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

    Club needs to come out right now and say “This is a [censored] farce and we are [censored] appealing this”

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
