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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
