I hope any spoil that goes high against us on the weekend, that Melbourne supporters kick and scream for a report.

    Bypass the appeals board, they’re on the afl take and take it straight to the Supreme Court. Then sue the AFL for gross incompetence.

    Spare a quick thought for the kid. A handful of games, now walks away from the tribunal thinking he’s done something wrong. They obviously didn’t believe a word he said otherwise he’d be playing this week. 
    I hope this doesn’t change the way JVR plays. 
    A very disappointing decision.

    This won’t change the game forever   Just using jvr as an example  to show how concerned the corporation is. No one else will get pinger for such a spoil.

    If it were another player from another team he would have got off. 

    Absolute joke. 

    We should appeal further again.

    Gleeson states they believe his intention is to spoil the ball.

    Then he's allowed to contest the ball as per their rules, how is this not a massive contradiction. Surely we appeal again.

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

    Unfortunately we are still on AFL welfare. Suspect we will get told to wear it or there could be ramifications. 
     

    As soon as the Geelong guy went down I thought the Van was in trouble. Suspect the tribunal has been worded up to back the MRO after a succession of tribunal hearings overturning the MRO.

    The club must surely appeal again. Van Rooyen's only intent, as clearly shown in the video evidence, was to execute a spoil.  To suggest he committed a reportable offence is laughable. Even for the ever-inconsistent tribunal, this must surely be one of the most bizarre decisions ever made.

    I am completely shocked at this - I really thought JVR had nothing to answer for let alone be rubbed out for two weeks

    Concerning because it could absolutely change the way he played.

    Remember Brad Miller? Was never the same player that showed showed so much promise as an aggressive CHF after he got rubbed out a few times.

    This is where we say as a club enough is enough..

    Yes...go Ballistic.  Throw everything and the sink back at this joke of an organisation.. An organisation by the way that is there to do our bidding not the other way around. Time to pull on the big pants and remind these clowns just who the F we are...and who they are.....our employees!!

    Time to wake up this comp .

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
