    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" ?

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
