This reminds me of when Fritta’s one-week suspension was (successfully) appealed in May 2021. I had only just joined Demonland and we were all on here to learn Fritta’s fate, record number of posters for a Tuesday arvo. I remember thinking, “Wow, I’ve found a bunch of nuffies as nuffie as me!”

I think you're underselling yourself a little WC

@WalkingCivilWar certainly is underselling. Makes her a very good buy IMHO. Blue-chip.

    Close - no cigar.

    Brad Close: forever remembered for punching the ball into the stands late in the game, Round 23, 2021.

    Thanks, Brad!

    As such, we will have to take it on face value that his name is Bradley Close."

     

    Ihle (Geelong): It was Dawson that took the tackle in the direction it went, it was Dawson that brought the two of them towards the ground, it was Dawson who lost his footy, it was Dawson who chose to hold onto the ball.

    Editorial summary: It was Dawson

    Tonight is like the good ol' Tuesday nights at Harrison House and Neil (the Hangman) Busse. Great dayz. Bang, bang, bang meant something different back then. Dippa, 3 weeks (BANG), Mr Keenan, 2 weeks (BANG), and as for you Mr. Rhys-Jones, 6 weeks and $250 fine (BANG BANG BANG).

    Rooey giving evidence now. Good luck young man.

    Hard to argue ‘high impact’ when the player is already training and cleared to fly to Perth and play less than 6 days after the incident.

    Out of curiosity, under the laws is there a level above high impact?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
