    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

    A related question might be is there anyone who is not an [censored] on the tribunal?

    Edited by Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
