I reckon we could come up with 30 examples of Cotchin, Hawkins, Cripps and other 'name' players that have gotten off way worse incidents than this.

What a shocking corrupt organisation the AFL is.

    Maybe its time to give notice to the AFL that we'll be handing back our licence and starting a new league based on pre-AFL (butchered) rules.

    Some comedic relief

    The jurors are now coming back from their break, which lasted around 10 minutes.

    I ate my schnitz wrap and chips in 7 minutes and am feeling ill

     

    Lachie Neale is being dialled.

    His number is 04......

     

    Much like my Mum when I actually need to talk to her, Neale is not answering his phone.

    Neale has joined the Tribunal via video link. He is being introduced to everyone. He is introduced to the Tribunal secretary and replies "no worries".

    It’s only because of the stretcher. Even the Suns tried to get him off.

    What a joke.

    The stretcher was simply a precaution as he said he heard a crack

     

    Oh and we get that [censored] Adrian Anderson off our case. Every time he goes near our club he rogers us.

    My gut feeling is what was said earlier by another poster  ... the JVR incident won't be a precedent, it can't be unless they want to cite numerous players every week

    There will be outrage for a time until the next story comes along.  Meanwhile, a kid in his 5th game gets burnt

    But we must appeal, whatever it costs

    Nothing. Easier for the AFL to pick a junior / second year player to send a message to all clubs rather than a high profile player where there’d be far more media interest. Hope the media jumps all over this and not just Slobo

     Jonathan Brown has gone pretty hard on this issue.  Got a somewhat better perspective on the issue than Slobo.

    I reckon we will appeal based off the last line from the article on the website 

    Of course I don’t know what loopholes got closed thanks to Cripps. We may not have a legal avenue to appeal, but surely we can just appeal the stupidity of the reasoning of the tribunal

    Well the logic if it was followed through by umpires and the AFL is we have entered the era of touch footy! On this ruling you can’t initiate contact with a player in possession of the ball in any way as it could result in injury. Of course the AFL will ignore the logic and ignore similar collisions if it involves a high profile player or a big club in finals contention. And in the finals when the game gets really brutal the MRO will be looking the other way. 

    The AFL in this instance have totally [censored] IN THEIR OWN BED

    GOOD LUCK wih that

    Does [censored] really get censored and it's plural not?

    Again dudded by theatrics and [censored] by an other club.    I'm livid

    In fairness the Suns said from the word go, even before that smug dim witted Christian had cited JVR, that their player was NOT INJURED and that the stretcher was a precaution because he felt a crack in his neck.  He will play this week. 
    There is just ZERO LOGIC to these findings.

    @WalkingCivilWar reckon the cheer squad need to put this on the other side of the May 200 game celebration banner.

    “RIP AFL. 1858 - May 9th 2023”

    Suggest we don't mince our words @Demon Disciple.

    RIP Australian Football

    The AFL will continue on their merry way administering some other sport.

    So disillusioned.

    I agree with @Deebymistake… if it wasn’t for how much I love our club I’d give footy away altogether. When something like this happens it really tests your love of the game. Bitterly disappointing. 

    Did I tell you about Anderson, he doesn’t win at the Tribunal generally.

    I am not blaming him of course, as I think he presented a good case.

    There is something more going on here and as I said in another post it is about litigation.

    I would think an Appeal gets up and AFL can say we will do everything possible to protect players.

    How was Fogarty not charged for breaking Murphy‘a nose the week before.

    To me they have once again gone the non big club, non star player and used him as a PR pawn, to show they are actively doing their best to stamp out head injuries.

    I am outraged at this blatant PR manipulation affecting a young innocent kid. The AFL should be ashamed of itself.

    I may boo the AFL at the game this weekend.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
