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.   

Good get @monoccular. There are few entities emerging from this fiasco with any dignity. The GCS, God bless their souls, are one of a handful. If you had told me a week ago that I'd be bracketing JVR and the Suns inside the same compliment, I would have [censored] myself laughing.

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. 

Just highlighting the obvious flaw in your expectations of the AFL.

One last chant everyone.

The game is Rooooooo-Ted 

 

Adrian Anderson VAB (very average barrister). There are countless Melbourne supporting barristers at the Victorian Bar, including KC's, who would do a better job

Pathetic. The game gets worse every year. The constant rule changes, the inconsistent umpiring, the inconsistent and pathetic MRO and tribunal system, constantly compromised drafts, uncompetitive franchise teams being a money sink. The list goes on. 

I feel sorry for JVR for having to put up with the mistakes made by some detached limpdicked fools in suits. I hope it didn’t effect his confidence and career going forward.

I may boo the AFL at the game this weekend.

Be careful cobber, they will call  you a racist

 

But my stupid humour aside, i agree 100% with what you said

EDIT - clarity

So, we can expect there to be a six oppo players suspended every week for missing the ball and instead smashing Max in the back of the head in a marking contest.

Really, such utter rubbish.

Fox have a stupid segment called "ear massages" where they have dozen of examples every week. 

Chol was unreasonable with possibility to cause serious damage yet not cited. 

They pick and choose.

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

Jonathon Brown, Nick Reiwolt and even Kenny Hunter, back in the day would be banned from the game these days. Going back with the flight into a pack to take a mark is just too dangerous! Where is the duty of care?
 

Oh hold on Jono always kept his eyes on the ball, that would be totally different, that’s safe. I mean if you looked at your opponents before you polaxed them, that’s not upholding your duty of care. 

yes it all makes sense now.

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

RIP AFL. 1858 - May 9th 2023”

If (when? Hopefully when!) we do appeal and JVR finally has the charge dropped might I suggest

"From 6-6-6 and 2-2-0, JVR is good to GO!"

Every year that goes by it’s becoming harder and harder to keep watching AFL, If Hawkins or another big name player did that they would be lauded for bravery for going back with the flight and would never have been sited, the AFL Is a joke 

  • Demonland changed the title to JVR’s 2 Weeks Upheld

I’m comforted by this statement on the MFC website:  “The Club will consider all its options before accepting the Tribunal’s decision.”

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.

If the near inevitable happens and he doesn't get off, he could do worse than look to Chandler for inspiration on how to keep his chin up, preserve and suceed after getting ffed over by the AFL.

My dog is utterly outraged. He’s gone to sleep with his Melbourne blanket and emotional support chew toy hoping for better news tomorrow.

That wasn’t me sir. I want a full retraction.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
