were going for the man.

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 Charge should be withdrawn. 

    I think it’s the correct spelling and pronunciation of his name.

    Just BTW friends - do not be too concerned if deliberations take some time. Does not necessarily mean difficulty arriving at a decision. May mean Tribunal members determined a verdict in 30 seconds and are having a scotch to assist the 'optics'.

    Yep, there's a lot of kick in danger that is never paid.

    so the spoil is legal unless you allegedly take your eyes off the ball for 0.8 of a second

    As Mr Bumble said.. the law is an [censored]

    Where was duty of care when Hawkins threw and elbow back into Mays eye socket, With such force it broken his eye socket bone. Seriously? They have no idea how to apply civil law principles to a sport. It’s just plain dumb, if I tackle someone, is it reasonably foreseeable that they might get injured? Absolutely? Do I breach a duty of care? No, because the act is permitted in the sport. Is the spoil permitted - yes! There is no question that was his intent. So is it within rules, yes! It’s the biggest jog on case of all time! And that’s not hyperbole. It wasn’t even careless. It was a play on the ball.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
