If this was a bigger name player would the result be the same?

Wow I thought maybe 1 week but 2 come on.

He didn't even concuss him

AFL 360 are going nuts about it. Gerard and even Robbo cannot believe it

Not watching but can hear Robbo struggling to string together a coherent sentence and for once fully understanding what's going on in his head.

    Wait a minute- was this was just the regular tribunal hearing because we didn't accept the 2 week offer? So is there still scope for an appeal of this decision? Get Cripps's QC on the case.

    Yeah, we can appeal again

    Wow that’s [censored]….

    ANY attempt to spoil where you collect someone high must be deemed two weeks from now on by the AFL logic

    He'll win on appeal.  To uphold this verdict means that any "reasonable" player defending by punching the ball from behind and hitting Max Gawn or any player playing in front in the head, ear, jaw etc will be suspended.  There will be nobody left playing.  Gleeson's premise is absurd.

    Anyone got the AFL Law book handy? What are our options? Injunction at law? Serious.

    As bad as it is for us as a team if we don't appeal again, and hopefully get JvR off then the AFL has just set a ridiculous new precedent that will alter the way the game is played, scary stuff.

    I hope we go to the appeals board. What [censored] clowns sit on that board? More lawyers who have never played football in their life?

    I cannot understand why MFC had Adrian Anderson appear.

    While i believe he is a lawyer and was big in the AFL, surely a bigwig barrister might have been worth it

    Honestly thought this would be a formality because the AFL could not possibly soften the brand in this manner.

    I’m stunned

    Imagine how many players that hit Gawny every week will get rubbed out!

    My guess is none

    Must appeal

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
