    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
