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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
