    I was at the game and the incident happened right in front of me. Pretty much all the crowd around me agreed JVR had his eyes on the ball.

    What hasn't been mentioned is that no Suns player remonstrated with Van R. Ellis was standing beside them as they fell and he immediately ran upfield, assuming a free would be paid...In other words, he was ten meters away and saw nothing untoward and assumed a free kick would be paid, end of matter...

    Even the square off by the Suns players was half hearted.

    Including that rat Powell who casually went over to pick up the ball, when Ballard was lying on the ground, to ensure that he got another kick for his stats and SuperCoach profile

    Think its time for me to invest in a grid iron helmet, and cut out my wife's shoulder pads from her '80s collection! Just need a Hunt or Naughton headband and I'll be rockin' (and compliant)!!

    Make sure you agree on a safe word before you start.

    I do.

    It was Jack Viney 2014

    Prior to this was the Trengove sling tackle on Dangerfield but at the time we were very much irrelevant so no-one really cared. Dangerfield miraculously recovered from his concussion and was best on ground the following week.

    The Viney brace was legendary.

    Am I correct in understanding that had JVR actually touched the ball, even by a whisker, then we wouldn't even be having this conversation and it'd simply be put down as a "football incident" ?

    Does anybody know if the club has managed to track down this so called reasonable person the Tribunal keep referring to. I have a feeling that if we can find him/her they might be able to clear up this matter rather quickly.

    Pfffft.   The AFL has never had integrity, so why would it start now?  New CEO, maybe? But then he has been part of the circus long enough so nothing will change 

    Mmm, I've always had to reconcile my feelings about the AFL by accepting they are basically operate as a political organisation.

    It's all about optics and grabbing more power.

    You want a footy team in Tassie? Build a new stadium with 3 thousand extra seats before we could possibly enter a team.

    Allegations of racism at Hawthorn? High profile coach at the centre of it has not even been interviewed yet.

    Betting scandal involving an umpire?....Crickets.

    Criticism that the game is a bit slow? Keep changing the rules making it more complex and irrational.

    Umpiring standards are woeful? Just chuck another one on the field.

    Litigation by former players around CTE? Better look like we're doing something about it. Let's find a scapegoat = MFC and JVR.

    They are a 7 X 24 spin cycle mates club machine.

    The AFL acts like a political party. It's all about how it looks.

    The only way JVR gets off is if the media howls the AFL down.

    So far so good. 

    Even if he gets off, nothing will really change unless people stop attending or watching.

    If it wasn't for my passion for the MFC, there's no way I would be watching or attending this weird circus.

    I put the AFL on par with the royal family (aka the firm).  It is protect the brand AT ALL COSTS.

    Outrage. 47 pages. They AFL are just making it up as they go. 
     

    Fogarty. Oops a mistake.  Why not bring that to MRO and the tribunal.  It was far worse.  
     

    No striking. No intent. No swinging arm. No concussion. 
     

    Should have reasonably foreseen causing injury and contact.  Thats not right. Where’s that new rule !!!! That’s every contest in our game.  You cannot stop going for a spoil in a marking contest.

    Just heard the most sensible comment on this matter.

    Jordan Lewis on 360 - " They are making it up as they go along "

    Can't argue with that !!!

    I liked his dig at Will Powell too, I think Jordan still rates the players code quite high

    That would be far too sensible a narrative for the toilet trained AFL media to put out.

    No. That is not part of the decision.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
