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

I see the future of Footy

Two teams come on to the field 

Two teams shake hands

.Two teams go off the field

Game over

    MRO process needs to be a committee

    Or else Michael Christian needs a new job , or some performance management 

     

     

    Very very harsh treatment to expect someone to leave the AFL. He/She would only be paid market rates, would not have a product that sells itself and basic competency would be expected.

    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.!!!

    As wsw said it was there but mysteriously disappeared later - which is odd because less news-worthy articles seem to have had more staying power. I can't think why.

    No tiddlywinks to determine the winner? Or ... more in line with the AFL's sponsorships ... one roll each on a pokie machine.

    Perhaps we need some rules regarding duty of care when shaking hands

    The AFL will demand a set Im sure

    If you ‘ tiddle’ when you should be ‘winking’ , there ought to be a free kick against your team downfield for that offence !!

    Obviously someone knocked some sense into this kid.

    Good game! 

    Charlie didn't really need any sense knocking into him, he's a solid player.

    Makes me wonder if we should consider him a target to poach to shore up our key backs down the track.  The GC has been a good development club for the MFC in this area in the past.

    People have been known to have fingers broken in a firm handshake so the AFL owes players a duty of care to ban handshaking both before and after games because of the possibility that the practice could cause injury, albeit that the contact might not be high.

    That was last week's interpretation of that rule.

    If the decision went against JVR i was thinking of a game where players drop to the ground and roll

    around clutching their heads!

    Another solid though not spectacular game in a developing tall forward.   Will take time but remains ultra competitive and not deterred by the “events of the week”.

    Keep up the development and team things and he will go a long long way.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
