I think we had to pay $10,000 to appeal which we get back if/when we win.

 

Is that reasonable? 😁

 

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he gets off.

But I don't think he will

I agree. The vibes are off and I don’t think our counter argument was at all strong enough. 

 

Im more worried about the kid in his 5th game getting all this lumped on him, when he was doing nothing more than following a coaches instructions.

Add to that all the boo's he's getting whenever he goes near the ball 😭

The Appeal Board is back and has no questions.

The Appeal Board is NOW deliberating.

It appears the Appeal Board has folded and will come back with a ruling in favor of the AFL.

Assuming this.... they are now tainted with the AFL's "make it up as you go along" brush and as a club we can expect further unreasonable outcomes such as this in future but ONLY when/where it suits the AFL to do so.

A similar occurrence with others (eg; Fogarty) will result in said player not even being sited, cleared even if he is or a minor slap on the wrist depending on the Player/Club in question.

The circus rolls on!

Yeah. There's a "predetermined" feel to all this. 

Comes down to fingers crossed for me

Except nowhere in the law does it say that you have a duty of care when going to contest the ball. 
Where is that specific law? 

When you're banging your head against a brick wall (AFL) good luck.

On a different note, not entirely sure we were thoroughly strong with our case. Felt like Adrian Anderson had a stronger case.

Behind closed doors the appeals board spin the giant wheel of misfortune

Does anyone know if the David King 55% stat on JVR includes that high ball forward on the weekend? You know the one that landed on a Sun in the pock....

Oh, ahhh, never mind.


This is really embarrassing for the game can't have a go at Football "soccer" anymore after this.

This Tweet

Just saw on the news that Brad Green has been sanctioned by the AFL for his twitter comment into this ban! 😂

The club has been asked to explain his criticism of the Tribunal on Twitter

Maybe we're going with an alternative plan. Perhaps the strategy has always been to lose gallantly to get the rest of the team up in arms with an "us and them mentality" which is intended to take them through to the end of September. Mind you, it's not the strategy I'd be going with.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
