    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
