Common sense prevails! Absolutely no immediate reaction from any Suns player. Players respond straight away when something dirty has occurred. They knew, like most of us, Jacob was just trying to spoil the mark. Look at Jacobs reaction too attempting to give a hand to help Ballard up and showing he was sorry to have caused an injury. Well done young man! I was also very impressed with Kozzy's genuine concern for the injured player as he stayed at the scene for quite a while.Great to have him on board at the MFC.

    Clearly Michael Christian needs to study the laws of the game

    On this effort and many of his past efforts, I honestly think he should step down. To actually sanction a player for which that player has protection under 18.5 clearly shows he has no understanding of the rules and to totally ignore the hit on Bowey from Chol is a derilection of duty and proves he is no longer a suitable person to hold such a position.

    Glad you mentioned that: I noticed it as well and felt proud of both of them.

    The match reviews should really be conducted by the MRO viewing ALL of each match's footage, without ANY commentary audio.

    I'd like to see them clarify something like this:

    "Swinging arms and fists that connect directly with the head or face in an attempt to spoil is not incidental contact. Straight arm spoils where there is no contact between the first and head, will be considered incidental contact, where the sole objective is spoiling or contesting the mark."

    Overhead marking contests means high contact will occur. As it does in netball. But swinging fist style spoils probably void the duty of care to the other player, where that swinging fist is aimed at the head and not the ball.

    Was going to ask why the emergency umpire does not watch the game with this in mind. But I see they dropped having an emergency umpire when they went to four field umps.

    I’m currently at an MFC function. It’s amazing what you hear when it’s just you who’s listening: I asked Pres. Kate her thoughts on the Rooey thing. Not gonna repeat what she said but if anyone really wants to know, just go back through this thread and randomly pick any of @Jaded No More’s posts and you’ve got it. 🤣🤣🤣

    Perhaps the AFL got a NO WIN, NO FEE deal, just so they don't feel like complete losers. 🤔

    Honestly, this is going to seem ridiculous but probably not  any more than the original penalty applied to Van Rooyen.

    If the penalty stood for this incident, then, in an instant, 75 % of all actions on a football field become a potential source of a suspension for every single player in the comp.

    And the next logical step would be to allow only one player to go for a mark to remove the possibility of any injury to any player. Perhaps the single player allowed to go for the mark should be the one who first calls out " IT'S MINE !!! "

    Any other player attempting to compete for it concedes a free kick and a 50 metre penalty.

    This might not be so far from a probable outcome as people might think

    With the AFL as it's currently run, anything is possible

    It used to be a committee of 3, and they were supposed to watch all matches, on replay if nec, and make their own decisions. Not sure why they changed it; might have been it took too long for the 3 to get together and exchange notes.

    Now it seems suspiciously as if Christian waits for the TV broadcasters and panel shows to get all outraged, or all meh, and lay his charges based on that.

    I just came off AFL website, I was looking for their statement regarding JVR and you are right, Rif, Zero, Zilch nothing to see here folks, a bit churlish I think. Biggest story of the week has disappeared leaving no trace.!!!

    Pravda just took the aap feed - https://www.afl.com.au/news/922801/young-dee-learns-fate-after-suspension-appeal

    No columnist would dare touch it, plus Barrett's sliding doors yarn is submitted on a Wednesday evening / Thursday morning so didn't comment on it specifically but the mro process in totality:

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
